Curriculum Expectations
Here is the full wording for all the grade-level specific expectations, along with columns for Progress, Term 1, and Term 2 completion. There is also space for notes and assessments beside each expectation.
Here is the full wording for all the Grade 4 and 5 specific expectations, along with columns for Progress, Term 1, and Term 2 completion. There is also space for notes and assessments beside each expectation.
My colleague (Rosanna) and I summarized the curriculum expectations into a single-page document. For the full wording and key concepts, visit the Ministry Curriculum Platform.
These key concepts were taken and formatted from the Ministry Digital Curriculum Platform. Editable GoogleDoc found here.

Comparing expectations from both curriculum documents
Listing the "Catch-Up" Expectations from the previous year (in essence, what is "new" from the previous year)
This document is useful for teachers who have taught this grade before. I compared the 2005 and 2020 curricula and highlighted the key changes for Grade 6.

Our colleagues at SCDSB created a spiraled course of study that begins with SEL for the first 20 days, and then covers the Grade 4 curriculum in three blocks.
Grade 4 Course of Study - SCDSB (AUG2020)Our friends at Simcoe County created and launched the First 20 Days of Math, which include activities that:
foster overall well-being
support math learning to high levels for all learners
develop social-emotional learning skills and the mathematical processes
contribute to equitable opportunities and outcomes

Janet Carbonell (PDSB) created slides for each topic in Grade 4 math. The master list of all her slides can be found here.
STRAND B- NUMBER
STRAND C- ALGEBRA
Coding: Janet recommends adapting from here
STRAND D- DATA
STRAND E- SPATIAL SENSE
STRAND F- FINANCIAL LITERACY
From the Grade 4-5 teachers Rosanna and I worked with, we were asked to help develop a sample for C4: Mathematical Modelling. It is inspired by the OAME Elementary Math Curriculum Resource Project: Grade 3 - We Have Power & Grade 4 Planning the School Breakfast Club
This is a four-week learning unit that teachers can use as a guide to engage students in the Mathematical Modelling process, even if it is not familiar to them.
The learning unit starts with the first three stages of the Mathematical Modeling framework and embeds number, measurement, geometry, and financial literacy while continuing with the modeling process.

Interleaving of two strands per topic (month)
Full-year interaction with Mental Math, Modelling, SEL, Coding, and Math Facts
The following Gr. 4 Concept Map serves as an example of how one may decide to structure and plan their mathematics program throughout the school year. Each month of instruction can be designed around a topic that allows students to explore curriculum content from multiple strands. The topics aim to connect the overall and specific expectations to meaningful contexts and tasks connected to the real world. It is vital teachers approach their planning with a responsive lens and adjust to meet the diverse needs and lived experiences of their students. Math instruction should be grounded in the curriculum and research-based resources, as well as be flexible and responsive to student needs. This concept map is not meant to be rigidly followed.
