August Overview Standards and DOK Success Criteria Teacher Notes
MAFS.4.OA.2.4: DOK 2Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1–100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1–100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1–100 is prime or composite.
I can create arrays to find all the factor pairs of a given whole number. I can identify whether a number is prime or composite. I can explain the difference between a prime number and a composite
number. I can describe a process to finding factor pairs. I can show and explain the difference between a factor and a multiple. I can explain the relationship between skip counting and finding
multiples. I can describe the patterns I see in the numbers when I skip count to find
multiples.
Provide a multiplication table for each student. Look for patterns in the multiples. Color multiples on a hundreds chart and discuss patterns
in the design created.
MAFS.4.OA.3.5: DOK 2Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule. Identify apparent features of the pattern that were not explicit in the rule itself.For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 1, Generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.
When given a pattern, I can describe what is happening and extend it. I can generate a number or shape pattern from a given rule.
I can convert measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit (minutes to seconds, yards to inches, etc.)
I can create a two-column table to show my measurement conversions. I can describe the relative size of a unit. I can explain the relationship between the size of the unit and the
number of units needed.
Notice that the Standards do not require students to infer or guess the underlying rule for a pattern, but rather ask them to generate a pattern from a given rule and identify features of the given pattern (seeing patterns in the terms such as even/odd, etc.)

MAFS.4.NF.1.1: DOK 3Explain 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.
MAFS.4.NF.1.2: DOK 2Compare 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 1/2. 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, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.
I can define equivalent fractions. I can explain what happens to a fraction when you break into more equal pieces. I can represent equivalent fractions using area models.

I can explain how the expression (n x a) / (n x b) works to write an equivalent fraction. I can describe how the numerator and denominator are affected when and equivalent
fraction is created and relate it to the Identity Property of Multiplication. I can describe the patterns created when making a set of equivalent fractions. I can explain how a multiplication table can be used to find equivalent fractions. When comparing fractions, I can explain and show what happens to the size of the
fractions when the denominators remain the same and the numerator changes. When comparing fractions, I can explain and show what happens to the size of the
fractions when the numerators remain the same and the denominators change. I can compare fractions with the same numerator by explaining how the size of the
parts affect the fraction. I can compare fractions with the same denominator by explaining how the number of
pieces affects its size. I can explain and show why it is important to compare fractions with the same size
whole. I can describe how benchmark fractions help me compare fractions. I can use the benchmarks of 0,1/2, and 1 to compare two fractions. I can write a number sentence using the symbols >, <, and = to compare two fractions. When comparing fractions, I can create two equivalent fractions to help me compare.
Use pattern blocks, circle models, fraction bars, and number lines to find equivalent fractions.
MAFS.4.NF.2.3: DOK 2Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b.
a. Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions, and Multiplying a Whole Number by a Fraction
Manipulatives and Visual Models for all!Use word problems to introduce:
Add and subtract fractions with like denominators by using visual models (number lines, area models) and equationsDecompose fractions into its parts (6/4 = 4/4 + 2/4 or 1 and 2/4) (make sure to include fractions greater than one and mixed numbers for students to rename)Add and subtract mixed fractions by decomposing fractions (using understandings of fractions greater than one) by using visual models (number lines, area models) and equationsMake a line plot to display data of measurement in fractions of a unit (1/2, ¼, 1/8) and solve addition and subtraction problems by using information in the line plot. Relate addition (groups x how many in a group) and subtraction (decomposing) to multiplication (whole number x fraction) by using repeated addition and showing my answer on a number line.

Symmetry is a fold along a line that creates matching parts.Students need lots of practice folding shapes to find the line symmetry. All regular polygons have multiple lines of symmetry based on the amount of sides in the shape. Students should experience that.

4th Grade Guide to Plan for Success
Standards and DOK Success Criteria Teacher NotesDraw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
I can identify the number of line segments, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and types of angles when given shapes.
I can describe how polygons are created using terms like line segments, parallel and perpendicular lines, acute, obtuse and right angles.
I can draw given shapes using a ruler when given information such as number of line segments, parallel lines, perpendicular lines, or type of angles. (obtuse, right, or acute)
I can create a new shape from a given shape by cutting through it at any point and describing how the attributes of the shape change.
MAFS.4.G.1.2: DOK 2Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
I can classify shapes based on types of angles, parallel lines, or perpendicular lines. I can identify the different types of triangles based on the size of the line segments and the
type of angles. (right isosceles; right scalene; equilateral, obtuse isosceles, obtuse scalene etc…)
I can cut squares and rectangles on the diagonal to make different types of triangles and describe the attributes of each one.
MAFS.4.G.1.3: DOK 2Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
I can explain what line symmetry is. I can fold shapes to determine the number of lines of symmetry in given shapes. I can describe how to find the lines of symmetry. I can identify lines of symmetry when given a shape. I can give examples symmetry in the real world and justify my reasoning.
MAFS.4.MD.3.5: DOK 1Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
a. 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 angles.
I can model and explain how an angle is formed by connecting two rays at a common endpoint.
I can explain how to look at the size of an angle based on the benchmarks 0°, 90°, and 180° of a 360° circle.
I can describe the relationship between an angle’s measure and the 360° that make up a circle.

Standards and DOK Success Criteria Teacher Notesb. An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to
have an angle measure of n degrees.MAFS.4.MD.3.6: DOK 2Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure.
I can estimate the measure of an angle using the benchmark angles of 0°, 90°, and 180° and justify my estimate.
I can accurately measure angles with a protractor and explain why my measurement makes sense.
I can create a given angle measurement using a ruler and a protractor.
MAFS.4.MD.3.7: DOK 2Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle measure.
I can determine a missing angles measure when an angle is decomposed into separate no-overlapping angles and justify with an equation.
When given a real-world scenario involving angle measure, I can solve for the unknown and justify my reasoning.
Example story problem:Joey knows that when a clock’s hands are exactly on 12 and 1, the angle formed by the clock’s hands measures 30°. What is the measure of the angle formed when a clock’s hands are exactly on the 12 and 4?
MAFS.4.MD.1.2: DOK 2Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
I can draw a model to show my thinking process and the steps I use to solve the measurement problem.
I can draw an open number line model to show my thinking when given a problem that relates to intervals of time.
I can explain what I know about measuring the mass of an object to show how I solve a problem that relates to mass.
I can explain what I know about measuring liquid volume to show how I solve a problem that relates to capacity.
I can draw and model how to solve a problem that relates to distance by explaining how the size of the units needed to measure will affect my answer.
This standard will continue throughout every month throughout the year.
Great opportunity to reinforce what you are doing in science when you are measuring distance, mass, and capacity.
Use problems that relate to simple fractions or decimals that are tenths or hundredths.
Use real-life measurement things:Buying deli meat, gas, money, gymnastic scores, etc.
