Unit 1

Whole Numbers ,Place Value and Rounding in Computation

Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.

MGSE4.NBT.1 (Powers of ten)

Recognize that in a multidigit whole number, a digit in any one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.

K1: I can explain multiplication strategies.

R1: I can interpret multiplication equations by comparing 18 = 3 x 6 and 6 x 3.

R2: I can verbalize comparisons using multiplication as an equation.

MGSE4.NBT.2 (Read, write and compare multi-digit whole numbers)

Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

K1: I can multiply or divide to solve word problems.

K2: I can describe multiplicative comparison.

K3: I can describe additive comparison. (Repeated addition.)

R1: I can analyze and solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison.

R2: I can choose and use representations to model problems involving multiplicative comparison.

R3: I can explain the difference between multiplicative comparison and additive comparison.

MGSE4.NBT.3 (Round whole numbers)

Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.

K1: I can round numbers (up to 1,000,000) to any place using place value.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.

MGSE4.NBT.4 (Add and subtract/algorithm)

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

K1: I can fluently add and subtract whole numbers (up to 1,000,000).

Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.

MGSE4.OA.3 (Addition and subtraction multistep word problems)

Solve multistep word problems with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a symbol or letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

K1: I can divide whole numbers with and without remainders.

R1: I can write equations to represent multi-step word problems with variables. (A letter stands for the unknown quantity or number)

R2: I can interpret multi-step word problems (with and without remainders) and choose the correct operation to solve.

R3: I can determine whether my answer is reasonable using mental math, estimation strategies, and rounding.


Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit, including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec.

MGSE4.MD.2 (Word problems- time, distance, volume, etc.)

Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.

K1: I can add measurement quantities.

K2: I can subtract measurement quantities.

K3: I can multiply measurement quantities.

K4: I can divide measurement quantities.

K5: I can write measurements in larger units in terms of smaller units.

R1: I can write measurements in larger units in terms of smaller units.

R2: I can solve word problems involving measurement that includes simple fractions and decimals.

R3: I can solve word problems involving measurements in larger units and write them in smaller units.

R4: I can show measurement quantities using diagrams. (I can use number line diagrams)

Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.

MGSE4.MD.3 (Perimeter w/rectangles)

R1: I can use the formula for perimeter of a rectangle to solve real world and math problems.

R2: I can use the formula for area of a rectangle to solve real world and math problems.

R3: I can solve area and perimeter problems where there is an unknown.
