Unit 5

Fractions & Decimals

Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.

MGSE4.NF.5 (Denominators 10 and 100)

K1: I can rename fractions with a denominator of 10 as a fraction with a denominator of 100.

K2: I can recognize fractions with a denominator of 10 as a fraction with a denominator of 100.

K3: I can describe how two fractions with unlike denominators can be equivalent.

R1: I can add two fractions with denominators 10 and 100 by renaming tenths to hundredths.

MGSE4.NF.6 (Decimal notation)

K1: I can explain the values of digits in the decimal places.

K2: I can read and write decimals through hundredths.

K3: I can rename fractions with 10 and 100 in the denominator as decimals.

K4: I can recognize multiple representations of fractions with denominators of 10 or 100.

R1: I can show fractions with denominators 10 or 100 with visual models and decimal notation.

R2: I can explain how decimals and fractions are related.

MGSE4.NF.7 (Comparing decimals)

K1: I can tell that comparisons are correct when two decimals refer to the same whole.

R1: I can compare two decimals to hundredth by thinking about their size.

R2: I can record comparison results using symbols (<, >, =).

R3: I can support the conclusions of comparisons using visual models and other methods.


Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.

MGSE4.OA.3 (Multistep word problems with all operations)

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

R1: I can write equations to represent multi-step word problems using variables to represent unknown quantities.

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.)

K1: I can add 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)
