Social Studies:

SS.4.2
NATIVE AMERICAN GROUPS AND THE ENVIRONMENT: Native American groups, chiefly the Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) and Algonquian-speaking groups, inhabited the region that became New York. Native American Indians interacted with the environment and developed unique cultures.

SS.4.3.b.2
Student will investigate colonial life under the Dutch and the English, examining the diverse origins of the people living in the colony.

SS.4.6.a.1
Students will examine why people began to move west in New York State.

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.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.

Mathematics: Number and Operations and Base Ten

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.

4.NBT.2
Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

4.NBT.3
Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.

4.NBT.4
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

4.NBT.5
Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

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.
