Math Course Overview
The curriculum for this course is based on Go Math Grade 4, which is aligned to the new Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills (TEKS) for Grade 4 Mathematics. In fourth grade mathematics, the curriculum emphasizes the development of problem-solving skills and strategies. Computation and statistics are taught within a problem-solving context. Within a well-balanced mathematics curriculum, the primary focal points at Grade 4 are use of operations, fractions, decimals, describing and analyzing geometry, and representing and interpreting data. Manipulative materials and hands-on experiences provide a basis for teaching the concepts and operations of fractions as well as the concepts of measurement and geometry.
The course will progress according to the following units and corresponding textbook topics:
Unit 1: Place Value with Decimals (Modules 1) Unit 2: Addition & Subtraction (Module 6)
Unit 3: Multiplication (Modules 7-8) Unit 4: Division (Modules 9-10)
Unit 5: Algebraic Reasoning (Modules 11-12) Unit 6: Fractions (Modules 3-5)
Unit 7: Decimals (Modules 2 & 6) Unit 8: Geometry (Modules 13-14
Unit 9: Measurement (Modules 15-16.1-2) Unit 10: Data Analysis (Module 17)
Unit 11: Financial Literacy (Modules 16.3-4 & 18) Unit 12: Cumulative Review
Unit 13: Step Up to Grade 5
