Advanced 4th gr Math
Students who are in the Advanced 4th grade Math class will move through the 4th grade curriculum at a pace that will allow them to begin Unit 1 and 2 in the Bridges 5th grade curriculum.

4th grade: Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 4 Unit 5 Unit 6 Unit 7 Unit 8
In grade 4 math, your child will:
- understand factors and multiples, e.g., 1,2,4,5,10, and 20 are all factors of 20, and 20 is a multiple of each of those numbers
- understand that a prime number has only 2 factors—1 and itself, while a composite number has more than 2 factors
- multiply multi-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations
- divide 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and the relationship between multiplication and division
- read, write, and compare multi-digit numbers and round multi-digit numbers to any place
- add and subtract multi-digit numbers accurately and efficiently
- recognize and generate equivalent fractions
- compare two fractions with different numerators and denominators
- add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators
- multiply a fraction by a whole number
- write fractions with denominators of 10 or 100 in decimal notation
- compare decimal numbers with digits to the hundredths place
- know the relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units, including metric length, metric mass, customary weight, metric volume, and time
- use formulas for area and perimeter of a rectangle to solve problems
- measure and sketch angles with a protractor
- classify 2-D shapes
- identify and draw lines of symmetry
When the advanced fourth grade class begins grade 5 math, your child will:
- use models and strategies to divide 2- and 3-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers, with and without remainders. (Students are not expected to use the standard long division algorithm until sixth grade.)
- add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators
- measure volume
