Assessment Reminder:

Administer the Grade 4 G/T Mathematics Assessment Part 1 as a pretest the first week of school.


Quarter 1:

Problem Solving Strategies

Big Ideas: Problem solving builds mathematical knowledge. There are many different ways to solve a problem.

Suggested Timeline: Ongoing throughout the year. Incorporate into warm-ups, seatwork and/or homework.

Instructional Objective(s)
The students will be able to:

Clarifying Example(s)/Mathematics Background

Objective Resource Match
Choose from the following texts, etools, web resources, exemplary lessons, and BCRs:

  1. 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.

  1. Use the Processes of Mathematics.
  1. Sample Problem (Look for a Pattern): When Mae joined the chorus she knew four songs. At the end of the first week, she knew five songs. After the second week, she knew seven songs, and at the end of third week she knew ten songs. If she continues to learn at this pace, howmany songs will she know after 12 weeks? Find the pattern. (82 songs)

Pattern: Add the next consecutive number to the previous week's songs to get the next week's number of songs.

Quarter 1 - Unit 1:

Number Relationships and Computation (Number Theory and Place Value)

Big Ideas: Numbers are related to each other in a wide variety of relationships. Numbers have different meanings when connected to real world objects and contexts.   Recognize equivalent representations for the same number and generate them by decomposing and composing numbers. Exponential notation is a way to express factors of the same number. Order of operations helps us solve problems the same way.

Quarter 1 - Unit 2:

Number Relationships and Computation (Whole Numbers and Decimals)

Big Ideas: Numbers are related to each other in a wide variety of relationships. Problems involving the four basic operations can be solved by using algorithms, mental math, a calculator, or estimation. Estimation strategies help to determine the reasonableness of answers. The numbers in the problem help determine the most efficient method. It is important to stress computational accuracy and the fluency of basic facts.
Assessment Reminder: An optional assessment is available to use as a pretest and/or posttest with this unit.
