Units
Unit 1
Numbers to 10,000
Reading, writing and comparing numbers up to 10,000: place value, expanded form, number lines, ordering and rounding.
TEKS student expectation: 4.2(B); 4.2(C); 4.2(D) · place value, comparing and ordering whole numbers, and rounding
Unit 2
Tenths & Decimals
Reading, comparing, ordering and rounding decimal tenths, linking them to fractions, and adding and subtracting them.
TEKS student expectation: 4.2(E); 4.2(G) · tenths and hundredths with models and money, and decimals as fractions
Unit 3
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.
TEKS student expectation: 4.2(F); 4.4(A) · comparing and ordering decimals to hundredths, and adding and subtracting them
Unit 4
Add & Subtract
Adding and subtracting numbers to 10,000 with regrouping, counting up to subtract, estimating by rounding, and solving word problems.
TEKS student expectation: 4.4(A) · adding and subtracting whole numbers with the standard algorithm
Unit 5
Multiply & Divide
Multiplying and dividing 2- and 3-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers by splitting them by place value, plus remainders, estimating and word problems.
TEKS student expectation: 4.4(D); 4.4(F); 4.4(H) · multiplying and dividing by a one-digit number, including remainders
Unit 6
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.
TEKS student expectation: 4.4(H) · solving one- and two-step multiplication and division problems, such as times as many
Unit 7
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.
TEKS student expectation: 4.3(C); 4.3(D) · equivalent fractions, and comparing fractions with different numerators and denominators
Unit 8
Fractions
Reading and naming fractions from halves to tenths, counting by fractions, comparing them, and seeing 3 × 1/4 as three fourths.
TEKS student expectation: 4.3(A); 4.3(B) · building fractions from unit fractions and decomposing them in more than one way
Unit 9
Patterns & Tables
Extending increasing and decreasing number patterns, naming pattern rules, finding rules in input/output tables, and describing how two quantities are related.
TEKS student expectation: 4.5(B) · input-output tables and number patterns that follow a rule
Unit 10
Equations
Solving one-step equations with a box or letter for the unknown, using all four operations, and matching equations to word problems.
TEKS student expectation: 4.5(A) · multi-step problems with a letter for the unknown number
Unit 11
Angles & Area
Sorting angles into acute, right, obtuse and straight, finding area by multiplying length by width, and working backward to find a side.
TEKS student expectation: 4.6(A); 4.5(D) · points, lines, rays and angles, and the area of rectangles
Unit 12
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.
TEKS student expectation: 4.5(C); 4.6(B); 4.6(D) · perimeter formulas, lines of symmetry, and classifying two-dimensional figures
Unit 13
Triangles, Quadrilaterals & Angles
Triangles are named by their sides (equilateral, isosceles, scalene) and by their angles (acute, right, obtuse). Quadrilaterals include squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms and trapezoids. Complementary angles add to 90° and supplementary angles add to 180°.
TEKS student expectation: 4.6(C); 4.7(E) · acute, right and obtuse triangles, and finding an unknown angle from two adjacent angles
Unit 14
Metric Measures
Changing between grams and kilograms and between liters and milliliters, understanding kilo, centi and milli, and choosing a sensible unit and tool.
TEKS student expectation: 4.8(A); 4.8(B) · relative sizes of metric units, and converting between them
Unit 15
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.
TEKS student expectation: 4.8(A); 4.8(B); 4.8(C) · relative sizes of customary units, converting, and solving measurement problems
Unit 16
Line Plots & Data
Reading tables of measurements in halves, fourths and eighths of an inch, finding differences, comparing two classes, and choosing questions that need data.
TEKS student expectation: 4.9(A); 4.9(B) · dot plots with whole numbers and fractions, and solving problems with their data
Unit 17
Expenses, Profit & Banks
Personal financial literacy: your child tells fixed from variable expenses, works out profit, compares ways to save, plans how to split an allowance between spending, saving and sharing, and learns what banks do.
TEKS student expectation: 4.10(A); 4.10(B); 4.10(C); 4.10(D); 4.10(E) · fixed and variable expenses, profit, savings options, an allowance plan, and what banks do
