Strand: OPERATIONS AND ALGEBRAIC THINKING (4.OA)

Use the four operations with whole numbers (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to solve problems (Standards 4.OA.1-3). Gain familiarity with factors and multiples (Standard 4.OA.4). Generate and analyze numeric and shape patterns (Standard 4.OA.5).

Standard 4.OA.4

Find 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.

• Factor Trail Game
  In this lesson students will practice identifying the integer factors of numbers up to 100.
• Factors
  This lesson is designed to help students understand factors of whole numbers.
• Finding Factors
  This lesson plan's activities give students practice in finding the factors of whole numbers.
• Grade 4 Mathematics Module 3: Multi-Digit Multiplication and Division
  In this 43-day module, students use place value understanding and visual representations to solve multiplication and division problems with multi-digit numbers. As a key area of focus for Grade 4, this module moves slowly but comprehensively to develop students' ability to reason about the methods and models chosen to solve problems with multi-digit factors and dividends.
• Grade 4 Unit 2: Multiplication and Division of Whole Numbers (Georgia Standards)
  In this unit students will solve multi-step problems using the four operations, use estimation to solve multiplication and division problems, find factors and multiples, identify prime and composite numbers and generate patterns.
• Identifying Multiples
  Students are given a multiplication table for single digit numbers and asked to color all numbers with specific multiples. The goal of this task is to work on finding multiples of some whole numbers.
• Multiples of 3, 6, and 7
  This task investigates divisibility properties for the numbers 3, 6, and 7. Students first make a list of multiples of 3 and then investigate this list further, looking for multiples of 6 and 7.
• Numbers in a Multiplication Table
  The goal of this task is to encourage students to study the multiplication table, a familiar object, from a novel point of view. The table shows some, but not necessarily all, factorizations of different numbers. Working through the table to see where different numbers appear, the students will have a good opportunity to observe the symmetry of the table which comes from the commutative property of multiplication.
• Operations and Algebraic Thinking (4.OA) - Fourth Grade Core Guide
  The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) and educators around the state of Utah developed these guides for Fourth Grade Mathematics - Operations and Algebraic Thinking (4.OA)
• Sets and the Venn Diagram
  This lesson is designed to help students understand the ideas surrounding sets and Venn diagrams.
• The Locker Game
  The purpose of this instructional task is for students to deepen their understanding of factors and multiples of whole numbers.
