Multiplying and dividing 2- and 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers by splitting them by place value, plus remainders, estimating and word problems.
Content standard: 4.11; 4.12 · multiplying by one digit and dividing with remainders
Unit 4
Fractions
Naming fractions from pictures and number lines, comparing fractions with the same top or bottom number, using 1/2 as a benchmark, and finding equal fractions.
Content standard: 4.13; 4.14 · equivalent fractions and comparing fractions
Unit 5
Decimals
Tenths and hundredths as decimals, linking them to fractions, placing and comparing them on number lines, and adding and subtracting decimals by lining up the decimal points.
Content standard: 4.18; 4.19 · decimal notation for tenths and hundredths, and comparing decimals
Unit 6
Patterns & Tables
Extending increasing and decreasing number patterns, naming pattern rules, finding rules in input/output tables, and describing how two quantities are related.
Content standard: 4.5 · making and describing number patterns that follow a given rule
Unit 7
Equations
Solving one-step equations with a box or letter for the unknown, using all four operations, and matching equations to word problems.
Content standard: 4.3 · solving multi-step word problems with a letter for the unknown
Unit 8
Polygons & Perimeter
Telling regular polygons (all sides and angles equal) from irregular ones, finding lines of symmetry, and measuring perimeter around regular and irregular shapes.
Content standard: 4.23; 4.28; 4.29 · classifying shapes, lines of symmetry, and perimeter
Unit 9
Fractions
Reading and naming fractions from halves to tenths, counting by fractions, comparing them, and seeing 3 × 1/4 as three fourths.
Content standard: 4.15; 4.16 · building fractions from unit fractions and multiplying a fraction by a whole number
Unit 10
Angles & Area
Sorting angles into acute, right, obtuse and straight, finding area by multiplying length by width, and working backward to find a side.
Content standard: 4.23; 4.24; 4.25; 4.27 · lines and angles, measuring right, acute and obtuse angles, and the area formula for rectangles
Unit 11
Metric Measures
Changing between grams and kilograms and between liters and milliliters, understanding kilo, centi and milli, and choosing a sensible unit and tool.
Content standard: 4.21 · choosing units and knowing the relative sizes of metric units of length, mass and capacity
Unit 12
Prime & Composite
A prime number has exactly two factors, 1 and itself (like 7). A composite number has more than two (like 12). 1 is neither. Children find factors with multiplication and division facts.
Content standard: 4.4 · finding factor pairs and telling prime from composite numbers
Unit 13
Feet, Pounds & Gallons
Knowing how US customary units compare (12 inches in a foot, 16 ounces in a pound, 4 quarts in a gallon) as well as metric and time units, and converting a larger unit to a smaller one.
Content standard: 4.21; 4.22 · converting larger units to smaller ones and solving measurement word problems
Unit 14

Content standard: 4.20 · reading line plots and graphs to solve problems
Unit 15
Times as Many
Multiplicative comparison: reading 35 = 5 × 7 as “35 is 5 times as many as 7”, and solving “times as many” problems, which are different from “more than” problems.
Content standard: 4.1; 4.2 · multiplication as a comparison and times-as-many word problems
