Grade 4 Outcomes
You can find four areas, or “strands,” in Grade 4 math.
In the Number strands, children:
In the Patterns and Relationships strand, children explain patterns in tables and charts.
For the Shape and Space strand, children:
In the Statistic and probability strand, children make and understand pictographs and bar graphs.
In order to achieve lifelong learning in mathematics, children:
In the Number strands, children:
- add and subtract to 10 000, including numbers with decimals up to hundredths;
- use mental mathematics to understand multiplication and division facts up to 9 X 9;
- recall multiplication and related division facts up to 5 x 5;
- multiply 2- or 3-digit numbers by 1- digit numbers, including multiplying by zero and by 1;
- divide up to 2-digit numbers by 1- digit numbers, including dividing by 1;
- name, record and order fractions and decimals (to hundredths) less than or equal to one.
In the Patterns and Relationships strand, children explain patterns in tables and charts.
For the Shape and Space strand, children:
- read and record time and calendar dates;
- find areas of 2-D shapes;
- solve problems involving 2-D shapes and 3-D objects.
In the Statistic and probability strand, children make and understand pictographs and bar graphs.
In order to achieve lifelong learning in mathematics, children:
- communicate what they are thinking and learning;
- connect math to everyday situations and other subjects;
- estimate and use mental math strategies;
- learn through problem solving;
- reason and explain their thinking;
- use technology to enhance their learning;
- use visual images (think in pictures) to describe their thinking.
