February: In Unit 6, students study fractions and decimals. By using models, students begin the unit by finding equivalent fractions. As the unit progresses, students make fraction cards that show area representations for fractions and mixed numbers. They compare and order fractions on a number line. They make conjectures about general rules for comparing fractions. In this picture, students in Ms. Bapat's class work collaboratively to order their fraction cards.
January: In Unit 4, students measure lengths using U.S. standard units (inches, feet, yards) and metric units (centimeters, meters), convert measurements from larger units to smaller units within the same measurement system (for example, from feet to inches), and measure perimeters. They classify quadrilaterals and triangles based on specific characteristics. They measure angles using other angles as references and using a protractor. Students also solve problems about area, the two-dimensional measure of the size of a surface.
December: In the beginning of the month (Unit 3), students learned to multiply 2 digit by 1 digit numbers by breaking numbers apart. Students also execute division problems while understanding remainders.
November: In Unit 2, The fourth graders solve multiplication problems with small 2-digit numbers by breaking the numbers apart and representing their solutions with arrays. Students also solve and represent division problems in story contexts, including problems with remainders.
