The Focus portion of each lesson introduces new content, designed to help teachers build their students’ conceptual understanding through exploration, engagement, and discussion. The materials include problems that develop conceptual understanding throughout the grade level, especially where called for in the clusters. Examples include:

• Lesson 1-2, Place-Value Concepts, Focus: Math Message, students compare the numbers 46,385 and 463,850 using place value. “Ask students to respond on their slates to the following questions about 46,385 using the place-value chart on Math Masters, page 2 for reference. Which digit is in the hundreds place? What is the value of the digit? Which digit is in the ones place? What is the value of the digit? Which digit is in the ten-thousands place? What is the value of the digit?” Later, students compare and order numbers, “Pose the following problem: Which number is larger, 47,899 or 48,908? Ask: How can we use expanded form to tell which is larger?” Students develop a conceptual understanding of 4.NBT.2, “Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.”

• Lesson 3-1, Equal Sharing and Equivalence, Focus: Math Message, students model equal-sharing situations and examine equivalent names for those models. “Two brothers go to lunch and share three 8-inch pizzas equally. How much pizza does each brother get? Have students share the drawings they used to model and solve the problem.” Within the Math Journal activity, students practice using visual representations of fractions and equal sharing to include subdividing “leftover” pieces to produce fair shares, “Use drawings to help you solve the problems. Solve each problem in more than one way. Show your work. 1. Three friends shared 4 chicken quesadillas equally. How many quesadillas did each friend get?” Students develop conceptual understanding of 4.NF.A, “Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.”

• Lesson 4-3, Partitioning Rectangles, Focus: Partitioning Rectangles to Multiply, Math Journal 1, Problems 1 and 2, students partition rectangles to multiply. “Maya wants to lay tile on a floor that is 8 feet wide by 24 feet long. The tiles she wants to use are 1 square foot each. How many tiles will Maya need? Draw a picture to represent Maya’s floor. Explain how you figure out how many tiles Maya needs.” Students develop a conceptual understanding of 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.”

• Lesson 5-4, Adding Mixed Numbers, Focus: Math Message, students use fraction circles to solve, “Use fraction circles on the Number-Line Poster to solve this problem on your slate. 2\frac{1}{4}=\frac{?}{4}.” Students develop a conceptual understanding of 4.NF.1, “Explain why a fraction \frac{a}{b} is equivalent to a fraction \frac{(n\times a)}{(n\times b)} by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size.”

• Lesson 6-3, Strategies for Division, Focus: Math Message, students use multiples to solve division problems. “Mariana is in charge of seating students for an assembly. Each table seats 6. Seventy-eight students will attend the assembly. How many tables will Mariana need to seat all of the students?” In the Teacher's Lesson Guide, “Invite students to share strategies for solving the problem, discussing the various steps they take. Emphasize the following strategies: Representing the problem concretely, subtracting groups of 6 from 78, and finding multiples of 6. Tell students that today they will use multiples to help find the answers to division problems more efficiently. Pose two more division problems for the class to try. Guide a discussion of how students make sense of the problem and think through solving the problem.” Students develop a conceptual understanding of 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, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division.”

Home Links, Math Boxes, and Practice provide opportunities for students to independently demonstrate conceptual understanding throughout the grade. Examples include:

• Lesson 3-6, Comparing Fractions, Home Link, Problem 1, students compare fractions to solve number stories. “Tenisha and Christa were each reading the same book. Tenisha said she was \frac{3}{4} of the way done with it, and Christa said she was \frac{6}{8} of the way finished. Who has read more, or have they read the same amount?

Materials are designed so that teachers and students spend sufficient time working with engaging applications of the mathematics.

The materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Grade 4 meet expectations for being designed so that teachers and students spend sufficient time working with engaging applications of the mathematics.

Materials include multiple routine and non-routine applications of mathematics throughout the grade level. Focus activities introduce new content, provide routine exercises, review recent learning, and provide challenging problem-solving tasks that help build conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application of mathematics. Open Response lessons provide challenging problems that involve more than one strategy or solution. Home-Links relate to the Focus activity and provide informal mathematics activities for students to do at home. Examples of routine and non-routine applications of the mathematics include:

• Lesson 1-8, Cracking the Muffin Code, Focus: Solving the Open Response Problem, Problem 1, students use patterns to decipher codes in real-world problems. “Marcus takes orders at the Marvelous Muffin Market. The muffins are packed into boxes that hold 27, 9, 3, or 1 muffins. Marcus always fills the largest box first, uses the fewest number of boxes possible, and always sends boxes that are full. When a customer asks for muffins, Marcus fills out an order form. Hints. For an order of 5 muffins, Marcus writes: _ _12. For an order of 19 muffins, Marcus writes: _201. For an order of 34 muffins, Marcus writes: 1021. For an order of 32 muffins, what would Marcus write on the order form? Explain or show how you know.” This activity provides the opportunity for students to apply their understanding of 4.OA.5, “Generate a number or shape pattern that follows a given rule.”

• Lesson 4-2, Making Reasonable Estimates for Products, Home-Link, Problem 3, students solve multiplication problems and use estimates. “There are 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams and 32 National Football League (NFL) teams. The expanded roster for MLB teams is 40 players and it is 53 for NFL teams. How many more players are in the NFL than the MLB?” This activity provides the opportunity for students to apply their understanding of 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.”

Ryan used \frac{2}{3} of a can of paint. Each one of his sisters used \frac{1}{3} of the same-size can. How much paint did they use all together?” This activity provides the opportunity for students to apply their understanding of 4.NF.3d, “Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.”

• Lesson 8-3, Pattern Block Angles, Focus: Solving the Open Response Problem, Problem 3, students find measures of pattern-block angles. “Julie and Penny solved the problem below in different ways. What is the measure of an angle of a yellow hexagon? Draw a picture and explain how you know. Julie’s Solution: I know that the measure of the hexagon’s angle is 120°. The measure of the white rhombus’s small angle is 30° Four angles measuring 30° fit inside the hexagon’s angle. So, 30\degree+30\degree+30\degree+30\degree=120\degree. Penny’s Solution: I know that the measure of the hexagon’s angle is 120° because the measure of the square’s angle is 90\degree and the measure of the white rhombus’s small angle is 30\degree. So, 90\degree+30\degree=120\degree. Who is correct, Julie, Perry, or both? Write a note to another student explaining your thinking on the back of this page.” This activity provides the opportunity for students to apply their understanding of  4.MD.7, “Recognize angle measure as additive.”

Materials provide opportunities for students to independently demonstrate multiple routine and non-routine applications of the mathematics throughout the grade level. Independent Problem Solving provides “additional opportunities for children to apply the content they have learned during the section to solve non-routine problems independently. These problems often feature: applying math in the real world, multiple representations, drawing information or data from pictures, tables, or graphs, and opportunities for children to choose tools to support their problem solving.” Examples of independent demonstration of routine and non-routine applications of the mathematics include:

The three aspects of rigor are not always treated together and are not always treated separately. There is a balance of the three aspects of rigor within the grade.

The materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Grade 4 meet expectations in that the three aspects of rigor are not always treated together and are not always treated separately. There is a balance of the three aspects of rigor within the grade.

All three aspects of rigor are present independently throughout Grade 7. Examples where materials attend to conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, or application include:

• Lesson 1-5, More, 1 Less, Home-Link, Problem 1, students estimate solutions to multi-step number stories. “On the walk home from school, Meg stopped at the library for 22 minutes and at her grandmother’s house for 38 minutes. She spent 17 minutes walking. She left at 3:00 and was supposed to be home by 4:00. Did Meg make it home on time? How did you get your answer?” Students engage in application of 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.”

• Lesson 4-6, Introducing Partial-Products Multiplication, Focus: Introducing Partial-Products Multiplication, Math Journal 1, Problem 3, students partition a rectangle and use the partial-products multiplication strategy to solve number stories. “The mayor wants to beautify part of the highway by planting marigolds. She wants to plant 4 marigolds along every foot of highway for an entire mile or 5,280 feet. How many marigolds will she need? Draw a partitioned rectangle to represent the problem. Then use partial-products multiplication to record your work in a similar way.” Students extend their conceptual understanding of 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.”

What is the total cost of his remodeling project? b. Write a number model to show the cost of Keith’s remodeling project.c. How much of the$9,000 Keith saved will be left after his remodeling? d. Do you think Keith should do the remodeling project? Why or why not?” Students develop procedural skills and fluency of 4.NBT.4, “Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.”

Multiple aspects of rigor are engaged simultaneously to develop students’ mathematical understanding of a single unit of study throughout the materials. Examples include:

• Lesson 3-1, Equal Sharing and Equivalence, Home-Link, Problem 1, students generate equivalent fractions and solve equal sharing number stories. “Four friends shared 5 pizzas equally. How much pizza did each friend get?” Students engage with conceptual understanding and application of 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.

Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.”

• Lesson 5-3, Adding Fractions, Focus: Solving Fraction Addition Number Stories, students solve number stories with fractions. “After running \frac{3}{4} of a mile, Marisa stopped for a drink of water. Then she ran another \frac{3}{4} of a mile. How far did she run in all? What is the whole? Display ‘1 mile’ in a whole box. Does each of the fractions in this problem refer to the same whole? Will your answer be more or less than 1 mile? Encourage strategies such as the following: Use fraction names: just as 3 dogs + 3 dogs = 6 dogs, 3 fourths + 3 fourths = 6 fourths. The unit is fourths. Think about \frac{3}{4} as the sum of unit fractions: \frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}. Or more simply with equations: \frac{(3+3)}{4}=\frac{6}{4}. Use the Number-Line Poster: Place a finger on \frac{3}{4}. Then, beginning at \frac{3}{4}, count up \frac{3}{4}(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}) to \frac{6}{4}.” Students develop all three aspects of rigor simultaneously of 4.NF.3a, “Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.”, 4.NF.3b, “Decompose a fraction into a sum of fractions with the same denominator in more than one way, recording each decomposition by an equation.” and 4.NF.3d, “Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole and having like denominators.”

He reminds them that the Student Reference Book defines a conjecture as ‘a statement that is thought to be true based on information or mathematical thinking.’ a. Jeremiah’s conjecture is that whenever you multiply a unit fraction by a whole number, the product is always greater than 1. Jeremiah’s example is 5\star\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}. Does Jeremiah’s example fit his conjecture? Do you think Jeremiah’s conjecture is true? Why or why not?”

Materials attend to the intentional development of MP6: Attend to precision; and attend to the specialized language of mathematics for students, in connection to the grade-level content standards, as expected by the mathematical practice standards.

The materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Grade 4 partially meet expectations for supporting the intentional development of MP6: Attend to precision; and attend to the specialized language of mathematics, for students, in connection to the grade-level content standards, as expected by the mathematical practice standards.

MP6 is explicitly identified for teachers in several places: Pathway to Mastery Correlation to the Mathematical Processes and Practices, Focus, Student Math Journals, Student Reference Book, Independent Problem Solving Masters, and Practice. Students attend to precision in connection to grade-level content as they work with the support of the teacher and independently throughout the units. Examples include:

• Lesson 4-2, Making Reasonable Estimates for Products, Focus: Math Message, Math Journal 1, Problems 1-3, students calculate accurately and efficiently when using multiplication strategies to estimate and then check the reasonableness of their answers. “Answer the following questions as best as you can. 1. How many eggs did you eat in the last 7 days? 2. How many cups of milk did you drink in the last 7 days? 3. How many cups of yogurt did you eat in the last 7 days?” Teacher’s Lesson Guide, “What is meant by the “average” amount of food per year? Does everyone eat more than 2,000 pounds of food per year or about 5\frac{1}{2} pounds per day?” Math Masters, Problem 1, “Alice sleeps an average of 9 hours per night. A cat can sleep up to 20 hours per day. About how many more hours does a cat sleep in a month than Alice?”

• Lesson 6-10, Using a Half-Circle Protractor, Focus: Drawing Angles with a Half-Circle Protractor, Math Journal 2, Problem 2, students attend to precision as they draw angles given a description of angles. “Draw an angle measuring 150° using a ray CD as one of its sides.”

• Independent Problem Solving 1a, “to be used after Lesson 1-7”, Problem 1, students use and label tables appropriately as they complete a table chart and use subtraction and addition strategies. “A running club with 12 members is training for a marathon. They are keeping track of the total miles they run each week. They plan to run a total of 600 miles per week, with Saturdays and Sundays off. On Monday, they run 115 miles. On Tuesday, they run 10 miles less than Monday. On Wednesday and Thursday, they run 20 miles more than Tuesday. Complete the table to find out how many miles they need to run on Friday. Explain how you filled in the table.”

Materials attend to the specialized language of mathematics in connection to grade-level content. Examples include:

• Lesson 3-4, An Equivalent Fractions Rule, Practice: Math Boxes, Math Journal, Problem 5,  students formulate clear explanations as they explain that two triangles are both right triangles. “How do you know the triangles you drew for Problem 4 are right triangles even though they are not the same?”

• Independent Problem Solving 6a, “to be used after Lesson 6-8”, Problem 1, students use the specialized language of mathematics as they work with division problems and interpret remainders. “Ms. Smith’s class is planning Rockwell School’s 8th grade graduation luncheon. Sixty students will attend the luncheon and half of the students will bring a guest. The school has big round tables that seat 8 people. Ms. Smith’s class is figuring out how many tables they will need. Chris uses a calculator to divide 90 by 8 and gets 11.25. Bea uses paper and pencil to divide 90 by 8 and gets 11 remainder 2. a. Why are Chris and Bea dividing 90 by 8? b. How many tables are needed at the luncheon? c. Explain what Bea’s answer, 11 remainder 2, means about the number of tables they will need. d. Explain what Chris’s answer, 11.25, means. e. Sam says that they could change the number of tables and put more or fewer than 8 people at every table. Can you find a number of tables and a number to put at each table so that every table will have the same number of people?”

• Independent Problem Solving 8b, “to be used after Lesson 8-13”, Problem 2, students use the specialized language of mathematics as they explain how to use multiplication strategies to find out how many 5-gallon water jugs they need for practice. “A high school football team has 48 players. They practice for two hours every day. During practice, each player drinks about 32 fluid ounces of water. After practice, each player drinks another 64 fluid ounces. a. About how many fluid ounces of water does the team drink on a practice day? b. Coach has 10 cases of water bottles with 24 16-ounce bottles in each case. Does the coach have enough water? Why or why not? c. The team decides to save money and the planet by not using plastic water bottles. Instead, the players will use their own refillable water bottles. They will fill their bottles from big 5-gallon water jugs. How many 5-gallon water jugs will they need for one practice? 8 Explain how you found your answer.”

While the materials do attend to precision and the specialized language of mathematics, there are several instances of mathematical language that are not precise or grade level appropriate. Examples include:

• Student Reference Book, “A Frames-and-Arrows diagram, is one way to show a number pattern. This type of diagram has three parts: a set of frames that contains numbers; arrows that show the path from one frame to the next frame; and a rule box with an arrow below it. The rule tells how to change the number in one frame to get the number in the next frame.”

• Student Reference Book, “To use trade-first subtraction, compare each digit in the top number with each digit below it and make any needed trades before subtracting.”

• Lesson 2-13, Finding the Pattern, Focus: Applying Rules, “Remind students how a function table works. A number (the input) is dropped into the machine. The machine changes the number according to a rule. A new number (the output) comes out the other end.”

Materials support the intentional development of MP7: Look for and make use of structure; and MP8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning, for students, in connection to the grade-level content standards, as expected by the mathematical practice standards.

The materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Grade 4 meet expectations for supporting the intentional development of MP7: Look for and make use of structure; and MP8: Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning, for students, in connection to grade-level content standards, as expected by the mathematical practice standards.

Each lesson targets one to three MPs. Math Practices are identified for teachers in several places: Pathway to Mastery Correlation to the Mathematical Processes and Practices, Focus, Student Math Journals, Student Reference Book, Independent Problem Solving Masters, and Practice. Materials refer to the Mathematical Practices as GMPs (Goals for Mathematical Practice).

Materials provide intentional development of MP7 to meet its full intent in connection to grade-level content. Students look for and make use of structure throughout the units as they describe, and make use of patterns within problem-solving as they work with the support of the teacher and independently throughout the units. Examples include:

• Lesson 6-1, Extended Division Facts, Focus: Finding Patterns in Extended Division Facts, students make use of the structure as they explore patterns in division facts. Teachers support a discussion around patterns in extended division facts. “Tell students that, as with multiplication, extended facts can help solve division problems. Display the problem 35 divided by 7, 350 divided by 7, and 3,500 divided by 7. Have partners discuss strategies for solving. If no one mentions it, guide students in a discussion of using basic facts and knowledge of place value to solve extended division facts: Identify the basic fact, solve the basic fact, note place value.” Math Journal 2, Problem 5, students are provided a triangle with the numbers 4,800 and 6, \star, / inside, “Write a basic division fact and extended division fact for each Fact Triangle.” Problem 7, “What strategy did you use to solve Problem 5?”

• Lesson 7-9, Generating and Identifying Patterns, Focus: Math Message, Math Journal 2, students look for and explain the structure within mathematical representations as they build arrays representing rectangular numbers. “Use centimeter cubes to build the following arrays: 1-by-2, 2-by-3, 3-by-4. Be prepared to discuss any patterns you notice.” Teacher’s Lesson Guide, “Ask volunteers to share any patterns they noticed. Expect the following: The arrays are rectangles. Each array has an even number of cubes. Each array adds 1 row and 1 column. Ask: What rule can we use to find any square number?”

• Independent Problem Solving 2a, “to be used after Lesson 2-5”, students look for patterns or structures to make generalizations and solve problems as they use factors and multiples. “A class is playing Buzz. (See page 252 of your Student Reference Book for the game directions.) The STOP number is 42. They play with no mistakes and when they reach 42, it’s a BUZZ. As they play the game, they say BUZZ a total of 9 times. a. What could the BUZZ number have been? b. If the BUZZ number was even, what number was it? c. Explain how you solved this problem.”

Materials provide intentional development of MP8 to meet its full intent in connection to grade-level content. Students look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning throughout the units to make generalizations and build a deeper understanding of grade level math concepts as they work with the support of the teacher and independently throughout the units. Examples include:

• Lesson 7-9, Generating and Identifying Patterns, Extra Practice: Trading Cards, Math Journal 2, Problem 2, students notice repeated calculations to understand algorithms and make generalizations about patterns. “a. Fill in the first two lines of the chart using your answers from above. Find the pattern and use it to fill in the rest of the chart. Then answer the questions below. People: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Cards: ___, ___, ___, 20, 30, ___. Equation: 2\star(2-1)=2, 3\star(3-1)=6, ___, 5\star(5-1)=20, ___, ___. b. What rule describes the pattern in the chart?”

• Independent Problem Solving 3a, “to be used after Lesson 3-6”, Problem 2, students describe and explain another students’ method. “Zeynep says she can always make a fraction smaller than any fraction you give her. a. What is Zeynep’s rule for making a smaller fraction? b. Does Zeynep’s rule always work? Why or why not? c. Use Zeynep’s rule to complete the table. Add some fractions of your own.”

The materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Grade 4 meet expectations for providing teacher guidance with useful annotations and suggestions for how to enact the student materials and ancillary materials, with specific attention to engaging students in order to guide their mathematical development.

Materials provide comprehensive guidance that will assist teachers in presenting the student and ancillary materials. Examples include:

• Teacher's Lesson Guide, Welcome to Everyday Mathematics, explains how the program is presented. “Throughout Everyday Mathematics, emphasis is placed on problem solving in everyday situations and mathematical contexts; an instructional design that revisits topics regularly to ensure depth of knowledge and long-term learning; distributed practice through games and other daily activities; teaching that supports “productive struggle” and maintains high cognitive demand; and lessons and activities that engage all students and make mathematics fun!”

• Implementation Guide, Guiding Principles for the Design and Development of Everyday Mathematics, explains the foundational principles. “The foundational principles that guide Everyday Mathematics development address what children know when they come to school, how they learn best, what they should learn, and the role of problem-solving and assessment in the curriculum.”

• Unit 4, Multi-Digit Multiplication, Organizer, Coherence, provides an overview of content and expectations for the unit. “In Unit 1, students learn U.S. traditional addition. In Units 2-4, students practice multi-digit addition and subtraction with whole numbers in a variety of contexts. In Grade 3, students learn a variety of methods for multidigit addition and subtraction. Beginning in Unit 6, students use multidigit addition and subtraction with whole numbers as they do partial-quotients division. In Grade 5, students will learn how to multiply using U.S. traditional multiplication.”

Materials include sufficient and useful annotations and suggestions that are presented within the context of the specific learning objectives. Examples include:

• Implementation Guide, Everyday Mathematics Instructional Design, “Lesson Structure and Features include; Lesson Opener, Mental Math and Fluency, Daily Routines, Math Message, Math Message Follow-Up, Assessment Check-In, Summarize, Practice, Math Boxes, and Home-Links.”

• Lesson 1-13, Finding Perimeters of Squares and Rectangles, Common Misconception teacher guidance addresses common misconceptions as students use formulas for finding the perimeter of a rectangle. “Watch for students who think they have found the answer by adding only the 2 labeled sides. Suggest that they label the lengths of the other two sides. Remind these students that even though all sides may not be labeled, all sides do need to be included in the calculation.”

• Lesson 5-8, Subtracting Mixed Numbers, Focus: Assessment Check-In, teacher guidance supports students in solving mixed number subtraction problems. “Observe students completing journal page 171. Expect most to be able to solve Problems 1 and 2 using a strategy. Encourage students who struggle to work through each step by modeling the mixed numbers, taking pieces away, then renaming them using fraction circles. For students who complete all parts successfully, suggest that they write a number story and illustrate how to solve it in two ways.”

• Lesson 8-7, More Decimal Number Stories, Focus: Solving a Perimeter Problem with Simple Decimals, Math Message Follow-Up, teacher guidance connects students' prior knowledge to new concepts. “Before students share solution strategies, guide a discussion about decimal and fraction equivalence by displaying two-name collection boxes, one for 5.6 and one for 3.8, and completing them as a class. Remind students that sometimes one form of a number is easier to work with than another when solving problems. Sometimes the “easier” form is different for different people. This is why more than one way to solve a problem is encouraged. It is important to remember that mixed numbers and decimals are simply different ways to name the same number and that numbers can be combined in different ways to find an answer.”

Materials contain adult-level explanations and examples of the more complex grade-level/course-level concepts and concepts beyond the current course so that teachers can improve their own knowledge of the subject.

The materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Grade 4 meet expectations for containing adult-level explanations and examples of the more complex grade-level concepts and concepts beyond the current grade so that teachers can improve their own knowledge of the subject.

Each Unit Organizer Coherence table provides adult-level explanations and examples of complex grade/course-level concepts so teachers can improve their content knowledge. Professional Development side notes within Lessons support teachers in building knowledge of key mathematical concepts. Examples include:

• Lesson 1-10, U.S. Customary Units of Length, Professional Development, supports teachers with concepts for work beyond the grade. “The Grade 4 standard 4.MD.1 expects students to express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Thus, students may only understand this relationship as moving from larger to smaller. The Grade 5 standards expect that students will explore the relationship in both directions. It is important that students are exposed to converting measurement units from smaller to larger in Grade 4, so as to have a general understanding of the relationship. Do not expect that your students will master the concept. It will not be assessed in Grade 4.”

• Unit 2, Multiplication and Geometry, Unit 2 Organizer, 4.G.2, supports teachers with concepts for work beyond the grade. “Links to the Future: In Grade 5, students use properties of triangles to create a triangle hierarchy.”

• Lesson 4-13, Lattice Multiplication, Professional Development, explains using the lattice multiplication. “Lattice multiplication is a simple alternative to traditional algorithms that deal with whole numbers. It focuses on place value and the organization of a multiplication problem. The lattice method breaks down the numbers into place values, allowing students to work with smaller numbers while solving a multi-digit multiplication problem. Students are not required to learn this method, but they should be encouraged to try. Having choices among methods is important. Given those choices, most students will select ones that work best for them.”

• Lesson 5-10, Rotations and Iterating Angles, Professional Development, explains understanding angles and protractor use. “For students to accurately use a protractor to measure angles, they must first understand what they are measuring. The attribute of angle size is a source of confusion for most students. Using a nonstandard unit like a wedge to measure an angle helps students see that measuring the size of an angle is the same as measuring any other attribute: iterating unit angles fills the spread between an angle’s rays, just as iterating unit lengths fills a given length.”

• Unit 7, Multiplication of a Fraction by a Whole Number; Measurement, Unit 7 Organizer, 4.OA.3, provides support with explanations and examples of the more complex grade/course-level concepts. “Links to the Past: In Grade 3, students solve two-step word problems involving all four operations, using a letter for the unknown quantity. They estimate to assess the reasonableness of results.”

• Lesson 8-7, More Decimal Number Stories, Professional Development, supports teachers with concepts for work beyond the grade. “Even though formal operations with decimals are not a Grade 4 mathematics topic in Indiana Academic Standards, the work in this lesson meets 4.MD.2, which specifies problems involving distances and simple decimals and provides a foundation for more formal work with decimal operations in Grade 5. The link between different representations of numbers, especially fractions and decimals, is a key concept for success with decimal computation in fifth grade.”

• Lesson 6-5, (Day 2): Fruit Baskets, Core Standards identified are 4.NF.7, 4.OA.3, and 4.NBT.6. Lessons contain a consistent structure that includes an Overview, Before You Begin, Vocabulary, Warm-Up, Focus, Assessment Check-In, Practice, Minute Math, Math Boxes, and Home-Link. This provides an additional place to reference standards, and language of the standard, within each lesson.

• Mastery Expectations, 4.NBT.3, “First Quarter: Round numbers through the hundred thousands to the thousands place or larger. Second Quarter: Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place. Third Quarter: Ongoing practice and application. Fourth Quarter: Ongoing practice and application.” Mastery is expected in the Second Quarter.

Each Unit Organizer Coherence table includes an overview of content standards addressed within the unit as well as a narrative outlining relevant prior and future content connections for teachers. Examples include:

• Unit 3, Fractions and Decimals, Organizer, Coherence, includes an overview of how the content in 4th grade builds from previous grades and extends to future grades. “In Grade 3, students use visual models, such as fraction circles, drawings, and number lines to compare fractions. They learn that comparisons are possible only if the whole is the same size. In Grade 5, students apply formal strategies to add and subtract fractions and use estimates to help them assess the reasonableness of their answers.”

• Unit 5, Fraction and Mixed-Number Computation; Measurement, Organizer, Coherence, includes an overview of how the content in 4th grade builds from previous grades and extends to future grades. “In Grade 3, students used fraction strips, number lines, and fraction circles to explore fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers and to convert whole numbers into fraction equivalents. In Grade 5, students develop formal strategies to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers.”

• Unit 8, Fraction Operations; Applications, Organizer, Coherence, includes an overview of how the content in 4th grade builds from previous grades and extends to future grades. “In Grade 3, students use concrete and visual representations to explore fractions as equal parts of the whole. In Grade 5, students develop formal strategies, including using equivalent fractions with common denominators, to add and subtract fractions and mixed numbers.”

The Implementation guide suggests, “These handbooks outline articles, explanatory material about Everyday Mathematics philosophy and program, and provide suggestions for parents regarding how to become involved in their children’s mathematics education.” Each unit also has a corresponding Family Letter available in both English and Spanish, providing a variety of supports for families including the core focus for each unit, ideas for practice at home, key vocabulary terms, building skills through games, and solutions to the homework from each lesson. Examples include:

• Unit 2, Multiplication and Geometry, Home-Link, Family Letter, Multiplication, and Multiplicative Comparison, “In Unit 2 students build on prior work of multiplying whole numbers. The focus is on multiplication in a variety of contexts including; rectangular-array patterns, work with factors, factor pairs, multiples, prime numbers, and composite numbers. This unit introduces the concept of multiplicative comparison, or using multiplication to compare one quantity to another. Take the following number story: Mike earned 4. Sue earned 7 times as much as Mike. Here Sue’s earnings are compared to Mike’s as being 7 times as much. Based on this comparison, we can find how much Sue earned (\$4\star7= 28). Measurement work in Unit 2 is tied to multiplication. Working with units of time, students multiply to convert from hours to minutes and minutes to seconds. They are introduced to the area formula for rectangles, A = l * w, in which A is area, l is length, and w is width. Students also work with patterns found in square numbers, multiples, factors, and “What’s My Rule?” tables. They practice looking more deeply into patterns by identifying ones that based on the rule multiply a number by itself that every other square number is even.”

• Lesson, 5-10, Rotations and Iterating Angles, Home-Link, “Family Note: If your child needs help with the following problems, consider putting up signs in a room in your home to indicate the directions north, south, east, and west. Do the turns with your child. Please return this Home Link to school tomorrow.”

• Unit 7, Multiplication of a Fraction by a Whole Number; Measurement, Home-Link, Family Letter, Vocabulary, “Important terms in Unit 7: line plot - A sketch of data in which checkmarks, Xs, stick-on notes, or other marks above a labeled line show the frequency of each value. mixed number - A number that is written using both a whole number and a fraction. For example, 5\frac{2}{3}is a mixed number equal to 5+\frac{2}{3}. multiple of a fraction - A product of a fraction and a counting number. For example, \frac{5}{4}=5\star(\frac{1}{4})}. unit fraction- A fraction in which the numerator is 1.”

Assessment system provides multiple opportunities throughout the grade, course, and/or series to determine students' learning and sufficient guidance to teachers for interpreting student performance and suggestions for follow-up.

The materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Grade 4 partially meet expectations for including an assessment system that provides multiple opportunities throughout the grade, course, and/or series to determine students’ learning and sufficient guidance to teachers for interpreting student performance and suggestions for follow-up.

In the Everyday Mathematics 4 materials, the assessment system consists of Ongoing and Periodic Assessments. Ongoing Assessments provide sufficient guidance to teachers for interpreting student performance and suggestions for follow-up through Assessment Check-Ins. Periodic Assessments provide sufficient guidance to teachers for interpreting student performance; however, they do not provide suggestions to teachers for follow-up with students.

Summative Assessments, such as Unit Assessments, Cumulative Assessments, Mid-Year Assessment, and End-of-Year Assessment, provide an answer key with aligned standards. Open Response Assessments, include an answer key and generic rubric for evaluating the Goal for Mathematical Process and Practice and provide examples of student responses and how they would score on the rubric (such as Exceeding Expectations, Meeting Expectations, Partially Meeting Expectations, and Not Meeting Expectations). A student achievement recording spreadsheet for each unit learning target is available that includes: Individual Profile of Progress in Unit Assessment Check-Ins, Individual Profile of Progress in Unit Progress Check, Whole-Class Progress Check, Individual Profile of Progress Mathematical Process and Practice for Units, and Whole Class Record of Mathematical Process and Practice Opportunities. While some scoring guidance is included within the materials, there is no guidance or suggestions for teachers to follow up with students. Examples include:

• Unit 2, Multiplication and Geometry, Unit Assessment, Problem 5, “Should you add or multiply to find the answer to the question below? Explain. Leland read for 20 minutes. Katalina read 8 times as long. How long did Katalina read? Multiply, because she read 8 times as many minutes, not 8 more minutes.” This question is aligned to 4.OA.2.

• Mid-Year Assessments, Problem 3, “a. Round 276,542 to the nearest hundred-thousand. b. Round 469,311 to the nearest thousand. c. Round 792,985 to the nearest hundred. a. 300,000 b. 469,000 c. 793,000.” This question is aligned to 4.NBT.3.

Finish each boy’s solution using the tool or strategy that he chose. 3\star\frac{2}{5}= ___. Finish Trenton’s work. Explain how multiplication could be used in Trenton’s strategy.” The Goal for Mathematical Process and Practice, “Not Meeting Expectations: Does not represent 3 sets of 2_ 5 using fraction circles or the number line or does not describe or show a rule for multiplying a whole by a fraction. Partially Meeting Expectations: Represents 3 sets of 2 _ 5 using fraction circles or the number line and describes or shows a rule for multiplying a whole number by a fraction, but makes an incorrect or inadequate connection between the representation and the rule. Meeting Expectations: Using either fraction circles or the number line, represent 3 sets of 2_ 5 and describes or shows (e.g., with a number sentence) a rule (e.g., multiply the whole number by the numerator of the fraction, while the denominator stays the same) and describes a connection between the representation and the rule (e.g., 3 hops is 2 _ 5 + 2 _ 5 + 2 _ 5, or 6_ 5, which is the same as 3\star2 _ 5, so you multiply 3\star2 and write it over 5, the denominator). Exceeding Expectations: Meets Expectations using both the fraction-circle representation and the number line representation.” This question is aligned to 4.NF.4, 4.NF.4b and SMP8.

• End-Of-Year Assessment, Problem 15, “Find the unknown angle measure. Do not use a protractor. Equation with unknown: ___. Sample answer: 360-(90+115)=a; 155.” This question is aligned to 4.MD.7.

The materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Grade 4 meet expectations for providing strategies and supports for students who read, write, and/or speak in a language other than English to regularly participate in learning grade-level mathematics.

The Teacher’s Lesson Guide and ConnectED Teacher Center include guidance for the teacher in meeting the needs of English Language Learners. There are specific suggestions for making anchor charts or explaining new vocabulary. The Implementation Guide, English Language Learners, Everyday Mathematics addresses the needs of three groups of ELL based on their English language proficiency (beginning, emerging, and advanced), “Beginning English language learners fall into Entering (level 1) and Emerging (level 2) proficiencies. This group is typically within the first year of learning English; students' basic communication skills with everyday language are in their early development. These students require the most intensive language-related accommodations in order to access the mathematics in most lessons. Intermediate and Advanced English learners represent Levels 3, 4, and 5 (Developing, Expanding, and Bridging) in the English language proficiencies identified above. Students in this category are typically in their second to fourth year of learning English. They may be proficient with basic communications skills in English and able to carry on everyday conversations, but they are still developing proficiency with more cognitively demanding academic language of the mathematics class.” The ConnectED Teacher Center offers extended suggestions for working with diverse learners including English Language Learners. The Teacher’s Lesson Guide provides supplementary activities for beginning English Language Learners, Intermediate, and Advanced English Language Learners. In every lesson, there are Differentiation Support suggestions, English Language Learner for Beginning ELL located on the Differentiation Options Page and Focus section. Examples include:

• Lesson 1-9, U.S. Traditional Subtraction, English Language Learner Beginning ELL, “Demonstrate the meaning of columns on a grid, using up and down gestures as you say the term. Have students trace columns from top to button with their fingers. Show examples of columns and non-examples (rows) on the grid, asking yes/no questions like: Is this a column? Choose a number from the top of the grid and tell students to point to that column and trace it up and down.”

• Lesson 5-12, Creating Symmetric Figures, Differentiation Options, English Language Learner Beginning ELL, “To scaffold students’ understanding of terms used in the lesson, including line, fold, horizontal, vertical, and mirror image, provide vocabulary cards for each term with the corresponding illustration. Use Total Physical Response prompts to model each term, directing students to find classroom examples that help illustrate each of these terms. For example, point to a vertical line as you say the term, and then ask students to point to another vertical line.”

Materials provide guidance to encourage teachers to draw upon student home language to facilitate learning.

The materials reviewed for Everyday Mathematics 4 Grade 4 provide guidance to encourage teachers to draw upon student home language to facilitate learning.

The Implementation Guide, “This edition of Everyday Mathematics incorporates a variety of strategies to increase the accessibility of the lessons to English language learners. A fundamental principle of Everyday Mathematics is that students learn mathematics best when they use it to solve problems in meaningful contexts. Similarly, languages are acquired more effectively when learned in conjunction with meaningful content and purposeful communication. Thus, instruction with Everyday Mathematics can serve two purposes for English language learners: helping them learn mathematics and helping them develop English language proficiency. English language learners enter mathematics classrooms with many similarities and differences in the language spoken at home, previous school preparation, and academic background in English as well as in their first language. Grade level does not dictate English proficiency. For example, English language learners in higher grade levels may be at beginning English proficiency levels. Conversely, students in the early grades may be at higher levels of English proficiency. Some English language learners have extensive educational backgrounds, which include the study of English. Others may have very limited formal school experiences, which may mean they lack literacy skills in their home language and English. Moreover, English proficiency does not determine mathematical proficiency.” English Language Learner notes provide activities to support students with different English language proficiency. Examples include:

• Lesson 6-12, Number Stories with Fractions and Mixed Numbers, Focus: Adding and Subtracting Fractions and Mixed Numbers, Differentiation and English Learners Support, “Encourage students to use academic language structures when discussing the similarities and differences between the two backpack number stories.”

• Implementation Guide, 10.5.3 Developing and Reinforcing Vocabulary: Selected Accessibility Strategies for English Language Learners, Using Reference Materials, “Encourage English learners to use the Everyday Mathematics My Reference Book in Grades 1 and 2 and the Students Reference Books in Grades 3-6 along with other reference materials in print and online, such as encyclopedias, almanacs, and dictionaries (including bilingual dictionaries). For Spanish speakers, note that technical terms used in Everyday Mathematics may be similar to the Spanish words, which may enhance Spanish speakers’ retention of new terminology. In the appropriate context, list English and Spanish words for students to build meaning, but do not assume that students understand the meanings of that Spanish word. Some examples are: angle/angulo, circle/circulo, parallel/paralelo, interior/interior, and polygon/poligono.”

The Implementation Guide, “Increasing English language learner’s accessibility to lesson content involves a variety of strategies with the same basic principle: consider the language demands of a lesson and incorporate language-related strategies for helping students access the core mathematics of the lesson. In other words, provide students with enough language support so that their time with the lesson can focus on the mathematical ideas rather than interpreting the language.” Examples include:

• Role Playing: “An excellent way to deepen understanding of concepts is to give students the opportunity to apply what they have learned to a familiar situation. In one lesson, students simulate a shopping trip using mock Sale Posters as visual references and play with money as a manipulative to practice making change. In this example, English learners can take turns being the shopkeeper and the customer. This role play helps students learn and practice the phrases and vocabulary they need in real shopping situations while gaining familiarity with the language needed to access the mathematics content of the lesson.”

• Tapping Prior Knowledge: “English learners sometimes feel that they must rely on others to help them understand the instruction and practice in school each day. However, English learners bring unique knowledge and experience that they should be encouraged to contribute to the classroom community. For example, working with metric measurement and alternative algorithms present excellent opportunities for English learners to share their expertise with the group. Those who have gone to school outside the United States may know the metric system or other algorithms well.”

• Sheltered Instruction: “The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) Model was developed at the Center for Applied Linguistics (CAL) specifically to help teachers plan for the learning needs of English language learners. The model is based on the sheltered instruction approach, an approach for teaching content to English language learners in strategic ways that make the content comprehensible, while promoting English language development.” Components and Features of the SIOP Model include: Lesson Preparation, Building Background, Comprehensible Input, Strategies, Interaction, Practice and Application, Lesson Delivery, and Review and Assessment.
