Curriculum
Quarter 1: July 10th - September 29th
Reading
Unit 1:
I can refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the makes says explicitly and when drawing inferences (conclusions) from the text.
I can determine the theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text.
I can summarize a text.
I can describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text.
I can explain major differences between poems, drama, and prose.
I can refer to the structural elements of poems (i.e. verse, rhythm, meter) and drama (i.e. characters, settings, etc.) when writing or speaking about a text.
Speaking & Listening
I can engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 4 topics & texts.
- Come to discussions prepared & draw on preparation & other information to explore ideas.
- Follow agreed-upon rules for discussion and carry out assigned roles.
- Pose & respond to specific questions to clarify or follow up on information, and make comments
that contribute to the discussion and line to the remarks of others.
Writing
I can draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
Math
Unit 1: Data
I can represent and interpret data using whole numbers.
I can add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers up to and including 100,000 using the standard algorithm with place value understanding.
Unit 2: Multiplicative Comparison, Area & Perimeter. Factors & Multiples
I can interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison.
I can multiply and divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparisons (using models and equations with a symbol for an unknown number).
I can distinguish between multiplicative comparisons and additive comparisons.
I can solve two-step word problems involving the four operations with whole numbers.
I can find all factor pairs for whole numbers up to and including 50.
I can solve problems involving area & perimeter.
Unit 3: Place Value to Add & Subtract Whole Numbers
I can explain that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right (up to 100,000).
I can read and write multi-digit whole numbers up to and including 100,000 using numerals, number names, & expanded form.
I can compare two multi-digit numbers up to and including 100,000 based on the values of the digits in each place.
I can add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers up to and including 100,000 using the standard algorithm with place value understanding.
I can solve two-step word problems involving the four operations with whole numbers.
