Standard(s) Taught

MATH:     MA.4.FR.2.2      MA.4.AR.1.2     MA. 4.FR.2.1    

  • Add and subtract fractions with like denominators, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one, with procedural reliability.
  • Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one.
  • Decompose a fraction, including mixed numbers and fractions greater than one, into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in multiple ways. Demonstrate each decomposition with objects, drawings and equations.

SCIENCE:   SC.4. P.10.2

  • Investigate and describe that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change.
Learning Targets and Learning Criteria

The student will:

  • Write a fraction as a sum of unit fractions.
  • Represent mixed numbers as a fraction.
  • Add and subtract fractions with like denominators.
  • Solve problems using fractions and mixed numbers.
  • Investigate and describe how energy can cause motion (e.g., moving water can turn a water wheel to make hydropower, wind can move sand across the beach or sail a model boat, solar energy can power a model car).
  • Investigate and describe how energy can create change in matter (e.g., heat energy can melt ice, moving water can make rocks smooth, light can keep food warm).
  • Explain the relationship between energy and motion.
