Pennsylvania 4th Grade Math Standards

All 15 Pennsylvania math standards for 4th grade, each explained in plain English. The official wording is in Pennsylvania Department of Education's document, linked at the end of this page.

15 standards

Numbers & Operations in Base Ten

2 standards
CC.2.1.4.B.1
Read, write, compare, and round whole numbers up to 1,000,000, knowing each digit is worth ten times the same digit one place to its right.
CC.2.1.4.B.2
Add and subtract large whole numbers fluently, multiply up to four digits by one digit or two digits by two, and divide four-digit numbers by one digit.

Numbers & Operations—Fractions

3 standards
CC.2.1.4.C.1
Show why fractions like 2/3 and 4/6 are equal, and compare fractions with different denominators by finding a common denominator or comparing to 1/2.
CC.2.1.4.C.2
Treat a fraction as a sum of unit fractions, like 3/8 = 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8, to add and subtract like fractions and mixed numbers and multiply fractions by whole numbers.
CC.2.1.4.C.3
Write fractions with denominators of 10 or 100 as decimals, like 62/100 as 0.62, and compare decimals to the hundredths.

Operations and Algebraic Thinking

3 standards
CC.2.2.4.A.1
Solve multi-step word problems with all four operations, including comparisons like 3 times as many and division with remainders, and check that answers make sense.
CC.2.2.4.A.2
Find all the factor pairs of a whole number from 1 to 100, list its multiples, and tell whether it is prime or composite.
CC.2.2.4.A.4
Create a number or shape pattern from a single rule, like start at 1 and add 3, and spot features of the pattern that the rule does not state.

Geometry

3 standards
CC.2.3.4.A.1
Draw points, lines, segments, rays, right, acute, and obtuse angles, and parallel and perpendicular lines, and find them in flat shapes.
CC.2.3.4.A.2
Sort flat shapes by whether they have parallel or perpendicular sides and by the kinds of angles they have, including spotting right triangles.
CC.2.3.4.A.3
Recognize shapes that match exactly when folded along a line, and draw those lines of symmetry.

Measurement and Data

4 standards
CC.2.4.4.A.1
Solve word problems with distance, time, volume, mass, and money, and convert larger units to smaller ones, like feet to inches or kilograms to grams.
CC.2.4.4.A.2
Move data from one kind of display to another, like turning a table into a bar graph or a tally chart into a line plot.
CC.2.4.4.A.4
Read a line plot of measurements in halves, quarters, and eighths and use it to solve problems, like the difference between the longest and shortest.
CC.2.4.4.A.6
Measure angles in whole degrees with a protractor, sketch angles of a given size, and find unknown angles by adding or subtracting the parts.
