CCSS	Code	NUMBER & OPERATIONS IN BASE TEN
4.NBT.A	4B1	Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.
4.NBT.1	4B11	Relate place value to multiplication and division by 10. This may be a new problem type in the curriculum. Multiplying by 10 moves each digit of the number one place to the left, while dividing by 10 moves each digit of the number one place to the right.
4.NBT.2	4B12	Read and write numbers to 1 million.
4.NBT.2	4B13	Convert between standard and expanded forms of whole numbers.
4.NBT.2	4B14	Compare whole numbers up to 1 million.
4.NBT.3	4B15	Round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.

4.NBT.B	4B2	Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
4.NBT.4	4B21	Add multi-digit numbers using the standard algorithm. In Grade 3, students used place value concepts but were not required to learn the standard algorithm.
4.NBT.4	4B22	Subtract multi-digit number using the standard algorithm.
4.NBT.5	4B23	Multiply 2-digit by 1-digit numbers using place value and/or models. It is important for students to master multiplication using place value before being introduced to the standard algorithm. Fluency with the multiplication algorithm is not expected until Grade 5.
4.NBT.5	4B24	Multiply 3- and 4-digit by 1-digit numbers using place value and/or models.
4.NBT.5	4B25	Multiply 2-digit by 2-digit numbers using place value and/or models.
4.NBT.6	4B26	Relate division and multiplication.
4.NBT.6	4B27	Divide 2-digit dividends by 1-digit divisors using place value and/or models.
4.NBT.6	4B28	Divide 3- and 4-digit dividends by 1-digit divisors using place value and/or models.
CCSS	Code	NUMBER & OPERATIONS WITH FRACTIONS
4.NF.A	4F1	Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
4.NF.1	4F11	Identify equivalent fractions using models.
4.NF.1	4F12	Write fractions equivalent to a given fraction.
4.NF.2	4F13	Compare fractions by rewriting them with a common denominator.
4.NF.2	4F14	Compare fractions by using models.
4.NF.2	4F15	Compare fractions by comparing to benchmarks.
4.NF.B	4F2	Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.
4.NF.3ab	4F21	Decompose fractions and mixed numbers, and write as equations. For example, the mixed number 2-1/4 is equal to 2 + 1/4. The fraction 3/4 is equal to 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4.
4.NF.3ab	4F22	Add and subtract fractions with like denominators.
4.NF.3c	4F23	Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators.
4.NF.3d	4F24	Add and subtract fractions to solve word problems.
4.NF.4a	4F25	Decompose a non-unit fraction as a whole number times a unit fraction. For example, the fraction 3/4 is equal to 3 x 1/4.
4.NF.4bc	4F26	Multiply fractions by whole numbers.
4.NF.C	4F3	Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.
4.NF.5	4F31	Express fractions in tenths as hundredths. For example, 3/10 is equal to 30/100. Written as decimals, 0.3 is equal to 0.30.
4.NF.5	4F32	Add fractions in tenths and hundredths. For example, 3/10 + 7/100 is equal to 37/100. This is an important prerequisite for understanding decimals.
4.NF.6	4F33	Convert between decimals and fractions in tenths or hundredths.
4.NF.6	4F34	Locate decimals on a number line.
4.NF.7	4F35	Compare two decimals to hundredths.
CCSS	Code	GEOMETRY
4.G.A	4G1	Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles.
4.G.1	4G11	Identify and draw points, lines, and line segments. All problem types in this cluster are completely new for Grade 4 and should be mastered at this level.
4.G.1	4G12	Identify and draw parallel and perpendicular lines.
4.G.1	4G13	Identify and draw rays and acute, right, and obtuse angles.
4.G.2	4G14	Classify and identify triangles by angles.
