As students are gaining their formal educational experience, the emphasis in mathematics in fourth grade continues to develop and target Number and Operations, Algebraic Reasoning and Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, and Data and Probability. Many essential components addressed in fourth grade will encompass real world experiences that naturally pique the student’s problem solving skills, engage reasoning and communication with others, provide a powerful and positive peace of mind during lesson inquiry, solve problem based tasks, and develop fluency. These skills are critical in establishing a firm foundation as students enter fifth grade.

They will evaluate other students work and critique or defend the work. Students will also be able to question another’s work as well as answer questions about their own reasoning.
Develop a Productive Mathematical Disposition recognize the importance of decimals, fractions, and geometric patterns as part of their everyday life. View struggle as part of the problem solving process, understanding the importance of perseverance and active engagement.
Develop the Ability to Make Conjectures, Model, and Generalize use graphs, tables, pictures, words, and symbols to strategize and solve real world problems. Make generalizations about the powers of 10 and use them to help estimate and reason. Create input/output tables and other graphs and charts to recognize patterns and express them in writing as well as verbally.
Develop the Ability to Communicate Mathematically appropriately use vocabulary regarding time, decimals, money, fractions, multi-digit multiplication and division, when solving problems and defending their answer. Students will listen and respond to strategize and solve problems with their peers.
