4th Grade Unit 4 Multiplication and Division
Math
Unit Overview
Students apply their understanding of mathematical models for multiplication (equal sized groups, arrays, area models) and division. Students
form a relationship of division to multiplication. Students develop, discuss and use efficient accurate and generalize methods to compute
products of multi-digit whole numbers and procedures to find quotients involving multi-digit dividends.

problems using equations with a
letter standing for the unknown
quantity.
I can interpret multistep word
problems (including problems in
which remainders must be
interpreted) and determine the

4.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.2 Compare two
fractions with different
numerators and different
denominators, e.g. 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
<, >, =, and justify the
conclusion, e.g. by using a
visual fraction model.
even though the two fractions
themselves are the same size. (Ex:
Use fraction strips to show why
½=2/4=3/6=4/8.
I can use visual fraction models to
show why fractions are equivalent.
(ex: ¾ = 6/8)
I can generate equivalent fractions
using visual fraction models and
explain why they can be called
“equivalent”.
I can recognize fractions as being
greater than, less than, or equal
to other fractions.
I can record comparison results
with symbols: <, >, =.
I can use benchmark fractions
such as ½ for comparison
purposes.

parts of the same whole.
I can compare two fractions with
different numerators, e.g. by
comparing to a benchmark

I can compare two fractions with
different denominators, e.g. by
creating common denominators,
or by comparing to a benchmark
fraction such as ½.
