Course Information

All work completed as part of the 4th and 5th Grade Math classes will be focused on the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. Standards of particular focus are listed below.

4th Grade Essential Standards for Math

**Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.

**Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.

**Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

**Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.

**Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.

**Understand decimal notation for fractions and compare decimal fractions.



5th Grade Essential Standards for Math

**Understand the place value system

**Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.

**Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions.

**Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.

**Geometric measurement:understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
