4th Grade Math Topics in Connecticut
Connecticut 4th graders cover a wide range of math skills this year. From multiplying four-digit numbers to comparing fractions with unlike denominators, the curriculum builds a strong foundation for upper elementary math. StudyPug covers every topic your child will encounter in class, aligned to Connecticut Core Standards Math.
Multiplication and Division
4th grade math starts with understanding multiplication as a comparison and solving word problems involving multiplicative comparisons. Students multiply up to four-digit numbers by a one-digit number and two two-digit numbers together. Division topics include finding whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends.
- Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison
- Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison
- Multiply whole numbers up to four digits by a one-digit number
- Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends
Place Value and Number Operations
Students explore how digits in a multi-digit number relate to each other by place, read and write large numbers in expanded form, and round multi-digit numbers to any place. They also fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
- Recognize that a digit represents ten times the place to its right
- Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals and expanded form
- Round multi-digit whole numbers to any place
- Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers
Fractions and Decimals
Fractions are a major focus in 4th grade. Students learn to find equivalent fractions, compare fractions with different numerators and denominators, add fractions as sums of unit fractions, and multiply a fraction by a whole number. They also connect fractions to decimals using denominators of 10 and 100.
- Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to (n × a)/(n × b)
- Compare two fractions with different numerators and denominators
- Add and subtract fractions as sums of unit fractions 1/b
- Multiply a fraction by a whole number
- Express fractions with denominator 10 as equivalent fractions with denominator 100
- Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100
- Compare two decimals to hundredths
Measurement and Data
4th graders solve word problems involving distances, time, liquid volumes, masses, and money using all four operations. They apply area and perimeter formulas for rectangles and display data on line plots using fractions of a unit.
Geometry
Geometry topics in 4th grade include identifying and drawing points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles. Students classify two-dimensional figures by their properties, measure angles using a protractor, and recognize lines of symmetry.
- Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles
- Classify two-dimensional figures by parallel or perpendicular lines and angle types
- Measure and sketch angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor
- Recognize angle measure as additive
- Identify lines of symmetry in two-dimensional figures
