4th Grade i-Ready Classroom Mathematics
What is the sequence of my fourth grader's learning?
4th Grade Mathematics Scope & Sequence Quarter 1 Quarter 2 Quarter 3 Quarter 4 Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb March April May June DMM Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 4 Unit 5 Developing Mathematical Mindsets
Becoming a confident learner and doer of mathematics begins first with believing we are capable, that mistakes are essential to developing depth of understanding, and that most often our highest level work happens through collaboration with others.

Standards for Mathematical Practice
The eight standards for mathematical practice describe the “know-how” or habits of mind that we seek to develop in students. These practices define important methods and skills that students need to be mathematically proficient.
-
-
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
Students are able to “stick with” problems and will try multiple methods to reach a solution.
-
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Students understand that written numerals represent real world objects and quantities.
-
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Students are able to explain their own mathematical ideas and strategies and they respond to the thinking of others.
-
4. Model with mathematics.
Students represent problem situations in multiple ways including equations, mathematical words, labeled sketches, objects, making a chart, list, or graph.
-
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
Students select the appropriate tools and resources to solve a problem.
-
6. Attend to precision.
Students use detailed and accurate mathematical vocabulary to communicate mathematical understandings.
-
7. Look for and make use of structures.
Students notice attributes and structures in mathematics such as: sorts shapes by the number of sides or recognizes that 4 x 7 = 28 and 28 ÷ 7 = 4.
-
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Students notice repetitive actions in computation and look for patterns that support computation: 12 x 5 is the same as 10 x 5 and 2 x 5 to arrive at 60.
