All 29 Louisiana math standards for 4th grade, each explained in plain English. The official wording is in Louisiana Department of Education's document, linked at the end of this page.

29 standards

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

5 standards
4.OA.A.1
Treat a multiplication equation as a comparison and turn comparison sentences into equations, like 24 = 6 x 4 means 24 is 6 times as many as 4.
4.OA.A.2
Solve word problems about times as many by multiplying or dividing, using drawings or equations with an unknown, and tell them apart from problems about how many more.
4.OA.A.3
Solve multi-step word problems with all four operations, using a letter for the unknown, making sense of remainders, and checking answers with estimation and rounding.
4.OA.B.4
For whole numbers 1 to 100, find all factor pairs, see that a number is a multiple of its factors, test for multiples of one-digit numbers, and tell prime from composite.
4.OA.C.5
Make and extend number and shape patterns that follow a rule.
Common Core 4.OA.5

Number and Operations in Base Ten

6 standards
4.NBT.A.1
Explain that in whole numbers up to 1,000,000 each digit is worth ten times what it would be one place to the right, like 700 ÷ 70 = 10.
4.NBT.A.2
Read and write whole numbers up to 1,000,000 in digits, words and expanded form, and compare two of them by place value using >, = and <.
4.NBT.A.3
Round whole numbers up to 1,000,000 to any place, using place value to decide, like 486,512 to the nearest ten thousand is 490,000.
4.NBT.B.4
Add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers with the standard algorithm quickly and accurately, with sums up to 1,000,000.
4.NBT.B.5
Multiply up to four digits by one digit, and two two-digit numbers, with place-value strategies.
Common Core 4.NBT.5
4.NBT.B.6
Divide up to four digits by one digit, with or without remainders.
Common Core 4.NBT.6

Number and Operations—Fractions

7 standards
4.NF.A.1
Use fraction models to explain and create equivalent fractions by multiplying top and bottom by the same number, like 3/4 = 9/12, with denominators 2 to 6, 8, 10, 12 and 100.
4.NF.A.2
Compare fractions like 3/5 and 5/8 using common denominators or the benchmark 1/2, and justify the >, = or < result, with denominators 2 to 6, 8, 10, 12 and 100.
4.NF.B.3
Add and subtract like fractions and mixed numbers, also in word problems, by splitting fractions into sums of unit fractions, with denominators 2 to 6, 8, 10, 12 and 100.
4.NF.B.4
Multiply a fraction by a whole number by seeing it as copies of a unit fraction, like 3 x 2/5 = 6/5, in models and word problems with denominators 2 to 6, 8, 10, 12 and 100.
4.NF.C.5
Rewrite tenths as hundredths to add them, like 3/10 + 4/100.
Common Core 4.NF.5
4.NF.C.6
Write tenths and hundredths as decimals, like 62/100 as 0.62, and use them for lengths, money amounts and points on a number line.
4.NF.C.7
Compare two decimals to hundredths.
Common Core 4.NF.7

Measurement and Data

8 standards
4.MD.A.1
Compare unit sizes within one system, like feet and inches or liters and milliliters, convert larger units to smaller in one step, and list pairs in a two-column table.
4.MD.A.2
Solve word problems about distance, time, volume, mass and money with all four operations, using whole numbers or simple fractions and number line diagrams with a scale.
4.MD.A.3
Use the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles.
Common Core 4.MD.3
4.MD.B.4
Make a line plot with fractions of a unit and use it to solve problems.
Common Core 4.MD.4
4.MD.C.5
Understand angles and how they are measured in degrees.
Common Core 4.MD.5
4.MD.C.6
Measure and draw angles with a protractor.
Common Core 4.MD.6
4.MD.C.7
Treat angle measures as adding up when an angle is split into parts, and write and solve equations to find a missing angle in a diagram.
4.MD.D.8
Find the area of shapes made of rectangles by splitting them into rectangles that do not overlap and adding their areas, including in real-world problems.

Geometry

3 standards
4.G.A.1
Draw points, lines, segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular and parallel lines.
Common Core 4.G.1
4.G.A.2
Sort 2D shapes by their parallel or perpendicular lines and by their angles.
Common Core 4.G.2
4.G.A.3
Find and draw lines of symmetry.
Common Core 4.G.3
