    In the formative years, a child develops effective skills through play and games. We live in an age where a child spends a major chunk of their time online and on the computer. Online math games and math puzzles are a great way to develop a foundation for math skills in a playful manner and are in alignment with the core curriculum.

    A grade 4 child, is now proficient with the mathematical world. The child learns to represent math problems dealing with an addition in multiple ways including numbers, words (mathematical language), drawing pictures, using objects, making a chart, list, or creating math equations using relevant math symbols, etc.

    As the fourth grader develops their mathematical skills, try to use clear and precise language in discussions and establish proper reasoning.

     

    In grade 4 mathematics study:

     

    4 to 7 digit number abacus using place values

    An abacus is one of the oldest and most useful math aid for representing numbers and doing various mathematical operations.  It can be used for teaching math based on core curriculum as a manipulative.  

    In grade 4, the abacus is handy in representing 4-digit to 7-digit numbers. It makes use of the place values. According to the US place value system, the place value chart is divided into periods and places as follows:  

     

    4 digit number expansion4 Digit number on abacus

     

    The above number pictures represent 4 -digit number place values and representation using the abacus. Each stem of the abacus can take 9 unit balls. So, the largest 4 digit number will be formed by placing 9 unit balls in each stem, i.e. 9999.

     

    Place value chart

     

     

    Each period has three place values

    Ones period: ones, tens, hundreds

    Thousands period: thousands, ten thousands and hundred thousands

    Millions period: millions, ten millions and hundred millions

    A million is a 7 digit number. The largest 7 digit number is 9999999.

    Grade 4 math study will not go beyond 1 million.

     

     

    We can add any two number with the help of the abacus which involved regrouping also.

    Now consider any two numbers;

    Step 1: represent the numbers on two different abacuses.

    Step 2: Transfer the beads from one abacus to another starting from the ones place and moving up to the highest place value, keeping in mind that 10 ones’ is equivalent to 1 ten; 10 tens’ is equivalent to 1 hundred and so on.

    Adding numbers on abacus

    In this example, the numbers at the one’s place are: 7(addend 1) +5 (addend 2) = 12,

    Now 12 = 10+2, thus, one bead is added to the ten’s place of the final sum and 2 beads are left in the one’s place

    Let’s move onto the ten’s place now, 1 (from carry of the one’s place) + 2 (addend 1) + 4(addend 2) = 7

    The numbers in the hundred’s place for both the addends = 6 (addend 1) + 2 (addend 2) = 8

    The numbers in the thousand’s place = 3 (addend 1) + 3 (addend 2) = 6

    Addend 1 has a digit at the ten thousand place whereas addend 2 is a 4 digit number, so taking it as 0 = 4

    Thus, the sum is = 4 6 8 7 2

     

     

     

    4 digit number partitioning

     

    Any number whether 4-digit or 7 digits can be split into parts according to its place value. For example;

     

    Expanding 4 digit number

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Place value cubes and unit cubes as a helpful math aid and teaching manipulative for solving an addition problem stated as per the core curriculum.

    Look at the example given below, where it is required to find the sum of two numbers 4655 and 2769. These numbers are first represented using place value cubes and then put together to form a sum.

    Mental math strategy: Partitioning the number        

    Suppose there is a math addition problem involving any two 3 digit numbers.  

    Say, for example, take a simple case of 3 digit addition with regrouping,

     

    455 +380

    Well in case of such a first trial would be to note down these two numbers on a piece of paper and start and start solving by adding one by one from the least place value digit.

    Another way can be doing the math sum mentally by applying simple mental math strategies without the help of any pen or paper.

    What are the two numbers?

    455 and 380,

    So now if 20 is added to 380 it makes to the nearest hundredth i.e. 400

    Thus, breaking a number into parts and then adding. Here the number 455 is broken into two parts (435 and 20) so that this 20 is added to 380 to make 400.

    This utilizes the associative property of addition.

     455 +380

    = (435+20) +380

    = 435 + (20 +380)

    = 435+400

    Now the addition of two numbers becomes simpler than before. Looking at different place values, in the addend, the tens and one’s place value is zero.

     

    435+400 = 835

    Is the final answer to the addition of 3 digit number problem?

    Isn’t it easy?

    Let’s try for a 4 digit number addition with regrouping.

     

     Numerical pattern

    In this math problem, the child learns to identify and generate a given number sequence or pattern.

    For example, given the rule “Add 3” and the starting number 1, generate terms in the resulting sequence and observe that the terms appear to alternate between odd and even numbers. Explain informally why the numbers will continue to alternate in this way.

    Kids investigate different patterns to find rules, identify features in the mathematical patterns, and justify the reason for those features.

     

    Example:

    Rule: Starting at 1, create a pattern that starts at 5 and adds each number by 5. Stop when you have 6 numbers

    In this math problem, the children use addition with the previous number to generate the next number and the

     

    Fraction addition with the same denominator  

    Step 1: Make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same.

    Step 2: Add the top numbers (the numerators), put the answer over the denominator.

    Step 3: Simplify the fraction (if needed)
