Big Ideas Analyzing and interpreting experiments in data probability develops an understanding of chance. Mathematics 4 No CCG
Keyword: data Elaboration: Data and Probability: Analyzing data and chance enables us to compare and interpret.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:How is the probability of an event determined and described?What events in our lives are left to chance?How do probability experiments help us understand chance?
Big Ideas Polygons are closed shapes with similar attributes that can be described, measured, and compared. Mathematics 4 No CCG
Keyword: attributes Elaboration: Geometry and Measurement: We can describe, measure, and compare spatial relationships.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:How are these polygons alike and different?How can we measure polygons?How do the properties of shapes contribute to buildings and design?
Big Ideas Regular changes in patterns can be identified and represented using tools and tables. Mathematics 4 No CCG
Keyword: patterns Elaboration: Patterning: We use patterns to represent identified regularities and to make generalizations.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:What regularities can you identify in these patterns?Where do we see patterns in the world around us?How can we represent increasing and decreasing regularities that we see in number patterns?How do tables and charts help us understand number patterns?
Big Ideas Development of computational fluency and multiplicative thinking requires analysis of patterns and relations in multiplication and division. Mathematics 4 No CCG
Keyword: fluency Elaboration: Computational Fluency: Computational fluency develops from a strong sense of number.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:What is the relationship between multiplication and division?What patterns in our number system connect to our understanding of multiplication?How does fluency with basic multiplication facts (e.g., 2x, 3x, 5x) help us compute more complex multiplication facts?
Big Ideas Fractions and decimals are types of numbers that can represent quantities. Mathematics 4 No CCG
Keyword: numbers Elaboration: Number: Number represents and describes quantity.Sample questions to support inquiry with students:What is the relationship between fractions and decimals?How are these fractions (e.g., 1/2 and 7/8) alike and different?How do we use fractions and decimals in our daily life?What stories live in numbers?How do numbers help us communicate and think about place?How do numbers help us communicate and think about ourselves?
