Grade 4 Unit 4: Multiplication & Division
Unit 4: Multiplication & Division
Content Emphasis/ Big Ideas
In this unit, students explore the concepts of multiplication and division. Students solve problems set in real-world contexts that involve composing and decomposing units into groups. Students represent multiplication and division with a variety of visual representations such as arrays, equal group pictures, and number lines. Multiplication and division concepts are taught together so that students can explore the relationship between the operations. Students learn about and use properties of multiplication. They also examine multiplication and division number patterns using a variety of representations.
