  DESCRIPTION

  Mathematics 4 is taught 60 minutes a day, five days a week. All fourth graders are placed in flexible groups where teachers are departmentalized in order to specialize in a particular area.  This includes 15 minutes each day of  Arithmetic Developed Daily.  This is a daily, consistent maintenance program that contains mixed skills and a wide variety of computational and problem-solving challenges.

  COURSE OBJECTIVES

  1.         The learner will be able to demonstrate place value of whole numbers through the millions and decimals to the hundredth place.  (4.1.1)

  2.                    The learner will be able to write and illustrate equivalencies of whole numbers in expanded form, decimals, and fractions.  (4.1.2)

  3.                    The learner will be able to describe and apply relationships between whole numbers, decimals, and fractions by order, comparison, and operation.  (4.1.3)

  4.             The learner will be able to identify examples of positive and negative numbers and zero.  (4.1.4)

  5.            The learner will be able to make change and count out in amounts up to $20.00.  (4.1.5)

 6.              The learner will be able to estimate, add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers with and without calculators and solve word problems.  (4.2.1)

 7.             The learner will be able to estimate, add, and subtract decimals with and without calculators and solve word problems.  (4.2.2)

 8.            The learner will be able to estimate, add, and subtract fractions with like denominators without calculators and solve word problems.  (4.2.3)

 9.           The learner will be able to estimate, measure, and solve word problems using metric units for linear measure, area, mass/weight, capacity, and 

                   temperature.  (4.3.1)   

10.             The learner will be able to estimate, measure, and solve word problems using standard units for linear measure, area, mass/weight, capacity, and temperature.  (4.3.2)

 11.    The learner will be able to tell and write correct time to the minute using an analog clock.  (4.3.3)

 12.      The learner will be able to measure and determine the perimeter of a many-sided figure without a formula using standard and metric units of measure.  (4.3.4)

 13.     The learner will be able to identify, describe, and create two- and three-dimensional geometric shapes.  (4.4.1)

14.    The learner will be able to identify and draw points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles.  (4.4.2)

15.    The learner will be able to identify, analyze, and compare two-dimensional geometric figures using congruence, symmetry, similarity, and simple     transformations.  (4.4.3)

16.    The learner will be able to collect, organize, record, and interpret data and describe the findings.  (4.5.1)

17.    The learner will be able to use and interpret variables and mathematical symbols to write and solve one-step equations.  (4.6.1)

18.    The learner will be able to identify, describe, and extend arithmetic patterns, using concrete materials and tables.  (4.6.2)
