Standards eligible for current Grade 4 forms

• NY-3.G.1: Recognize and classify polygons based on the number of sides and vertices (triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons). Identify shapes that do not belong to one of the given subcategories.
• NY-3.MD.3: Draw a scaled picture graph and a scaled bar graph to represent a data set with several categories. Solve one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many less” problems using information presented in a scaled picture graph or a scaled bar graph.
• NY-3.MD.4: Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units—whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
• NY-3.MD.8a: Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given the side lengths or finding one unknown side length given the perimeter and other side lengths.
• NY-3.MD.8b: Identify rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or with the same area and different perimeters.
• NY-4.G.1: Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
• NY-4.G.2a: Identify and name triangles based on angle size (right, obtuse, acute).
• NY-4.G.2b: Identify and name all quadrilaterals with 2 pairs of parallel sides as parallelograms.
• NY-4.G.2c: Identify and name all quadrilaterals with four right angles as rectangles.
• NY-4.G.3: Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
• NY-4.MD.3: Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems.
• NY-4.MD.4: Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit � 1 2 , 1 4 , 1 8�. Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions by using information presented in line plots.
• NY-4.MD.5a: Recognize an angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1 360 of a circle is called a “one- degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
• NY-4.MD.5b: Recognize an angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.
• NY-4.MD.6: Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure.
• NY-4.MD.7: Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non -overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical problems.
• NY-4.NBT.1: Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right.
• NY-4.NBT.2a: Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
• NY-4.NBT.2b: Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
• NY-4.NBT.3: Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.
• NY-4.NBT.4: Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using a standard algorithm.
• NY-4.NBT.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.
• NY-4.NBT.6: Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
• NY-4.NF.1: Explain why a fraction 𝑎𝑎 𝑏𝑏 is equivalent to a fraction 𝑎𝑎 × 𝑛𝑛 𝑏𝑏 × 𝑛𝑛 by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
• NY-4.NF.2: Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators.
• NY-4.NF.3a: Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.
• NY-4.NF.3b: Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation. Justify decompositions.
• NY-4.NF.3c: Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators. e.g., replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction
• NY-4.NF.3d: Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators.
• NY-4.NF.4a: Understand a fraction 𝑎𝑎 𝑏𝑏 as a multiple of 1 𝑏𝑏. e.g., Use a visual fraction model to represent 5 4 as the product 5 × 1 4, recording the conclusion with the equation 5 4 = 5 × 1 4.
• NY-4.NF.4b: Understand a multiple of 𝑎𝑎 𝑏𝑏 as a multiple of 1 𝑏𝑏, and use this understanding to multiply a whole number by a fraction.
• NY-4.NF.4c: Solve word problems involving multiplication of a whole number by a fraction.
• NY-4.OA.1: Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
• NY-4.OA.2: Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison. Use drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
• NY-4.OA.3a: Represent these problems using equations or expressions with a letter standing for the unknown quantity.
• NY-4.OA.3b: Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
• NY-4.OA.4: Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1–100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1 –100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite.
• NY-4.OA.5: Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify and informally explain apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself.
