Cluster:
Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.

Standard:
Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.

Footnote:
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Cluster:
Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.

Standard:
Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multidigit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

Cluster:
Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.

Standard:
Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.

Cluster:
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.

Standard:
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

Cluster:
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.

Standard:
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.

Cluster:
Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.

Standard:
Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Cluster:
Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.

Standard:
Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real-world problems.

Cluster:
Represent and interpret data.

Standard:
Make a line plot to display a data set of measurements in fractions of a unit (1/2, 1/4, 1/8). Use operations on fractions for this grade to solve problems involving information presented in line plots. For example, given different measurements of liquid in identical beakers, find the amount of liquid each beaker would contain if the total amount in all the beakers were redistributed equally.

Cluster:
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.

Standard:
Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement. A cube with side length 1 unit, called a “unit cube,” is said to have “one cubic unit” of volume, and can be used to measure volume.

Cluster:
Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.

Standard:
Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement. A solid figure which can be packed without gaps or overlaps using n unit cubes is said to have a volume of n cubic units.
