Grade 4
Grade 4 consolidates. Multiplication facts are expected to be known rather than derived, fractions and decimals meet, and measurement becomes something to calculate. Writing is where the year shows most: paragraphs, planning, and drafts that get revised rather than recopied.
Mathematics
Multi-Digit Multiplication and Division
Multiply up to four digits by one digit, divide with remainders, and use place value to explain why it works.
Decimal Notation for Fractions
Write fractions with denominators of 10 and 100 as decimals, and compare decimals to hundredths.
Science
Energy and Energy Transfer
Link how fast something moves to how much energy it carries, and trace energy on the move through collisions, light, sound, heat and electric currents.
English Language Arts
Opinion Writing
Write an opinion piece that states a point of view, groups reasons logically and links them with transitional words.
Social Studies
Geography, Maps and Regions

Technology and Computer Science
Algorithms and Programming
