Grade 4 Mathematics GT

What Your Child Will Learn

The grade 4 G/T mathematics scope and sequence is designed so that more than 80% of instructional time is focused on major content. Standards have been organized into modules. 

Timing guidelines are recommended to guide weekly instruction. Specific decisions should be made based on the needs of students.
