Index: 4.1A Grade 4 CPI 1

 

Standard: 4.1 - Number and Numerical Operations

 

Strand: A - Number Sense

 

Cumulative Progress Indicator: 1 - The student will use real-life experiences, physical materials, and technology to construct meanings for numbers (unless otherwise noted, all indicators for grade 4 pertain to these sets of numbers as well).

·        Whole numbers through millions

·        Commonly used fractions (denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16) as part of a whole, as a subset of a set, and as a location on a number line

·        Decimals through hundredths

 

Grade: 4

 

Sample Activities:

 

·        Students are comfortable using a full array of base-ten models including money, base-ten blocks, and chip trading materials to represent both whole numbers and decimals.

 

·        Students use computer software that provides easy pictorial representation of large whole numbers, decimals, and fractions like the MECC Math Tools, the Silver Burdett Math Workshop, and the Wasatch Math Construction Tools.

 

·        Students use geoboards to model common fractions. For example, they search for multiple ways to show 1/4 on the geoboard.

 

·        Students use Cuisenaire Rods to model fractions, frequently switching the rod or length used as the whole to avoid the misconception that, for instance, the yellow rod is always one-half.

 

Kidspiration Activities:

 

·        Use the number line symbol and the create SuperGrouper tool to create number line SuperGrouper shapes to order common fractions.
