First Quarter Objectives
Math
4.NBT.1
Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
4.NBT.2
Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >;, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
4.NBT.3
Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.
4.NBT.4
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
4.NBT.5
Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
4.OA.3
Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
4.OA.4
Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite.

With guidance and support from peers and adults, develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, and editing
W4.9a
Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research. Apply grade 4 Reading standards to literature (e.g., "Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text [e.g., a character's thoughts, words, or actions].")
SL4.1a
Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions with diverse partners on Grade 4 topics and texts, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly.

Second Quarter Standards
Math
4.NBT.5Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.4.OA.1
Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
4.OA.2Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.
4.NBT.6Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

4.MD.5
Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
a. An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a "one-degree angle," and can be used to measure angles.
b. An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.

HOMEWORK
Homework provides very important practice of concepts covered in class. Students should have all homework assignments written in their agenda, and are responsible for collecting the necessary materials needed to complete the homework. Please remind your child to pay close attention to the homework instructions given in class, as directions printed on worksheets are often modified for assignments.
Helpful Homework Tips
1. Do homework in a quiet area away from distractions (Other people, T.V., computer,etc)
2. Alway show your work! Use a separate piece of paper if you don’t have room on the homework
3. Use a pencil
4. READ ALL DIRECTIONS!
5. Read the questions at least twice
6. Read the question out loud
7. Ask for help AFTER you have tried to do it on your own
8. Try your best!
