This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the 4th grade Math content. Within the folder you will access Parent Guide PDFs in FIVE Languages: Arabic, English, Hindi, Spanish, and Vietnamese to help on-going communication with caregivers. 

This resource accompanies our Rethink 4th Grade Math course. It includes ideas for use, ways to support exceptional children, ways to extend learning, digital resources and tools, tips for supporting English Language Learners and students with visual and hearing impairments. There are also ideas for offline learning. 

Bottle flip ratio activity - Learning what ratios are, students will be challenged to engage in a bottle flip ratio game, where the students will flip a water bottle 5 times and will have to predict how many times it will land straight up. Then, after completing the 5 rounds, they will write the ratio for the actual results. To ‘amp’ up the next challenge, the students will have to brainstorm how much more water they should add to the water bottles to see if they can make a more accurate prediction of how many many times the water bottle will actually land upright. They will see if their prediction ratio is closer to the result ratio.

Students will use the design process to create a new pair of shoes.  Students will use multiplication to find the area and/or perimeter of their design.

Students design two possible enclosures for a zoo animal with an area of 40 square meters and tell which enclosure they think would be most suitable for the zoo animal students chose.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about using real maps (english lengths and distances).

CK-12's Elementary Math Grade 3 is a series of videos and interactive videos designed to teach basic math concepts to 3rd graders. Concepts covered include Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Place Value, Decimals, Time, Factors and Multiples, Money, Measurement, and Geometry.

In this activity students practice measuring techniques by measuring different objects and distances around the classroom. They practice using different scales of measurement in metric units and estimation.

In “Backyard Makeover”, students will take the role of a backyard designer. They will learn how to use area and perimeter to design a new backyard. Students will decide on what items to include in their design. Students will submit a design for their “Backyard Makeover.”

In this lesson, students will investigate and use the formulas for area and perimeter of rectangles.

In this lesson, students learn to solve multiplicative comparison word problems by applying the area and perimeter formulas.

In this lesson, students demonstrate understanding of area and perimeter formulas by solving multi-step real world problems.

In this lesson, students will create and determine the area of composite figures.

In this lesson, students will create and determine the area of composite figures.

Students develop an understanding of air pressure by using candy or cookie wafers to model how it changes with altitude, by comparing its magnitude to gravitational force per unit area, and by observing its magnitude with an aluminum can crushing experiment.
