This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important asects of the task and its potential use. Here are the first few lines of the commentary for this task: What fraction of the rectangle below is shaded? Laura says that $\frac14$ of the rectangle is shaded. Do you think she is correct? Explain why or why n...

This parent guide supports parents in helping their child at home with the 4th grade Math content.

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. 

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) videos are designed to support states, schools, and teachers in the implementation of selected math standards. Each video is an audiovisual resource that focuses on one or more specific standards through examples and illustrations geared to enhancing understanding. The intent of each content-focused video is to clarify the meaning of the individual standard rather than to be a guide on how to teach each standard, although the examples can be adapted for instructional use.

Students will apply fourth grade concepts of equivalent fractions, decimals, and symmetry to create artwork. Once all students have created their masterpieces, they will have a conversation to compare and contrast the various pieces.  Through teacher questioning, this conversation will lead to a deeper understanding of equivalent fractions and decimal fractions.  This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

Students explore equivalent fractions using a game. Using a deck of cards, students pick a fraction and initial a brick. Play continues until one students has initial 5 rows of bricks.

In this lesson plan, students complete a coloring activity and practice where like fractions are actually used in real-life situations. Problem solving involves using fractions with common denominators utilizing think, solve, and explain format.

Students will apply fourth grade concepts of fractions to develop a planned community that meets specific requirements.  Throughout this task, students will need to think about fractions as part of a set and part of a whole area.  The will compare fractions, find fraction equivalences, and add fractions with unlike denominators to ensure that the sum is one whole.  Once all students have created the maps of their communities, they will have discussion to compare and contrast the fractional parts of each person’s community.  This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

The student will participate in a hands-on-lesson where they will understand and be able to write equivalent forms of fractions. The students will learn and apply the concept of using fractions in everyday life.

In this game students practice equivalent fractions while playing Bingo. The game has two modes: Easy mode of play displays a pie graphic to represent the fraction. The denominator is represented by the total number of slices and the numerator is represented by the colored slices.

Challenge mode displays only the numerical fraction at first. If the student needs help it will introduce a pie graphic representing only the denominator. If they need further help it will display the shaded slices representing the numerator.

The math learning center is an app and online platform that allows students to use manipulatives virtually. In this activity, students will show equivalent fractions using lines and shapes.

In this lesson students learn to create equivalent fractions between fifths and tenths (and then some other denominators) as a means to compare fractions of like denominators.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with an opportunity to explain fraction equivalence through visual models in a particular example.

Sample Learning Goals
Make equivalent fractions using different numbers
Match fractions in different picture patterns
Compare fractions on a number line

This unit is for an EC pull-put sixth grade math class. Students will represent the same value as a fraction, decimal, and percentage as they label each continent on a map with the percentage of the world's population in each continent, based on information from the book, "If the World Were a Village." Students will discuss the distribution of populations around the globe and how that impacts those areas of the world differently.This lesson was developed by Virginia Campbell as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.            

This unit is for an EC pull-put sixth grade math class. Students have a discussion connecting their lives to the globe. They then discuss the concept of scale as it relates to maps/globes and the book "If the World Were a Village." Finally they use a graphic organizer to predict what the book is going to tell them about the people of the world.This lesson was developed by Virginia Campbell as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.

This unit is for an EC pull-put sixth grade math class. Students present their poster projects to the class, and then write a reflection responding to the unit.This lesson was developed by Virginia Campbell as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.            

This unit is for an EC pull-put sixth grade math class. Teacher will model how to create a pie chart using data from the book, "If the World Were a Village." Then the class will create a pie chart together as guided practice. The class will draw conclusions about peoples' different experiences and perspectives from the data in the chart. The teacher will introduce the poster project to the students, and they will select a set of data from the book to create their own pie chart with. This lesson was developed by Virginia Campbell as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program.
