4th Grade Math Scope & Sequence

Differentiation in Action

Skill Building

Manipluatives: Use place value blocks to model multiplying multiples of 10, 100, and 1,000. The following example shows how to model 3 × 50.

“I can use place-value blocks to model 3 × 50. 50 is the same as 5 tens, so I start with a group of 5 tens. 3 × 5 tens means 3 groups of 5 tens. If I combine the 3 groups of 5 tens, I will have 15 tens. Then I can regroup 10 tens for one hundred and 5 tens, which is 150.” 3-7 STEM Activity: Topographic Maps. As an additional challenge, students can make their own topographic maps similar to the one on the worksheet and label the elevations if each layer represents 1,430 feet.

Interdisciplinary Connections

Science

The STEM project in Topic 3 does not directly connect with the 4th grade SEEd standards but could be used to enrich math and science concepts.
