Table below provides test specifications for the multiple-choice subtests of Grade 4 LEAP Mathematics assessments.

Expectations

• Read and write place value in word, standard, and expanded form through 1,000,000.

• Read, write, compare and order whole numbers using place value concepts, standard notation and models through 1,000,000.

• Know all basic facts for multiplication and division though 12 X12 and 144 / 12.

• Model, read and write, compare, order and represent fractions with denominators through twelfths, using pictures, models, and diagrams.

Expectations

• Give decimal equivalents of halves, fourths, and tenths• Estimate fractional amounts through twelfths,using pictures, models, and diagrams• Solve multiplication and division number sentences including interpreting remainders• Multiply 3-digit by 1-digit numbers, 2- digit by 2- digit numbers, and divide 3-digit numbers by1-digit numbers, with and without remainders

Expectations

• Write number sentences or formulas containing a variable to represent real-life problems• Use manipulatives to represent the distributiveproperty over addition to explain multiplying numbers• Solve one-step equations with whole number solutions• Select and use the appropriate standard unitsof measure, abbreviations, and tools to measure length and perimeter (i.e., in., cm., ft., yd., mile, m, km)

Expectations• Area (i.e., square inch, square foot, square

centimeter), capacity (i.e. fl. oz., cup, pt., qt., gal., l, ml), weight/ mass (i.e., oz, lb., g, kg, ton,), and volume (i.e., cubic cm cubic in.)

• Use unit conversions with in the same system to solve real-life problems (e.g., 60 sec. = 1 min. , 12 objects = 1 dozen, 12 in. = 1 ft., 100 cm = 1m, 1pt. = 2 cups

• Draw, identify, and classify angles that are acute, right and obtuse

Expectations• Analyze, describe, interpret and construct

various types of charts and graphs using appropriate titles axis labels, scales, and legends

• Identify missing elements in a number pattern
