The standards (our summaries)
Utah's official codes with our own short summaries (not the official wording). Each code links to the official document.
Operations and Algebraic Thinking (4.OA)
- 4.OA.1 Read 35 = 5 × 7 as a comparison (35 is five times 7) and write comparison statements as equations.
- 4.OA.2 Solve word problems with multiplicative comparison, telling it apart from additive comparison.
- 4.OA.3 Solve multistep whole-number word problems with the four operations, interpreting remainders.
- 4.OA.4 Find all factor pairs of a number from 1 to 100, decide if it is a multiple of a one-digit number, and decide if it is prime or composite.
- 4.OA.5 Create a number or shape pattern from a rule and spot features of the pattern that the rule does not state.
Number and Operations in Base Ten (4.NBT)
- 4.NBT.1 Know that in a whole number a digit is worth ten times what it would be worth one place to the right.
- 4.NBT.2 Read and write multi-digit whole numbers in numerals, words and expanded form and compare them using >, = and <.
- 4.NBT.3 Use place value to round a multi-digit whole number to the nearest ten, hundred, thousand or any other place.
- 4.NBT.4 Add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers fluently with the standard algorithm.
- 4.NBT.5 Multiply up to four digits by one digit and two digits by two digits with place-value strategies, explained with equations, arrays or area models.
- 4.NBT.6 Divide up to four-digit numbers by one-digit numbers, with remainders, using place-value strategies and explaining with equations, arrays or area models.
Number and Operations—Fractions (4.NF)
- 4.NF.1 Use models to explain why a/b equals (n × a)/(n × b) and use this to recognize and make equivalent fractions.
- 4.NF.2 Compare fractions with different numerators and denominators using common denominators or benchmarks such as 1/2; record with >, = or <.
- 4.NF.3 Understand a fraction a/b (a > 1) as several unit fractions 1/b added together.
- a. See adding and subtracting fractions as joining and separating parts of the same whole.
- b. Break a fraction into a sum of same-denominator fractions in more than one way and justify with models.
- c. Add and subtract mixed numbers that have the same denominator.
- d. Solve word problems adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators.
- 4.NF.4 Extend earlier work on multiplication to multiply fractions by whole numbers.
- 4.NF.5 Rewrite tenths as hundredths and add fractions with denominators 10 and 100.
- 4.NF.6 Write fractions with denominators 10 or 100 as decimals and place them on a number line.
- 4.NF.7 Compare decimals to hundredths by reasoning about size, for the same whole, recording with >, = or <.
Measurement and Data (4.MD)
- 4.MD.1 Know the relative sizes of units in one system (metric length and mass, pounds and ounces, liters, time) and convert larger units to smaller ones.
- 4.MD.2 Solve word problems with the four operations about distance, time, liquid volume, mass and money.
- 4.MD.3 Use rectangle area and perimeter formulas in real-world and math problems.
- 4.MD.4 Make line plots of measurements in halves, quarters and eighths and solve fraction problems from them.
- 4.MD.5 Recognize angles as shapes made by two rays with a shared endpoint and understand how angles are measured.
- 4.MD.6 Measure angles in whole degrees with a protractor and sketch angles of a given size.
- 4.MD.7 Know angle measure is additive and solve problems with it.
Geometry (4.G)
Standards for Mathematical Practice (apply to every grade)
Standards for Mathematical Practice
- MP.1 Make sense of problems and keep going until they are solved. (being checked)
- MP.2 Reason with quantities both abstractly (symbols) and in context.
- MP.3 Build sound arguments and evaluate the reasoning of others.
- MP.4 Use mathematics to model real situations.
- MP.5 Choose and use tools wisely.
- MP.6 Be precise in language, symbols, units and calculation.
- MP.7 Look for structure and use it.
- MP.8 Notice repeated reasoning and turn it into general methods.
Tests and key dates
- RISE (Readiness Improvement Success Empowerment) – ELA and math
- Utah Aspire Plus (grades 9–10) and ACT (grade 11)
