4th Grade Standards Based Report Card Guidance
Mathematics
4=Exceeds
Consistently demonstrates
mastery and/or application of
standard above grade level
3=Meets
Consistently demonstrates mastery of
standard at grade level
*Examples below represent a 3 (meets).
2=Approaching
Sometimes demonstrates
mastery of standard at
grade level
1=Below
Does not demonstrate
mastery of standard at
grade level
Students will be expected to demonstrate proficiency multiple times using similar examples.
Standard
Example
Interpret a multiplication equation
as a comparison using three
numbers (4.OA.1)
Multiply or divide to solve word
problems involving multiplicative
comparison distinguishing from
additive comparison (4.OA.2)
Multiply or divide to solve word problems in which more
than one step may need to be taken to arrive at the
answer. Use drawings and equations as well as symbols for
any unknown number (algebra).
Solve multi-step word problems
posed with whole numbers (and
possibly remainders) using the four
operations (4.OA.3)
Read, write, and compare multidigit whole numbers using baseten numerals, number names, and
expanded form (4.NBT.2)
Use place value understanding to
round multi-digit whole numbers
to any place (4.NBT.3)
Compare two multi-digit numbers using <, >, and =
symbols based on values of the digits in each place.
For example:
3,060 < 3,600
Two-digit numbers that have 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 in the ones place would
round down to the nearest multiple of ten. Two-digit numbers that
have 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 in the ones place would round up to the
nearest multiple of ten. Three-digit numbers that end in 0-49
would round down to the nearest multiple of a hundred. Threedigit numbers that end in 50-99 would round up to the nearest
multiple of a hundred.
Fluently add and subtract multidigit whole numbers using the
standard algorithm (4.NBT.4)
Find, illustrate, and explain whole
number quotients and remainders
with up to four-digit dividends and
one-digit divisors (4.NBT.6)
Divide up to four-digit numbers
(dividend) by one-digit numbers
(divisor). Solve in multiple ways.
Recognize and generate equivalent
fractions (4.NF.1)
Understand and develop strategies
and representations for addition
and subtraction of fractions
(4.NF.3)
The numerator (top number) in a fraction represents the number of parts.
The denominator (bottom number) in a fraction represents the number of parts in a whole.
Create common denominators to compare fractions, as pictured above.
Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the
same whole.
=
Use decimal notation for fractions
with denominators of 10 or 100
(4.NF.6)
Use the four operations to solve
word problems involving distances,
intervals of time, liquid volumes,
masses of objects, and money
(4.MD.2)
Operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication,
division.
Apply the area and perimeter
formulas for rectangles in real
world and mathematical problems
(4.MD.3)
Area = length x width (Ex: 3x6=18 ft)
Perimeter = all four sides added together (Ex: 6+3+6+3=18 ft)
Make a line plot to display a data
set of measurements in fractions
of a unit. Solve problems involving
addition and subtraction of
fractions using information
presented in line plots (4.MD.4)
Draw and identify points, lines, line
segments, rays, angles, and
perpendicular and parallel lines
(4.G.1)
Another example:
From a line plot, find and interpret the
difference in length between the longest and
shortest specimens in an insect collection.
Point
Line
Line segment
Ray
Right angle
Acute angle
Obtuse angle
Perpendicular
Parallel
Classify two-dimensional figures
based on lines and angles, and
recognize and identify right
triangles (4.G.2)
90 degree angle
less than 90 degree angle
greater than 90 degree angle
lines that intersect and form 90 degree angles
lines that are equidistant from each other (never intersect)
