Term 3
Fractions and Decimals
Grade 4 students this term will:
• demonstrate an understanding of fractions less than or equal to one by using concrete and pictorial representations to:
- name and record fractions for the parts of a whole or a set
- compare and order fractions
- model and explain that for different wholes, two identical fractions may not represent the same quantity
- provide examples of where fractions are used
• describe and represent decimals (tenths and hundredths) concretely, pictorially, and symbolically
• relate decimals to fractions (to hundredths)
• demonstrate an understanding of addition and subtraction of decimals (limited to hundredths) by
- using compatible numbers
- estimating sums and differences
- using mental math strategies to solve problems
Grade 5 students this term will:
• demonstrate an understanding of fractions by using concrete and pictorial representations to create sets of equivalent fractions and compare fractions with like and unlike denominators.
• describe and represent decimals (tenths, hundredths, thousandths) concretely, pictorially, and symbolically.
• relate decimals to fractions (to thousandths)
• compare and order decimals (to thousandths) by using benchmarks, place value, equivalent decimals
• demonstrate an understanding of addition and subtraction of decimals (limited to thousandths)

Measurement
Length, Perimeter, Area, Volume and Capacity (continuation from Term 2)
Grade 4 students this term will:
• demonstrate an understanding of area of regular and irregular 2-D shapes by
• recognizing that area is measured in square units
• selecting and justifying referents for the units cm2 or m2
• estimating area by using referents for cm2 or m2
• determining and recording area (cm2 or m2)
• constructing different rectangles for a given area (cm2 or m2) in order to demonstrate that many different rectangles may have the same area
Grade 5 students this term will:
• design and construct different rectangles given either perimeter or area, or both (whole numbers) and draw conclusions
• demonstrate an understanding of measuring length (mm) by selecting and justifying referents for the unit mm
• modelling and describing the relationship between mm and cm units, and between mm and m units
• demonstrate an understanding of volume by selecting and justifying referents for cm3 or m3 units
• estimating volume by using referents for cm3 or m3
• measuring and recording volume (cm3 or m3)
• constructing rectangular prisms for a given volume
• demonstrate an understanding of capacity by describing the relationship between mL and L
• selecting and justifying referents for mL or L units
• estimating capacity by using referents for mL or L
• measuring and recording capacity (mL or L)
