Grade 4Operations and Algebraic Thinking.

Represent and solve multiplicative comparison word problems with drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem

Represent and solve one-step and two-step word problems with whole numbers using all the four operations, including problems with remainders. Use estimation, equations and rounding in solving the problems. Use a variety of models, including strip diagrams and equations with a letter standing for the unknown.

Represent and solve word problems about factors.

Represent and solve pattern problems. Use an input-output table.

Represent and solve word problems involving the product of two 2-digit numbers using arrays, area models or equations, (*including perfect squares through 15 by 15)

.
