Strand: NUMBER AND OPERATIONS IN BASE TEN (4.NBT)

Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers by analyzing patterns, writing whole numbers in a variety of ways, making comparisons, and rounding (Standards 4.NBT.1-3). Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multidigit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using a one-digit divisor (Standards 4.NBT.4-6). Expectations in this strand are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Standard 4.NBT.6

Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

• Arithmetic Four
  In this game for two players, students solve problems involving whole number and integer addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
• 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.
• Mental Division Strategy
  The task presents the scenario where Jillian says "I know that 20 times 7 is 140 and if I take away 2 sevens that leaves 126. So 126 ÷ 7 = 18." Students must then respond to this statement by answering if she's correct, drawing a picture showing her reasoning and using that method to solve another problem.
• Number and Operations in Base Ten (4.NBT) - 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 - Number and Operations in Base Ten (4.NBT)
• Order of Operations Four
  This applet pits two players against each other in solving expressions using the four basic operations.
• Reasoning About Division
  The Common Core allows students to get a better understanding of Math concepts and skills, including division. This Teaching Channel video shows how you can teach reasoning about division in your classroom. (7 min.)
• To Regroup or Not to Regroup
  This task presents an incomplete problem and asks students to choose numbers to subtract (subtrahends) so that the resulting problem requires different types of regrouping.
