MATH: MAFS.4.NBT.2.5 – Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. – Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models. SCIENCE: SC.4.E.6.2 – Identify the physical properties of common earth-forming minerals including hardness, color, luster, cleavage, and streak color. – Recognize the role of minerals in the formation of rocks. |
| Learning Targets and Learning Criteria |
The student will: – Use manipulatives or drawings of rectangular arrays and/or array models to solve and explain multi-digit multiplication problems – Apply an understanding of rectangular arrays and area models to connect to the partial products strategy. – Identify the physical properties of common earth-forming minerals, including hardness, color, luster, cleavage, and streak color. – Investigate and record the physical properties of minerals using technology and tools when appropriate (for hardness you may use a glass plate or other minerals; for streak color you may use a streak plate or unglazed tile). – Explain that investigations of minerals do not always follow the scientific method but do involve the use of observations and evidence. – Compare observations made by other classmates explaining any differences in data. – Compare minerals based on physical properties. – Explain the role of minerals (clay, quartz, feldspar, calcite, talc, pyrite, graphite, and mica) and their importance in rock formation (i.e.: 2 or more minerals make up a rock). |
