Number and Operations — Fractions4.NF

  • 1.

    Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) 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.4.NF.1

    Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, for example, by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as ½. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, for example, by using a visual fraction model.4.NF.2

  • 3.

    Understand a fraction a/b with a >1 as a sum of fractions 1/b. In other words, any fraction is a sum of unit fractions.4.NF.3

    1. a.

      Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.4.NF.3.a

    Know relative sizes of measurement units within each system of units (standard and metric), including kilometers, meters, and centimeters; liters and milliliters; kilograms and grams; pounds and ounces; hours, minutes, and seconds. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table.4.MD.1

  • 5.

    Recognize angles as geometric figures that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement.4.MD.5

    1. a.

      Understand that 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 other angles.4.MD.5.a

    2. b.

      Understand that an angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.4.MD.5.b

  • 6.

  • 7.

    Recognize angle measure as additive.4.MD.7

    1. a.

Geometry4.G
