Here is a copy of the Grade 4 FSA Mathematics Reference Sheet. Students will be given a copy the day of the test, but they should be familiar with it beforehand.

Grade 4 FSA Mathematics Reference Sheet

4th Grade Math FSA Assessment

 

Currently we are preparing to take the 4th Grade Math FSA.

We are scheduled to take the test on Monday, May 6 and Tuesday, May 7.

 

Here is some information about the upcoming State Test:

Types of questions:

• Multiple Choice: Select one answer
• Multi-Select: More than one answer should be chosen
• Two Part: Two questions pertaining to the same topic
• Gridded Response: Write and bubble the responses on a grid

Helping Your Child:

• Help your child to realize that it is important to do their best every day, as well as on the FSA
• Review homework with your child
• Help your child practice the skills they are learning in reallife situations so that the skills have meaning beyond the tests and the classroom
• Help your child get a good night’s sleep, eat a nutritious breakfast, and arrive on time to school

Measurement

Essential Questions:

• How can I convert measurements to larger or smaller units within the same measurement system?
• How are measurements related within the metric system?
• How are measurements related within the customary system?
• How can I use a two-column chart to record and convert measurements within the same system?
• How can I solve real world measurement problems?
• How can diagrams help me solve real world measurement problems?

In this unit, students will be able to:

• Convert within the same metric units of measurement: kilometer (km), meter (m), millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm), liter (l), milliliter (ml).
• Convert within the same customary units of measurement: pound (lb), ounce (oz), foot (ft), inch (in), hour (hr), minute (min), second (sec).
• Use a two-column chart to convert from larger to smaller units and smaller to larger units then record equivalent measurements.
• Use all four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals.
• Use diagrams (e.g., linear model) to solve word problems.

 

Vocabulary

Cup - A customary unit used to measure liquid volume.

Fluid Ounce - The smalles customary unit for measuring liquid volume.

Pint - A customary unit used to measure liquid volume.

Quart - A customary unit used to measure liquid volume.

Gallon - A customary unit used to measure liquid volume

Liter - A metric unit used to measure liquid volume.

Meter - A metric unit used to measure length or distance.

Ton - A customary unit used to measure weight.

Pound - A customary unit used to measure weight.

Ounce - A customary unit used to measure weight.

 

 

We are currently working on area and perimeter.

Students will learn and use the formulas this year.

Area = Length x Width

Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)

 

 

Here are some videos about area and perimeter:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

Find the area of a composite triangle. 

In this unit, students will learn:

• the value of tenths and hundredths 
• a number can be represented as both a fraction and a decimal (.1 =1/10 or .32 = 32/100)
• decimal notation (write numbers in standard form 0.62)
• comparisons are valid only when two decimals refer to the same whole
• Compare decimals using visual models and symbols.
• Add two fractions with unlike denominators of 10 and 100

Adding and subtracting mixed numbers can be tricky. Check out these videos to help you out!

 

 

 

 

 

These videos are about Renaming Mixed Numbers and Fractions.

 

This video is about the types of fractions and what exactly a "mixed number" is....

 

 

Here is how we "rename" fractions and mixed numbers.....

 

 

 

 

 

Essential Questions:

• How do adding and subtracting fractions help me in everyday life?
• How can I join fractions with like denominators?
• How can I separate fractions with like denominators?
• How can I convert a fraction greater than 1 into a mixed number?
• How can I add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators?
• How can I represent unit fractions in a line plot?
• How can I add and subtract fractions found in a line plot?

In this unit, students will be able to:

• Join (compose) fractions of the same whole
• Separate (decompose) fractions of the same whole in various ways (e.g.
• Justify decompositions (e.g., by using a visual fraction model).
• Convert a fraction greater than one (formerly referred to as an improper fraction) into a sum of a whole number and a number less than one
• Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators using various strategies (e.g., replacing each number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction).
• Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with like denominators (e.g., by using visual
  fraction models and equations to represent the problem.

Finding common denominators is very important when working with fractions. It helps us compare, add, and subtract fractions.
