4th Grade Math Unit 2

Big Idea:

Understanding decimal relationships.

Student Expectations:

Priority TEKS

4.4(A) [Readiness] add and subtract whole numbers and decimals to the hundredths place using the standard algorithm

Focus TEKS

4.2(B) [Readiness] represent the value of the digit in whole numbers through 1,000,000,000 and decimals to the hundredths using expanded notation and numerals

4.2(E) [Supporting] represent decimals, including, tenths and hundredths, using concrete and visual models and money

4.2(F) [Supporting] compare and order decimals using concrete and visual models to the hundredths

4.2(G) [Readiness] relate decimals to fractions that name tenths and hundredths

4.2(H) [Supporting] determine the corresponding decimal to the tenths or hundredths place of a specified point on a number line

4.3(G) [Supporting] represent fractions and decimals to the tenths or hundredths as distances from zero on a number line

Ongoing TEKS

4.4(A) [Readiness] add and subtract whole numbers and decimals to the hundredths place using the standard algorithm

4.1(A) apply mathematics to problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace;

4.1(B) use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution;

4.1(C) select tools, including real objects, manipulatives, paper and pencil, and technology as appropriate, and techniques, including mental math, estimation, and number sense as appropriate, to solve problems;

Student Learning Targets:

• I will represent decimals using base ten blocks and money.
• I will identify a given decimal on a number line.
• I will compare decimals using comparison symbols.
• I will order decimals from least to greatest and greatest to least.
• I will identify a decimal when given the fraction and a fraction when given the decimal.
• I will represent the value of a decimal using expanded notation and numerals.
• I will add and subtract decimals to the hundredths place using the algorithm.

Essential Questions:

• What is the relationship between a decimal and a whole number?
• How can you represent a decimal in a variety of ways?
• Explain the relationship between the tenths and hundredths place.
