Math: Critical Areas
Students in Grade 4 will focus on these critical areas:
(1) developing an understanding and fluency with multi-digit multiplication, and developing an understanding of dividing to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends); (2) developing an understanding of fraction equivalence, addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, and multiplication of fractions by whole numbers; and (3) understanding that geometric figures can be analyzed and classified based on their properties, such as having parallel sides, perpendicular sides, particular angle measures, and symmetry.

Grammar Critical Areas
Students in Grade 4 will focus on heavily on expanding vocabulary, mastering standard English conventions (grammar and mechanics), and applying these skills to reading and writing.
The critical focus areas include:
1. Conventions of Standard English
Verbs: Forming and using regular and irregular verbs, as well as progressive verb tenses (e.g., was walking, will be walking).
Adjectives and Adverbs: Using them correctly and forming comparative and superlative adjectives/adverbs (e.g., good, better, best).
Sentence Structure: Producing complete sentences, avoiding fragments and run-ons, and correctly using coordinating conjunctions (e.g., and, but, or, so).
Capitalization and Punctuation: Capitalizing names of holidays, titles, and the first word in quotations. Students must also correctly use commas in direct speech, quotation marks for dialogue, and apostrophes for possessives.
2. Vocabulary Acquisition and Use
Figurative Language: Explaining the meaning of simple similes, metaphors, idioms, adages, and proverbs in context.
Greek and Latin Roots: Using common prefixes and suffixes (e.g., un-, dis-, -ful, -less) and root words as clues to deduce the meaning of unfamiliar multi-syllabic words.
Reference Materials: Consulting print and digital references (e.g., dictionaries, thesauruses, glossaries) to find pronunciations, clarify meanings, and find synonyms/antonyms.
3. Knowledge of Language
Style and Tone: Using precise, sensory, and domain-specific vocabulary to elevate writing and speaking.
Sentence Craft: Combining short sentences for flow or varying sentence lengths and structures to add interest and clarity.
