4th Grade GT Math by Quarter

 
QUARTER 1 
Problem Solving Strategies 
Objectives - The student will demonstrate the ability to: 
a.    Select and then apply appropriate strategies to solve a problem from 
visual (draw a picture or diagram, create list, table or graph, act it out, 
use manipulatives, use spatial reasoning), numerical (guess and check, 
look for a pattern) symbolic (write an equation or number sentence, 
working backwards) perspectives. 
Number Relationships and Computation – Number Theory and Place Value 
Objectives - The student will demonstrate the ability to: 
a. Read and write whole numbers to millions and decimals through 
thousandths in standard and expanded form. 
b. Round whole numbers and decimals to any stated place value. 
c. State the value of each digit in a whole number through millions and a 
given decimal numeral through thousandths. 
d. Explore patterns found in ancient number systems including Roman 
and Egyptian. 
e. Compare, order, and describe decimals with or without using 
relationship symbols (<, >, =, ≠) and by placing decimals on a number 
line. 
f. Examine relationships among metric units of length (mm, cm, m). 
g. Estimate and measure length, using metric units.  Select and use 
appropriate tools and units. 
h. Identify and describe the characteristics of numbers divisible by 2, 3, 
4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. 
i. Identify prime and composite numbers through 100. 
j. Identify factors and prime factors using factor trees. 
k. Identify multiples. 
l. Identify and define perfect squares and their square roots. 
m. Write exponents to express powers of numbers and convert powers of 
numbers to standard form. 
n. Explore writing numerals in expanded form using exponential 
notation. 
o. Explain and apply the order of operations to evaluate numerical 
expressions using whole numbers. 
Number Relationships and Computation (Whole Numbers and Decimals) 
Objectives - The student will be able to: 
a. Estimate and calculate sums and differences of whole numbers and 
decimals using appropriate method of computation (mental 
mathematics, use of a calculator, use and discovery of alternate 
algorithms. 
b. Apply addition and subtraction of whole numbers and decimals to 
money.
c. Multiply multiples of 10 by a one-or two-digit factor using mental 
computation. 
d. Estimate and calculate products of whole numbers using appropriate 
method of computation (mental mathematics, use of a calculator, use 
and discovery of alternate algorithms.) 
e. Estimate and calculate quotients of multiples of 10 by multiples of 10 
using mental computation. 
f. Estimate and divide whole numbers with 1 and 2-digit divisor using 
appropriate method of computation (mental mathematics, use of a 
calculator, use and discovery of alternate algorithms.) 
g. Identify and apply identify, zero, commutative, associative, and 
distributive properties. 
h. Interpret the meaning of a remainder in a problem-solving situation 
and justify in writing. 
i. Select operations and appropriate symbols to solve multi-step 
problems, including problems involving perimeter and area.
