Thanks for requesting a sample of our new Common Core Teacher Editions. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you in building successful math students.

This booklet is a sample Common Core Standards Teacher Edition for Grade 4 (Table of Contents and first 10 lessons). As other grade level samples become available, you will be able to download them from our website: www.excelmath.com/downloads/state_stds.html

Here are some highlights of our new Common Core Teacher Editions:

1. The Table of Contents will indicate Lessons that go further than Common Core (CCS) concepts. There is a star next to lessons that are “an accelerated Excel Math concept that goes beyond Common Core Standards for Grade 4 but may be required by some states.” With this information, teachers can choose to teach the concept or skip it.

2. For each Lesson Plan (each day) we are changing the “Objective” to “Common Core Objective” (see lesson # 1). On days where lessons are not directly related to CCS, we will offer instruction for the teacher to alter what they do for the Lesson of the Day so they can still teach a Common Core concept. The Objective on those days will look like this (see Lesson #5):

ObjectiveStudents will distinguish between combinations and probability and will interpret information given in pie graphs.Common Core AlternativeActivity #12 Perimeter and Area (on page A24 in the back of this Teacher Edition) may be used instead of the lesson part of the Student Sheet. Have students complete the Guided Practice. There is no Homework on 5th day lessons. --

3. Within Guided Practice when a non CCS concept is one of the practice problems, we will indicate it with the star again. (See Answer Key for Lesson #5, Guided Practice Boxes C and D)

4. On Test Days (see Test #2) we indicate with a star non CCS concepts being assessed.

We are in the very early stages of creating these CCS Teacher Editions. When each one is released, we will have an announcement on our website. Our goal is to have as many grades ready by the fall 2013 as pos-sible (focusing on grades 2-5 first, and then grades K-1 and 6). The student sheets are now ready to ship.

In the meantime, you can find updates plus additional downloads on our website (manipulatives, Mental Math, placement tests in English and Spanish, and lots more): www.excelmath.com/tools.html

Please give us a call at 1-866-866-7026 (between 8:30 - 4:00 Monday through Friday West Coast time)if you have questions about these new Excel Math Common Core Editions.

Cordially,

The Excel Math Team

Lesson 1

Common Core ObjectiveStudents will write 4-digit numbers showing place value.

Students will add 4 four-digit numbers with regrouping.

Students will subtract three-digit numbers.

Students will solve multi-step word problems.

PreparationNo special preparation is required.

Lesson PlanThe first 20 or so lessons in each grade are primarily review from the previous grade. If your students have difficulty during these lessons, slow down. Teach the Lesson and do half of the Guided Practice. The next day, do the rest of Guided Practice.

Draw 4 horizontal lines on the board to represent the ones to thousands places. Put a comma between the hundreds and thousands place.

Distribute the Lesson Sheets. Go through problems #1 – #4. Have a student come forward to fill in the four places while another writes an addition problem as shown on the Lesson. On problems #3 - #4, point out the zero serves as a place holder. This lesson illustrates the concept of cardinal numbers.

Do problems #5 – #12 together with the class. As they do the word problems they should write the equation they used to find the answer. Answers should be labeled. Read through the word problems with them, following your time of teaching the concepts in the Lesson.

Write problems #13 and #14 on the board. Show the class how to rewrite each problem in vertical form.

Explain the CheckAnswer on the right side of the Lesson Sheet. If you have a Fourth Grade Projectable Lesson CD (see page i16) or an overhead projector or document camera, it will be easier to point out the CheckAnswer process.

We assume students can add and subtract with regrouping and understand the terms addend (a number added) and subtrahend (a number subtracted). Briefly review these concepts. Use the extra addition and subtraction problems on the right side of Lessons 2 and 3 if the class needs extra practice. If students have difficulty with regrouping or addition and subtraction basic facts, spend some time during the next few weeks working on these concepts.

Problems connected with the lesson are numbered, while Homework and Guided Practice sections have letters.

Stretch 1Most lessons have a Stretch—a problem of the day that stretches thinking skills. Write the problem on the board in the morning. Reward students who find an answer before you reveal the solution at the end of the day. There may be multiple solutions.

Tim, Shari, Karen and Juan all got to school before 8:30 in the morning. Tim was not second or last. Shari arrived earlier than Juan. Karen was the first to get to school. What is the order that they arrived at school?

Answer: Karen, Shari, Tim, Juan

Lesson 2

Common Core ObjectiveStudents will subtract three-digit numbers with regrouping.

PreparationFor each student: Hundreds Exchange Board and Ones, Tens and Hundreds Pieces (masters on pages M14 - M16).

Lesson PlanStart with Lesson problem #1. Ask students to represent each number several different ways on their exchange board. For example, 320 might be shown as:

3 hundreds + 2 tens = 320;2 hundreds + 12 tens = 320; 2 hundred + 11 tens + 10 ones = 320

Write the following notation on the board for each representation.

3 2 0 = 3 2 0 = 3 2 0/ / / / /2 12 2 1110

Show with addition problems that all 3 of these representations are the same number.

Ask “If you want to subtract 146 from the number that has been represented, which choices would be the easiest to use? Why?” (The third choice because there are both tens and ones from which to subtract.)

Ask a student to come forward and write a problem on the board using regrouping notation. Show how they can confirm the answer by adding their answer (difference) to the number subtracted (subtrahend). The sum that they get will equal the original minuend if their answer is correct.

Problems #2 – #9 do not appear on the students’ Lesson Sheets. Please read these problems aloud, so your students get practice setting up problems themselves. We will ask you to do this about once every 10-15 lessons.

For each problem #2 – #9, give the students the minuend and have them display the number with their pieces on their exchange boards. Next, write the number on the board that they are to subtract from the minuend.

Without using pencil and paper, they are to regroup the pieces on their exchange boards so that they can subtract. Ask “Why it is important to start with the ones place?” (They may need to regroup more than once.)

Have them use their pieces to add the subtrahend back to their answer to see if their answer is correct. Ask a student to come forward and write the problem on the board showing regrouping notation.

Additional problems are provided on the right of the page if your students need more practice regrouping.

Stretch 2Marie, Sue, Rhonda and Clara are different heights. Sue is taller than Clara. Rhonda is not taller than Sue. Marie is not the tallest or the shortest. Clara is not the shortest. Arrange the names in order from tallest to shortest.

Answer: Sue, Marie, Clara, Rhonda

When regrouping with subtraction, be sure to show your work. A subtractionproblem can be checked by adding your answer (the difference) to thenumber that was subtracted (the subtrahend). If your subtraction answeris correct, the result will equal the number you started with (the minuend).

Check your answers to each of these problems.

Lesson 3

Common Core ObjectiveStudents will recognize any number word less than 1,000.

PreparationFor each student: Hundreds Exchange Board and Ones, Tens and Hundreds Pieces (masters on pages M14 - M16).

Lesson PlanHave the students represent 3 hundreds, 4 tens and 2 ones with their place value pieces on their exchange boards. Write the following problem:

100100100

10101010

1+ 1

This process will be a prelude to expanded notation. Add the numbers and write the answer. Explain that since you have 3 hundreds, 100 is written three times. 10 is written 4 times. 1 is written 2 times. Ask them what the number is. (342)

Next, tell them to represent 6 ones and 5 hundreds on their boards. Write the following problem:

100100100100100

11111

+ 1

Ask if the answer came out in the same order that it was given. (No.)

No matter what order the places are given, when the number is written or represented, the hundreds are on the left, the tens are in the center and the ones are on the right for a three-digit number. Ask them what the number is. (506.)

Show that these two examples can also be written:

30040

+ 2 and 6

+ 500

Ask if they agree and why. Go through#1 – #9 with the class. Have the students explain in their own words the importance of the zeros.

Stretch 3Write an addition problem of single digit numbers that add to 23 without using a 1, 5 or 8.

Answer: 9 + 7 + 4 + 3 = 23

Lesson 4

Common Core ObjectiveStudents will use deductive reasoning to solve word problems.

Students will solve additive comparison and multiplicative comparison word problems.

PreparationNo special preparation is required.

Lesson PlanGo through #1 and #2 with the class. For each of these problems there is a sentence that reveals the position of the students.

In the first problem, it is the second sentence. Since Haley finished between the other two, she must have been second. The third sentence states that Jared wasn’t first, so he must have been third.

In the second problem, the second sentence says Cameron is older than Alexander. Draw a vertical line above Cameron that is higher than one over Alexander.

In the third sentence we read that Thomas is younger than Alexander. Therefore, the line over Thomas should be shorter than the one over Alexander. Thomas’ line is the shortest, so Thomas is the youngest. Ask the students who the oldest is.

If you have time, let your students try an additive comparison (and a multiplicative comparison). Write this word problem on the board:

Diego has 3 apples and Karen has 5 apples. How many more apples does Karen have?

Let a volunteer explain the equation: 5 - 3 = 2

Karen has two more apples than Diego.

Next write the following word problem on the board:

Karina can pick three times as many peaches in 20 minutes as her brother Tim. Karina can pick 42 peaches in 20 minutes. Altogether, how many peaches can they pick in 20 minutes?

Use a tape diagram to show how many peaches each person picked.

Karina = 42 peaches (42 = 3 x Tim)

Tim = 42 ÷ 3 = 1242 (K) + 12 (Tim) = their total = 54

Multiplicative comparisons focus on comparing two quantities by showing that one quantity is a specified number of times larger or smaller than the other. A simple way to remember this is “How many times as much?”

The letter on the right side of the paper should be signed by each student’s parent or guardian.

Stretch 4Draw the following squares on the board or form them with toothpicks, crayons, pencils, etc. Ask students to remove 1 line to form 3 squares. The “X” on the diagram indicates the line that needs to be removed.

X

Karina = 42 peaches

Haley, Jared and Aaron ran in a race. Haley finished between Jared and Aaron. Jared wasn't first. In what order did they finish the race?

Alexander, Cameron and Thomas are brothers. Cameron is older than Alexander. Thomas is younger than Alexander. Who is the youngest?

From the second sentence we know that Haley came in second.

Drawing lines is a helpful way to keep track of the comparisons. Fromthe second sentence we know that Cameron is older than Alexander,so his line is longer than Alexander's.

From the third sentence we know that Thomas is younger thanAlexander, so his line is shorter than Alexander's.

Thomas is the youngest.

From the third sentence we know that Jared wasn't first, so he must have been last. Therefore, Aaron must have been first.

Using deductive reasoning to solve a story problemDear Parents,

You can help your child by getting involved with homework. You maynot always have time to help, but just showing an interest may reallymotivate your child.

The problems on the back of this lesson sheet were done in class.The children check their work by adding the answers of two or moreproblems then comparing the result to the CheckAnswer that weprovide above and to the right of the problem.

Sometimes we find children will add the answers incorrectly rather thanask for help. If parents and teachers work together, we can help thechild learn the value of asking for help now, rather than being satisfiedwith a wrong answer.

Homework is available four nights a week, and will be located on thelesson sheet where this letter appears starting with Lesson 6. Whenever you have the time, please check to see that the answers on your child's homework are added correctly and the calculations are shown.

With your assistance, I look forward to a successful year in mathematics.Please contact me if you need any clarification of our math program.

Sincerely,

I have read this letter and I will do my best to help at home.

Lesson 5

ObjectiveStudents will distinguish between combinations and probability and will interpret information given in pie graphs.

Common Core AlternativeActivity #12 Perimeter and Area (problems #1-3 on page A24 in the back of this Teacher Edition) may be used instead of the lesson part of the Student Sheet. Have students complete the Guided Practice. There is no Homework on 5th day lessons.

PreparationFor the entire class: A package of jellybeans

Lesson PlanCombinations are the variety of ways that different objects can be placed into sets. Probability is the likelihood that a certain combination will appear under random conditions. Start by listing possible combinations. Don’t worry about the order of the items. As we teach combinations, we consider a scoop of vanilla ON TOP the same as a scoop ON THE BOTTOM.

Distribute the lesson sheets and do the first 5 problems together. Ask the class if they think there are any more possible combinations of what Caleb might wear. (No.) Are there more possible ways to combine 3 kinds of ice cream? (No.)

Once they understand combinations, move to probability. Probability is the number of times a particular set will randomly occur out of the total number of combinations. A pie graph visually shows how a quantity of items is related to other items, so it is useful when describing probability.

Pour your jellybeans onto a piece of paper.

Group identical colors together. Mark the center and draw a circle around the outside. Draw straight lines from the center to the circle, separating each color. Write down the color and number of jellybeans in each section.

Put all the jellybeans in a bag and ask, “If I close my eyes and take out a jellybean, which is the most likely color? Least likely?” Discuss probability. The “chances” of one color being chosen are compared to the “chances” for another color. The probability of choosing a red jellybean is described as the number of red jellybeans OUT OF the total number of jellybeans. (Later, we will show this as a fraction, such as 1/12.)

Write the numbers for each of the colors your jellybeans on the board. The color with the most beans has the highest probability of being chosen. The one with the fewest has the lowest probability. Even the highest probability does not mean that an item will definitely be chosen.

Go to the pie chart on the Lesson Sheet. The probability that Olivia would take out ANY jellybean is 10 out of 10 (certain). A yellow jellybean has the highest probability with 4 out of 10 chances. The probability of getting a purple jellybean is 0 out of 10 (impossible) because there are no purple jellybeans. Finish the problems together.

Stretch 5Ann and Jerry have 12 dogs. Ann has 6 more dogs than Jerry. How many dogs do they each have?

Answer: Find 2 numbers with sum of 12 (1st clue) and difference of 6 (2nd clue). Ann has 9 dogs. Jerry has 3 dogs.

Melanie wants an ice cream cone with two scoops. She can choose chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream. What different combinations can be made? In this example, we do not care which flavor is on the top or bottom.

green shirt + white shorts - GW

white shirt + white shorts - WW

green shirt + black shorts - GB

white shirt + black shorts - WB

We use the word probability to describe how likely it is that a person will choose one combination instead of another. The choice must be random, or made by accident,like pulling from a bag without looking or putting on your socks in the dark.

Create A Problem IntroductionOur back-of-test problems help students integrate math and writing skills. The stories are designed so your students can observe, analyze and participate in the stories. Several consecutive stories may be related, so they might occasionally need to think back to what they did a week ago.

This page may be used as a continuation of the test if your students are comfortable with reading and solving word problems.

If you think students might need some assistance in working with a large block of text and finding many numbers to extract, do this as a separate activity.

Create A Problem 1Numerical values in the stories are shown in bold type. Students should review the story, filling in the numbers in the blanks at the bottom of the story before answering the questions.

Encourage students to show their work for the word problems. Let them share how they solved each problem so they can begin to understand that there may be different ways to correctly solve some problems.

The question(s) they write should be about the people in the story who are walking together – not about walking in general.

Sample problems are provided for most stories so you can give the students an indication of the kind of things they might ask.

The questions and problems will become more difficult as the year progresses.

The Walking Club Alissa decided to join a walking club. She and seven friends went walking every day after school for exercise. Each week they took a different route so they could see a variety of areas in their city. The first week they walked two miles each day. The club leader chose a path that connected three different parks. They crossed five small bridges and took a rest break under a fifty-foot high oak tree. There were many things for them to see and talk about. One day Susan brought her two dogs. At the first parkthere were four other dogs. At the second park there werethree dogs. In the third park there were eight dogs plus threepuppies. It was hard for the walkers to keep up their pacebecause Susan's dogs wanted to play with the puppies. Theclub leader asked Susan to leave her dogs at home next time. When they had finished walking, Alissa and two friendswent into her backyard. They drank ice water and restedunder a forty-foot high maple tree.

Write a story problem from the information in the story and answer your question.

Lesson 6

Common Core ObjectiveStudents will complete number sequences when counting by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10.

PreparationFor the entire class: Number Chart (master on page M10)

Lesson PlanBefore distributing the Lesson Sheets, read aloud the 4 numbers in problem #1. Ask the class if you are counting in a decreasing or increasing direction. Draw an arrow pointing down.

Read the numbers again and have the students put a counter on each number on their number charts. Ask them by what number they are counting.

Write on the board counting by 10. Next, have the class count by ten to identify the next number in the sequence.

For problem #2, after they have chosen arrow up or down, have the students move their 4 counters so that they are on the new numbers. Then ask if the set is counting by 10 again. (No.)

Write on the board, counting by ___. Have the class tell you the missing number. (5)

Distribute the Lesson Sheets and go through #3 – #6 with the class. Ask students to discover the differences between the numbers in each sequence.

Ask if the differences are the same in each sequence. What will be the next two numbers in the sequence?

For Guided Practice I, ask the students to print the number on the line that indicates the fruit in the largest section, if you have not taught probability. Do the same for Guided Practice J. Then ask the students to count how many sections on the spinner have G for the first blank and how many total sections are on the spinner for the second.

Use the Guided Practice portion of your math lesson to ask students to “explain their thinking.” Adapt your lesson to the needs of your class. If your students are having difficulty with a concept, take time to practice that concept or reteach it the next day before moving on to the next lesson.

For additional practice with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division (or a combination of all four), refer students to our Online Timed Basic Fact Practice:www.excelmath.com/practice.html

Stretch 6Using the digits 1 - 9 only once, make up three addition problems, each made up of 3 one-digit numbers with equal sums.

Answer:

1 + 5 + 9 = 15

2 + 7 + 6 = 15

3 + 4 + 8 = 15

Lesson 7

Common Core ObjectiveStudents will recognize any number word less than 10,000 and will apply their understanding of place value.

PreparationFor each student: a lined piece of paper

Lesson PlanBefore distributing the Lesson Sheets, tell the students that you are going to write a number on the board but do not say the number out loud. Use problems #1 – #8 as your examples.

Students should rewrite the number on their papers, then write the number in terms of place value and then write the number words. For example,

2,005

and

2 thousands and 5 ones

and

two thousand, five

When most have finished, have one student who has done the problem correctly write the answer on the board. When the students are finished, let them do #2 – #8 on their own.

For Guided Practice G, ask the students to print the number on the line that is in the largest section on the spinner, if you have not taught probability.

Stretch 7Draw the grid shown below on the board, without the numbers. Tell the students that they are to use the digits 0 – 9, but they can only use a digit once.

They should arrange the digits so that the sums of the rows and the columns all add to 14.

9 0 5

4 8 2

1 7

There may be more than one solution. Before they start, ask them if they will be able to use all ten digits? (No, because there are 10 digits but places only for 8.)

Lesson 8

Common Core ObjectiveStudents will use the symbols “<” and “>”.

Students will arrange 4 four-digit numbers in order.

PreparationNo special preparation is required.

Lesson PlanBefore distributing the Lesson Sheets, write 2,801 and 2,534 on the board. Ask a student to come forward and put notations between the numbers—two dots next to the larger number and one dot next to the smaller number.

2,801 2,534

Next, connect the one dot to each of the two dots.

What you have now is a sideways “V.” The point of the “V” points to the smaller (in value) of the two numbers.

The number sentence is read “2,801 is greater than 2,534.”

Repeat the above process with 7 or 8 pairs of numbers. If they are having trouble with the symbols, have them repeat the process with the dots.

Have one of the students give you 3 four-digit numbers that are less than 10,000. Write them on the board but not in order from least to greatest. Ask a student to come forward and rewrite the numbers in order from least to greatest.

Have the students explain how they know the order is correct. (The values in the thousands place are looked at first and compared, then the hundreds and so on down to the ones.) Do this 3 or 4 times.

Next, give 3 or 4 more examples, but this time they are to put the numbers in order from greatest to least.

Explain that this Lesson Sheet’s questions will ask, for example, which number is second. They are to select the number that is second in the correct order, not second in the original set.

Go through #1 – #7 with the class.

Stretch 8Three consecutive numbers that add to 6 are 1, 2 and 3 (1 + 2 + 3 = 6). What three consecutive numbers add to 141?

Answer: 46, 47 and 48 (46 + 47 + 48 = 141)

Lesson 10

Common Core ObjectiveStudents will evaluate information given in a word problem.

Students will identify what information is needed to complete a word problem.

PreparationNo special preparation is required.

Lesson PlanDistribute the Lesson Sheets. Do #1– #3 together. Read each problem with them and ask what information they need in order to answer the question.

If there is not enough information have them select “not enough information.” Ask the students what information they need to answer the question.

For the example, they need to know how many brothers Isabel and Fred have. That information was not given for Isabel.

If there is enough information, they should select “enough information” and if possible write an equation with the solution.

Go through #1 – #3 with the class. On their worksheets, a number will be provided next to the choices to be used to add the CheckAnswer.

For #4 – #7, read each problem and then have them evaluate each choice to see if it will provide the information that is needed to answer the question.

For example, on problem #4:

a. how long he sailed will not help with trying to determine how far he sailed.

b. how far he sailed will help determine the answer.

c. when he started to sail will not help with trying to determine how far he sailed.

The correct choice is b. Show students the equation that solves the problem.

When these problems appear on their Lesson Sheets, they should try to write the equation that would be used to answer the question. This demonstrates that they understand the concept. Writing the equation may be very difficult for some of your students. Each time the problems appear, you might want to do the writing of the equation portion together.

b. how far he sailed each day

c. when he started to sail

a. total number of points on the test

b. words her friend got wrong

c. Morgan's points

Ed sailed on his boat every day for a week. What information is needed to findout how far he sailed in all?

Morgan scored 5 more points than her friend on a spelling test. Whatinformation is needed to find out the points her friend received?

The correct choice is b.(how far he sailed each day) x 7 = how far he sailed for the week

The answer is A because we are told howmany glasses they each drank.

The answer is B because we are not told how longit took Amber to ride her bike to school.

The answer is A because we are told how many hits Seth had and from that number we can determine the answer.

(Morgan's points) - 5 = the points her friend received

(the amount of money he gave the clerk) - $1.43 = his change

63¢ + 80¢ = $1.43

(the total number of movies) - 24 = the number of movies in the other box

For Problem 15, if your students have not yet been taught probability, have them circle the letter in the smallest space on the spinner. Then for problem 17, have them print the number of birds on the first blank line and the total number of pets on the second blank line.

Record students’ identification numbers, and the number of problems missed. Use tally marks to record how many students missed a particular question. This will help you review problems missed by a number of students.

Create A Problem 2Our back-of-test problems help students integrate math and writing skills. The stories are designed so your students can observe, analyze and participate in the stories. Several consecutive stories may be related, so they might occasionally need to think back to what they did a week ago.

This page may be used as a continuation of the test if your students are comfortable with reading and solving word problems.

If you think they might need some assistance in working with a large block of text and finding many numbers to extract, do this as a separate activity.

In this story, the question they write should be about the people who are in the walking club, and not walking or cousins in general.

If Ken competed in 25meets last year, howmany of them did Alissa miss?

Getting to Know Each Other

Alissa's walking club went three miles per day on their second week,

four miles a day the third week and five miles a day the fourth week. Besides

getting good exercise, they talked a lot and learned about each other.

Alissa told Marianne about her seven cousins. Two of them are boys. Her

cousin Ken is on a swim team. Alissa saw Ken compete fourteen times last year.

At the last swim meet, he won two races. In the final race Ken came in second.

The boy who finished ahead of him was only two seconds faster.

Marianne said she and her brother Will have eleven cousins. Five of the

cousins are girls and six are boys. They all live in the same town.

Nancy Jane is Marianne's oldest cousin. She has

been playing piano for three years. She practices 45

minutes every day, after her walking exercise. Last

month she played in four different recitals. She gives

Will piano lessons for 30 minutes a day.
