By the end of Stage 4 a
learner can perform all basic operations and knows how to apply them in everyday
situations.
At this stage, a learner:
Place Value
- counts forward and backward by is, 2s, 5s, 10s, 25s and 100s with numbers that have up
to 4+ digits
- understands concept of place value to 4+ digits (i.e. can explain that the digit
"5" in the number 5,209 is worth "5,000" and in the number 2,598 is
worth "500")
- reads, writes and shows an understanding of numbers in written form (one, two ... ) from
0 to 1,000
- using manipulatives such as Base Ten Blocks, is able to physically represent
numbers 1 to 1,000+ and vice versa
- orders and compares numbers (greater than, less than, equal to) 1 to 1,000+
- estimates large quantities and amounts
- knows and understands the concept of number words such as "thousand, million,
billion, trillion"
Patterns and Groups
- recognizes and creates complex patterns
- reads and creates complex graphs
Operations
- performs multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
- performs operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) with fractions
and decimals
- understands, can show with manipulatives and explain to another student the concepts of
ratio and percentages applies different strategies to determine answer to problems
can budget
Temperature
- predicts outside temperature
- understands the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius
Money
- estimates how much a list of things will cost and how much change will be returned (e.g.
on a shopping list)
Time and Calendar
- understands time~related English expressions
- (e.g. quarter to, ten to, quarter past, etc.)
- can calculate amounts of time from specific dates (e.g. "How old is John now if he
was born on November 19, 1956?", "How much older is Marie (21/11/61) than Will
(15/9/56)?
Measurement
- is able to use measurement for complex problems (e.g. describing the dimensions of a
floor for a rug)
- understands and can explain the difference between the Imperial and Metric systems of
measurement
- is able to perform calculations such as the distance between two cities in kilometres
using a map.
Calculator
- uses a calculator with ease
Metacognitive Strategies
- explains concept to another student
- checks understanding of problems
- uses calculator independently to check answers
- connects new problems to similar problems done in the past
