This resource is intended for students to work with a partner to determine equivalent fractions to find the sum. Students need to have a background knowledge of connecting fractions and decimals, along with equivalent fractions prior to this activity. It may be helpful to have each row be printed on different colored paper, so it may help organize their thinking.

For this task, students explain why 6/10 = 6/100 and draw a picture to illustrate their explanation.

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. 

Commercial fishing nets often trap "unprofitable" animals in the process of catching target species. In this activity, students experience the difficulty that fishermen experience while trying to isolate a target species when a variety of sea animals are found in the area of interest. Then the class discusses the large magnitude of this problem. Students practice data acquisition and analysis skills by collecting data and processing it to deduce trends on target species distribution. They conclude by discussing how bycatch impacts their lives and whether or not it is an important environmental issue that needs attention. As an extension, students use their creativity and innovative skills to design nets or other methods, theoretically and/or through hands-on prototyping, that fisherman could use to help avoid bycatch.

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.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about completing a decimal place value chart up to hundredths.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about completing a decimal place value chart to tenths.

For this online interactive, students convert decimals to fraction form. Students have the option to skip the problem or check their answer before submitting it. Their progress is tracked and shown above each problem.

This is a Google Slide lesson presentation of a student centered task where students practice decimal notation for fractions and comparing decimal fractions.  An activating activity is included.  

As students delve deeper into their investigations with decimals, this task highlights that the placement of the numbers can be more important than the value of the digits. Just as students use place value drawings in the lower grades to familiarize themselves with ones, tens, and hundreds, fifth graders can gain develop understanding of the decimal places through this task.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of - equivalent decimals ending in zero.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview - hundredths.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders an overview - hundredths.
