Social Studies:

SS.4.1
GEOGRAPHY OF NEW YORK STATE: New York State has a diverse geography. Various maps can be used to represent and examine the geography of New York State.

SS.4.1.a
Physical and thematic maps can be used to explore New York State’s diverse geography.

SS.4.1.a.1
Students will be able to identify and map New York State’s major physical features including mountains, plateaus, rivers, lakes, and large bodies of water such as the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island Sound.

Science:

MST1.E.SI

Language Arts: Reading

RL.4.1
Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.

RL.4.2
Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text; summarize the text.

RL.4.3
Describe in depth a character, setting, or event in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e.g., a character's thoughts, words, or actions).

Language Arts: Writing

W.4.2
Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.

W.4.8
Recall relevant information from experiences or gather relevant information from print and digital sources; take notes and categorize information, and provide a list of sources.

W.4.9
Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.

Language Arts: Speaking and Listening

SL.4.1
Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher led) with diverse partners on grade 4 topics and texts, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly.

Language Arts: Language

L.4.3
Use knowledge of language and its conventions when writing, speaking, reading, or listening.

Mathematics: Counting and Cardinality
There are no standards currently aligned to this resource.
Mathematics: Operations and Algebraic Thinking

4.OA.1
Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 * 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.

4.OA.2
Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative comparison from additive comparison.

4.OA.3
Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

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.

4.OA.5
Generate 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.

Mathematics: Number and Operations and Base Ten

4.OA.1
Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 * 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.

4.NBT.1
Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 / 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
