  • NC.4.OA.4 Factors and Multiples 10-30-2024

    Week from 09/30/2024 to 10/04/2024

    NC.4.OA.4 Find all factor pairs for whole numbers up to and including 50 to:

    • Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors.

    • Determine whether a given whole number is a multiple of a given one-digit number.

    • Determine if the number is prime or composite.

    This is the standard we are going to learn to help us understand multiplication and division better. This standard opens the window to learn about factors, prime numbers, composite numbers, and multiples. You will need to know your multiplication facts, as this helps make finding factors and multiples a lot easier.

  • NC.4.NBT.7 Comparing/Rounding Numbers 09/09/2024

    Week: September 09, 2024 to September 13, 2024

    NC.4.NBT.7

    NC.4.NBT.7 Compare two multi-digit numbers up to and including 100,000
    based on the values of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

    This week we will be comparing and rounding numbers. Place value can be used to compare numbers. Rounding whole numbers is a process for finding the multiple of 10, 100, and so on closest to a given number. 

    Compare Multi-Digit Whole Numbers:

    Scholars will use their understanding of place value, including the relationships developed in the previous lesson, to compare numbers. They will use greater than, equal, and less than symbols (>, =, <) to record their comparisons.

    The place values of digits in multi-digit whole numbers are used to compare numbers. You will start comparing from the left. Look for the first digit that is different. With practice, scholars will be able to compare and understand the process better.

    Round Whole Numbers:

    NC.4.NBT.3

    NC.4.NBT.3  Use place value Understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.

    With this lesson, scholars will use their understanding of place value to round whole numbers. They will analyze the place values of digits and use that analysis to determine which multiple of 10, 100, 1,000, and so forth, a given number is closest to. Scholars will understand the concept of using a number line to round, as well.  

    A shortcut is to look at the digit to the right of the rounding place. If it is 5 or more, raise the score (add 1) to the underlined digit. If it is 4 or less, let it rest (the underlined digit stays the same). Scholars will follow the steps to help build a better understanding when rounding numbers.

  • NC.4.NBT.1 Place Value / NC.4.NBT.2 Numbers through Millions 09/02/2024

    NC.4.NBT.1 

    NC.4.NBT.1 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.

    In a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it would represent in the place immediately to its right. The numbers increase in value as more and more digits are written in the places to the left, and each new place value represents exactly ten times the value of the place immediately to its right.

    Lesson 1.1/1.2 Place Value Lesson

    NC.4.NBT.2:

    Our number system is based on groups of ten. Whenever we get 10 in one place value, we move to the next greater place value. You learned in third grade that 123 is comprised of 1 hundred, 2 tens, and 3 ones. 

    --> You will see that there are patterns that repeat in the place-value chart. One example of a pattern is that the first word on the right in each period is the same for all periods (i.e.., one, one thousands, one million).

    -->Another example of a pattern is that each place value to the left is ten times as great as the place value to its right. 

    Use the glossary from Envision Math textbook to define the following vocabulary words in your Math Interactive Notebook.   

    Academic Vocabulary:

    place value, period, expanded form, word form. standard form, number form
