Modeling is very important at this stage of understanding. You might see multiplication and division shown through equal sized groups, arrays and area models. Fractions: Your child will begin to develop an understanding of fractions, beginning with unit fractions and using visual fraction models to represent a part of a whole. Third and fourth graders find equivalent fractions, order fractions and compare fractions, as well as adding and subtracting fractions with common denominators.
Students will be identifying fractions that are equal to, less than, and greater than one. Students will solve measurement problems using mass and volume in third and fourth grade. Third and fourth graders learn to tell time to the nearest minute and solve problems using elapsed time. Students are exposed to general methods and strategies to recognize and generate equivalent fractions, and learn to compare fractions with different numerators and different denominators.
Students start to operate on fractions, learning how to add fractions with like denominators and multiply a whole number by any fraction. Students build their competencies in measurement, relating multiplication to the conversion of measurement units and exploring strategies for solving measurement problems.
Students are introduced to the more abstract concepts of points, lines, line segments, rays, and angles, as they learn to measure angles and then analyze shapes by their angles and lines of symmetry.

This is challenging, but showing work helps kids understand why math works the way it does. In fourth grade, kids learn to use a lot of math visuals and models to help them understand math. For example, for two- and three-digit multiplication problems, kids have to model the answer.
They may be asked to use techniques like area models, box multiplication, equal sized groups, and arrays. The purpose of these visual models is to help kids see how a problem can be solved in multiple ways. But some kids have a harder time with visual information. And they may not see how these models can help them organize their work. Families: See more examples of the models kids learn in fourth grade. Educators: Learn more about visual representation and other elements of evidence-based instruction.
Kids are learning new, more difficult material. This can make helping your child a little tricky. If your child is having a hard time with math in fourth grade, talk with the teacher.
They can help you figure out where your child needs help. If your child is having a hard time with a specific math model, ask the teacher for an example to follow. Students in fourth grade are developing an understanding of both large numbers and numbers less than 1, like fractions and decimals. In fourth grade, students will compare two decimals to the hundredths place.
