4.OA: Operations and Algebraic Thinking

1.1: Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.

4.OA.1: Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, (e.g., interpret 35 = 5 x 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5.) Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.

4.OA.3: Solve multi-step word problem posed with whole numbers and having whole number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using situation equations and/or solution equations with a letter or symbol standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

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

Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with relational symbols >, <, =, or not equal to, and justify the conclusions, (e.g., by using visual fraction models.).
