Grade 4 Module 1
Place Value, Rounding, and Algorithms
for Addition and Subtraction
OVERVIEW
In this 25-day module of Grade 4, students extend their work with whole numbers. They begin with large
numbers using familiar units (hundreds and thousands) and develop their understanding of millions by
building knowledge of the pattern of times ten in the base ten system on the place value chart (4.NBT.1).
They recognize that each sequence of three digits is read as hundreds,
tens, and ones followed by the naming of the corresponding base
thousand unit (thousand, million, billion).
1

The place value chart will be fundamental in Topic A. Building upon
their previous knowledge of bundling, students learn that 10 hundreds
can be composed into 1 thousand and, therefore, 30 hundreds can be
composed into 3 thousands because a digits value is ten times what it
would be one place to its right (4.NBT.1). Conversely, students learn to
recognize that in a number such as 7,777 each 7 has a value that is 10
times the value of its neighbor to the immediate right. 1 thousand can
be decomposed into 10 hundreds, therefore 7 thousands can be
decomposed into 70 hundreds.
Similarly, multiplying by 10 will shift digits one place to the left, and dividing by 10 will shift digits one place to
the right.
3,000 = 300 x 10 3,000 10 = 300

In Topic B, students use place value as a basis for comparison of whole numbers. Although this is not a new
topic, it becomes more complex because the numbers are larger. For example, it becomes clear that 34,156
is 3 thousand greater than 31,156.

Comparison leads directly into rounding, where their skill with isolating units is applied and extended.
Rounding to the nearest ten and hundred was mastered with 3 digit numbers in Grade 3. Now Grade 4
students moving into Topic C learn to round to any place value (4.NBT.3) initially using the vertical number
line though ultimately moving away from the visual model altogether. Topic C also includes word problems
where students apply rounding to real life situations.

1
Grade 4 expectations in the NBT standards domain, however, are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

iii

In Grade 4, students become fluent with the standard algorithms for addition and subtraction. In Topics D
and E students focus on single like-unit calculations (ones with ones, thousands with thousands, etc.) at times
requiring the composition of greater units when adding (10 hundreds are composed into 1 thousand) and
decomposition into smaller units when subtracting (1 thousand is decomposed into 10 hundreds) (4.NBT.4).
Throughout these topics, students will apply their algorithmic knowledge to solve word problems. Also,
students use a variable to represent the unknown quantity.
The module culminates with multi-step word problems in Topic F (4.OA.3). Tape diagrams are used
throughout the topic to model additive compare problems like the one exemplified below. These diagrams
facilitate deeper comprehension and serve as a way to support the reasonableness of an answer.

A goat produces 5,212 gallons of milk a year. The cow produces
17,279 gallons a year. How much more milk does the goat need to
produce to make the same amount of milk as a cow?

The goat needs to produce _______ more gallons of milk a year.

The mid-module assessment will follow Topic C. The end-of-module assessment follows Topic F.

Focus Grade Level Standards
Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.

4.OA.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number
answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be
interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the
unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and
estimation strategies including rounding.
Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers. (Grade 4 expectations
are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.)
4.NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it
represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 70 = 10 by applying
concepts of place value and division.

Only addition and subtraction multi-step word problems are addressed in this module. The balance of this cluster is addressed in
Modules 3 and 7.

Foundational Standards
3.OA.8 Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using
equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of
answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.

3.NBT.1 Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.
3.NBT.2 Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value,
properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Focus Standards for Mathematical Practice
MP.1 Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Students use the place value chart
to draw diagrams of the relationship between a digits value and what it would be one place
to its right, for instance, by representing 3 thousands as 30 hundreds. Students also use the
place value chart to compare very large numbers.
MP.2 Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Students make sense of quantities and their
relationships as they use both special strategies and the standard addition algorithm to add
and subtract multi-digit numbers. Students also decontextualize when they represent
problems symbolically and contextualize when they consider the value of the units used and
understand the meaning of the quantities as they compute.
MP.3 Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Students construct
arguments as they use the place value chart and model single- and multi-step problems.
Students also use the standard algorithm as a general strategy to add and subtract multi-digit
numbers when a special strategy is not suitable.
MP.5 Use appropriate tools strategically. Students decide on the appropriatness of using special
strategies or the standard algorithm when adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers.
MP.6 Attend to precision. Students use the place value chart to represent digits and their values as
they compose and decompose base ten units.

3
The balance of this cluster is addressed in Modules 3 and 7.
4
This standard is limited to problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers; students should know how to
perform operations in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order, i.e., the Order of
Operations.

Suggested Methods of Instructional Delivery
Directions for Administration of Sprints
Sprints are designed to develop fluency. They should be fun, adrenaline-rich activities that intentionally build
energy and excitement. A fast pace is essential. During Sprint administration, teachers assume the role of
athletic coaches. A rousing routine fuels students motivation to do their personal best. Student recognition
of increasing success is critical, and so every improvement is celebrated.
One Sprint has two parts with closely related problems on each. Students complete the two parts of the
Sprint in quick succession with the goal of improving on the second part, even if only by one more.
With practice, the following routine takes about 8 minutes.

Sprint A
Pass Sprint A out quickly, face down on student desks with instructions to not look at the problems until the
signal is given. (Some Sprints include words. If necessary, prior to starting the Sprint quickly review the
words so that reading difficulty does not slow students down.)
T: You will have 60 seconds to do as many problems as you can.
T: I do not expect you to finish all of them. Just do as many as you can, your personal best. (If some
students are likely to finish before time is up, assign a number to count by on the back.)
T: Take your mark! Get set! THINK! (When you say THINK, students turn their papers over and work
furiously to finish as many problems as they can in 60 seconds. Time precisely.)
After 60 seconds:
T: Stop! Circle the last problem you did. I will read just the answers. If you got it right call out Yes!
and give a fist pump. If you made a mistake, circle it. Ready?
T: (Energetically, rapid-fire call the first answer.)
S: Yes!
T: (Energetically, rapid-fire call the second answer.)
S: Yes!
Repeat to the end of Sprint A, or until no one has any more correct. If need be, read the count by answers in
the same way you read Sprint answers. Each number counted by on the back is considered a correct answer.
T: Fantastic! Now write the number you got correct at the top of your page. This is your personal goal
for Sprint B.
T: How many of you got 1 right? (All hands should go up.)
T: Keep your hand up until I say the number that is 1 more than the number you got right. So, if you
got 14 correct, when I say 15 your hand goes down. Ready?
T: (Quickly.) How many got 2 correct? 3? 4? 5? (Continue until all hands are down.)
Optional routine, depending on whether or not your class needs more practice with Sprint A:
T: Ill give you one minute to do more problems on this half of the Sprint. If you finish, stand behind
your chair. (As students work you might have the person who scored highest on Sprint A pass out
Sprint B.)
T: Stop! I will read just the answers. If you got it right call out Yes! and give a fist pump. If you made
a mistake, circle it. Ready? (Read the answers to the first half again as students stand.)
Movement
To keep the energy and fun going, always do a stretch or a movement game in between Sprint A and B. For
example, the class might do jumping jacks while skip counting by 5 for about 1 minute. Feeling invigorated,
students take their seats for Sprint B, ready to make every effort to complete more problems this time.

Sprint B
Pass Sprint B out quickly, face down on student desks with instructions to not look at the problems until the
signal is given. (Repeat the procedure for Sprint A up through the show of hands for how many right.)
T: Stand up if you got more correct on the second Sprint than on the first.
S: (Students stand.)
T: Keep standing until I say the number that tells how many more you got right on Sprint B. So if you
got 3 more right on Sprint B than you did on Sprint A, when I say 3 you sit down. Ready? (Call out
numbers starting with 1. Students sit as the number by which they improved is called. Celebrate the
students who improved most with a cheer.)
T: Well done! Now take a moment to go back and correct your mistakes. Think about what patterns
you noticed in todays Sprint.
T: How did the patterns help you get better at solving the problems?
T: Rally Robin your thinking with your partner for 1 minute. Go!
Rally Robin is a style of sharing in which partners trade information back and forth, one statement at a time
per person, for about 1 minute. This is an especially valuable part of the routine for students who benefit
from their friends support to identify patterns and try new strategies.
Students may take Sprints home.
RDW or Read, Draw, Write (a Number Sentence and a Statement)
Mathematicians and teachers suggest a simple process applicable to all grades:
1) Read.
2) Draw and Label.
3) Write a number sentence (equation).
4) Write a word sentence (statement).
The more students participate in reasoning through problems with a systematic approach, the more they
internalize those behaviors and thought processes.
What do I see?
Can I draw something?
What conclusions can I make from my drawing?

Modeling with Interactive
Questioning
Guided Practice Independent Practice
The teacher models the whole
process with interactive
questioning, some choral
response, and talk moves such as
What did Monique say
everyone? After completing the
problem, students might reflect
with a partner on the steps they
used to solve the problem.
Students think back on what we
did to solve this problem. What
did we do first? Students might
then be given the same or similar
problem to solve for homework.
Each student has a copy of the
question. Though guided by the
teacher, they work indepen-
dently at times and then come
together again. Timing is
important. Students might hear,
You have 2 minutes to do your
drawing. Or, Put your pencils
down. Time to work together
again. The Debrief might include
selecting different student work
to share.
The students are given a problem
to solve and possibly a
designated amount of time to
solve it. The teacher circulates,
supports, and is thinking about
which student work to show to
support the mathematical
objectives of the lesson. When
sharing student work, students
are encouraged to think about
the work with questions such as,
What do you see Jeremy did?
What is the same about
Jeremys work and Saras work?
How did Jeremy show the /7 of
the students? How did Sara
show the /7 of the students?

Personal Boards
Materials Needed for Personal Boards
1 High Quality Clear Sheet Protector
1 piece of stiff red tag board x 8
piece of stiff white tag board x 8
x piece of dark synthetic cloth for an eraser
1 Low Odor Blue Dry Erase Marker: Fine Point
Directions for Creating Personal Boards
Cut your white and red tag to specifications. Slide into the sheet protector. Store your eraser on the red side.
Store markers in a separate container to avoid stretching the sheet protector.
Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Boards
Why is one side red and one white?
The white side of the board is the paper. Students generally write on it and if working individually
then turn the board over to signal to the teacher they have completed their work. The teacher then
says Show me your boards, when most of the class is ready.

What are some of the benefits of a personal board?
The teacher can respond quickly to a hole in student understandings and skills. Lets do some of
these on our personal boards until we have more mastery.
Student can erase quickly so that they do not have to suffer the evidence of their mistake.
They are motivating. Students love both the drill and thrill capability and the chance to do story
problems with an engaging medium.
Checking work gives the teacher instant feedback about student understanding.
What is the benefit of this personal board over a commercially purchased dry erase board?
It is much less expensive.
Templates such as place value charts, number bond mats, hundreds boards, and number lines can be
stored between the two pieces of tag for easy access and reuse.
Worksheets, story problems, and other problem sets can be done without marking the paper so that
students can work on the problems independently at another time.
Strips with story problems, number lines, and arrays can be inserted and still have a full piece of
paper to write on.
The red versus white side distinction clarifies your expectations. When working collaboratively,
there is no need to use the red. When working independently, the students know how to keep their
work private.
The sheet protector can be removed so that student work can be projected on an overhead.
Scaffolds
6

The scaffolds integrated into A Story of Units give alternatives for how students access information as well as
express and demonstrate their learning. Strategically placed margin notes are provided within each lesson
elaborating on the use of specific scaffolds at applicable times. They address many needs presented by
English language learners, students with disabilities, students performing above grade level, and students
performing below grade level. Many of the suggestions are organized by Universal Design for Learning (UDL)
principles and are applicable to more than one population. To read more about the approach to
differentiated instruction in A Story of Units, please refer to How to Implement A Story of Units.

Place Value of Multi-Digit Whole
Numbers
4.NBT.1, 4.NBT.2, 4.OA.1
Focus Standard: 4.NBT.1

Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times
what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 70 = 10 by
applying concepts of place value and division.
4.NBT.2 Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names,
and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits
in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
Instructional Days: 4
Coherence -Links from: G3M2 Place Value and Problem Solving with Units of Measure
-Links to: G5M1 Place Value and Decimal Fractions
In Topic A, students build the place value chart to 1 million and learn the relationship between each place
value as 10 times the value of the place to the right. Students manipulate numbers to see this relationship,
such as 30 hundreds can be composed as 3 thousands. Conversely students decompose numbers to see that
7 thousands is the same as 70 hundreds. As students build the place value chart into thousands and up to 1
million, the sequence of 3 digits will be emphasized. They become familiar with the base thousand unit
names up to 1 billion. Students fluently write numbers in multiple formats: as digits, in unit form, as words,
and in expanded form up to 1 million.

FOR ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
For the place value fluency drill,
students may represent ones, etc.,
using counters rather than drawing.
Others may benefit from the
opportunity to practice
simulataneously speaking and showing
units (e.g., tens).
Provide sentence frames to support
oral response, such as
_____tens_____ones is _____
(standard form) _____.

T: Say the number in standard form.
S: 44.
Continue for the following possible sequence: 2 tens 3 ones, 2 hundreds 3 ones, 2 thousands 3 hundreds, 2
thousands 3 tens, and 2 thousands 3 hundreds 5 tens and 4 ones.
Ben has a rectangular area 9 meters long and 6 meters wide. He
wants a fence that will go around it as well as grass sod to cover
it. How many meters of fence will he need? How many square
meters of grass sod will he need to cover the entire area?

Note: As the first lesson of the year, this application problem
reviews area and perimeter, multiplication, and additionall important concepts from Grade 3. This
problem can be extended after the Concept Development by asking students to find an area 10 times as
much as the grass sod, or to find a perimeter 10 times as wide and 10 times as long.

Materials: (T) Base ten disks: ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands (S) Personal white boards
Problem 1
1 ten is 10 times as many as 1 one.
T: (Have a place value chart ready. Draw or place 1 unit into the ones place.)
T: How many units do I have?
S: 1.
T: What is the name of this unit?
S: A one.
T: Count the ones with me. (Draw ones as they do so.)
S: 1 one, 2 ones, 3 ones, 4 ones, 5 ones...10 ones.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS OF
ENGAGEMENT:
Enhance the relevancy of the
Application Problem by substituting
names, settings, and tasks to reflect
your students and their experiences.
Set individual student goals and
expectations. While some students
may successfully solve for area and
perimeter in 5 minutes, others may
solve for one, while others may solve
for both and compose their own
Application Problem.

Lesson 1

Date: 6/28/13

1.A.5
T: 10 ones. What larger unit can I make?
S: 1 ten.
T: I change 10 ones for 1 ten. We say, 1 ten is 10 times as much as 1 one. Tell your partner what we
say and what that means. Use the model to help you.
S: 10 ones make 1 ten. 10 times 1 one is 1 ten or 10 ones. We say 1 ten is 10 times as many as 1
one.
Problem 2
One hundred is 10 times as much as 1 ten.
Quickly repeat the above process with 10 copies of 1 ten.
Problem 3
One thousand is 10 times as much as 1 hundred.
Quickly repeat the above process with 10 copies of 1 hundred.
T: Discuss the patterns you have noticed with your partner.
S: 10 ones makes 1 ten. 10 tens make 1 hundred.
10 hundreds make 1 thousand. Every time we get 10 we
bundle and make a bigger unit. We copy a unit 10 times
to make the next larger unit. If we take any of the place
value units, the next unit on the left is ten times as many.
T: Lets review the multiplication pattern that matches our
models and 10 times as many words.
Display the following information for student reference:
Problem 4
Model on the place value chart and as equations 10 times
as much as 2 ones.
Note: Number disks are used as models throughout the curriculum
and can be represented in two different ways. A disk with a value
labeled inside of it, such as in Problem 1, should be drawn or placed
on a place value chart with no headings. The value of the disk in its
appropriate column indicates the column heading. A number disk
drawn as a dot should be used on place value charts with headings, as
in Problem 4. The dot is a faster way to represent the number disk
and is used as students move further away from a concrete stage of
learning.
1 ten = 10 x 1 one (Read, as 1 ten is 10 times as much as 1 one.)
1 hundred = 10 x 1 ten (Say, 1 hundred is 10 times as much as 1 ten.)
1 thousand = 10 x 1 hundred (Say, 1 thousand is 10 times as much as 1 hundred.)

Lesson 1

T: Draw place value disks as dots. Because you are using
dots, label your columns with the unit value.
T: Represent 2 ones. Solve to find 10 times as many as 2
ones. Work together.
S: (Students work. Circulate as they do so.)
T: 10 times as many as 2 ones is?
S: 20 ones 2 tens.
T: Explain this number sentence to your partner using your
model.
10 2 ones = 20 ones = 2 tens
Repeat the process with 10 times as many as 4 tens.
10 4 tens = 40 tens = 4 hundreds
Problem 5
Model as an equation 10 times as many as 7 hundreds.
T: Write an equation and solve for 10 times as many as 7 hundreds.
Circulate and assist students as necessary.
T: Show me your boards. Read your equation.
S: 10 times 7 hundreds equals 70 hundreds equals 7 thousands.
10 7 hundreds = 70 hundreds = 7 thousands
Problem Set (10 minutes)
Students should do their personal best to complete the
Problem Set within the allotted 10 minutes. Some
problems do not specify a method for solving. This is an
intentional reduction of scaffolding that invokes MP.5,
Use Appropriate Tools Strategically. Students should
solve these problems using the RDW approach used for
Application Problems.
For some classes, it may be appropriate to modify the
assignment by specifying which problems students
should work on first. With this option, let the careful
sequencing of the Problem Set guide your selections so
that problems continue to be scaffolded. Balance word
problems with other problem types to ensure a range of
practice. Assign incomplete problems for homework or
at another time during the day.
Challenge quick finishers to write their own 10 times as
many statements similar to Problems 2 and 5.

Lesson 1

1.A.7
Lesson Objective: Interpret a multiplication equation as a
comparison.
Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem
Set and the totality of the lesson experience. They should
check work by comparing answers with a partner before
going over answers as a class. Look for misconceptions or
misunderstandings that can be addressed in the Debrief.
Guide students in a conversation to debrief the Problem
Set. You may choose to use any combination of the
questions below to lead the discussion.
What relationship do you notice between the
problem of Matthews stamps and 1(a) and 1(b)?
How did Problem 1(c) help you to solve Problem
4 about Janes savings?
In Problem 5 which solution proved most difficult
to find? Why?
How does the answer about Sarahs age and her
grandfathers age relate to our lessons
objective?
What are some ways you could model 10 times as many? What are the benefits and drawbacks of
each way of modelling? (Money, base ten materials, disks, labeled drawings of disks, dots on a
labeled place value chart, tape diagram.)
Take 2 minutes to explain to your partner what we learned about the value of each unit as we move
from right to left.
Write and complete the following statements in your math journal:

_____ ten is _____ times as many as _____ one

_____ hundred is _____ times as many as _____ ten

_____ thousand is _____ times as many as _____ hundred

Exit Ticket (3 minutes)
After the Student Debrief, instruct students to complete the Exit Ticket. A review of their work will help you
assess the students understanding of the concepts that were presented in the lesson today and plan more
effectively for future lessons. You may read the questions aloud to the students.

Skip-Counting 3.OA.7 (4 minutes)
Multiply by 10 4.NB5.1 (4 minutes)
Skip Counting (4 minutes)
Note: Practicing skip-counting on the number line builds a foundation for accessing higher order concepts
throughout the year.
Direct students to count by threes forward and backward to 36, focusing on the crossing-ten transitions.
Example: (3, 6, 9, 12, 9, 12, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 27, 30, 33, 30, 33, 30, 33, 36) The purpose of
focusing on crossing the ten transitions is to help students to make the connection that, for example, when
adding 3 to 9 that 9 + 1 is 10 and then 2 more is 12.
We see a similar purpose in counting down by threes; 12 2 is 10 and subtracting 1 more is 9. This work
builds on the fluency work of previous grade levels. Students should understand that when crossing the tens
that they, in essence, are regrouping.
Direct students to count by fours forward and backward to 48, focusing on the crossing ten transitions.
Materials: (S) Personal white boards with a place value chart to thousands
Note: Reviewing and practicing place value skills in isolation will prepare students for success in multiplying
different place value units during the lesson.

Lesson 2

T: (Project place value chart to the thousands place.) Show 5 tens in number disks and write the
number below it.
Students draw 5 ten disks, write 5 below it and 0 in the ones column. (Draw to correct student
misunderstanding.)
S: 5 tens.
S: 50.
Continue for the following possible sequence: 3 tens 2 ones, 4 hundreds 3 ones, 1 thousand 2 hundreds, 4
thousands 2 tens, 4 thousands 2 hundreds 3 tens and 5 ones.
Multiply by 10 (4 minutes)
Materials: (S) Personal white boards
Note: This fluency will review concepts learned in Lesson 1.
T: (Project 10 ones x 10 = 1 ______.) Fill in the blank.
Students write 10 ones x 10 = 1 hundred.
T: Say the multiplication sentence in standard form.
S: 10 x 10 = 100.
Repeat for the following possible sequence 10 x _____ = 2 hundreds; 10 x _____ = 3 hundreds; 10 x ______ =
7 hundreds;
10 x 1 hundred = 1 _______; 10 x ____ = 2 thousands; 10 x ______ = 8 thousands;
10 x 10 thousands = ______.

Lesson 2

Date: 6/28/13

1.A.17
Problem 1
Multiply single units by 10 to build the place value chart to 1 million. Divide to reverse the process.
T: On your board, write the multiplication sentence that shows the relationship between 1 hundred
and 1 thousand.
S: (Students write: 10 1 hundred = 10 hundreds = 1 thousand.)
T: Draw number disks on your place value chart to find
the value of 10 times 1 thousand.
T: (Circulate.) I saw that Tessa drew 10 disks in the
thousands column. What does that represent?
S: 10 times 1 thousand equals 10 thousand.
(10 1 thousand = 10 thousand.)
T: How else can 10 thousand be represented?
S: 10 thousand can be bundled because when you have 10 of one unit, you can bundle it and move it to
the next column.
T: (Point to the place value chart.) Can anyone think what the name of our next column after the
thousands might be? (Students might share. Label the ten thousands column.)
T: Now write a complete multiplication sentence to show 10 times the value of 1 thousand.
Show how you regroup.
10 1 thousand = 10 thousand = 1 ten thousand
T: On your place value chart, show what 10 times the
value of 1 ten thousand equals.
T: What is 10 times 1 ten thousand?
S: 10 ten thousands. 1 hundred thousand.
T: That is our next larger unit.
10 1 ten thousand = 10 ten thousands = 1 hundred thousand
T: To move another column to the left, what would be my
next 10 times statement?
S: 10 times 1 hundred thousand.
T: Solve to find 10 times 1 hundred thousand.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS OF
REPRESENTATION:
Scaffold student understanding of the
place value pattern by recording the
following sentence frames:
10 x 1 one is 1 ten
10 x 1 ten is 1 hundred
10 x 1 hundred is 1 thousand
10 x 1 thousand is 1 ten thousand
10 x 1 ten thousand is 1 hundred
thousand
Students may benefit from speaking
this pattern chorally. Deepen
understanding with prepared visuals
(perhaps using a SMART board).

Lesson 2

Date: 6/28/13

1.A.18
T: 10 hundred thousands can be bundled and represented as 1 million. Title your column and write
the multiplication sentence.
10 1 hundred thousand = 10 hundred thousands = 1 million
After having built the place value chart by multiplying by ten, quickly review the process simply moving from
right to left on the place value chart, and then reversing and moving left to right. (e.g., 2 tens times 10 equals
2 hundreds times 10 equals 2 thousands divided by 10 equals 2 hundreds divided by 10 equals 2 tens.)

Problem 2
Multiply multiple copies of one unit by 10 (e.g., 10 4 ten thousands).
T: Draw number disks and write a multiplication
sentence to show the value of 10 times 4 ten
thousands.
T: 10 times 4 ten thousands is?
S: 40 ten thousands. 4 hundred thousands.
T: Explain to your partner how you know this equation
is true.
10 4 ten thousands = 40 ten thousands = 4 hundred thousands
Repeat with 10 3 hundred thousands.

Problem 3
Divide multiple copies of one unit by 10: 2 thousands 10. Solve in unit form: 2 thousands 10
T: What is the process for solving this division equation?
S: Use a place value chart. Represent 2 thousands on a place value chart and then change for
smaller units so we can divide.
T: What would our place value chart look like if we changed
each thousand for 10 smaller units?
S: 20 hundreds. 2 thousands can be changed to be 20
hundreds because 2 thousands and 20 hundreds are
equal.
T: Solve for the answer.
S: 2 hundreds. 2 thousands 10 is 2 hundreds because 2
thousands unbundled becomes 20 hundreds. 20 hundreds divided by 10 is 2 hundreds.
2 thousands 10 = 20 hundreds 10 = 2 hundreds
Repeat with 3 hundred thousands 10.

Lesson 2

Problem 4
Multiply and divide multiple copies of two different units by 10.
T: Draw number disks to show 3 hundreds and 2 tens.
T: Work in pairs to solve (write) 10 (3 hundreds 2 tens).
T: I wrote (3 hundreds 2 tens) in parentheses to show it is one number.
Circulate as students work. Clarify that both hundreds and tens must be multiplied by 10.
T: What is your product?
S: 3 thousands 2 hundreds.
10 (3 hundreds 2 tens) = 3 thousands 2 hundreds = 3,200
T: How could we write this in standard form?
S: 3,200

(4 ten thousands 2 tens) 10
T: In this equation we have two units. Explain how you will find your answer.
S: We can use the place value chart again and represent the unbundled units, then divide.
(4 ten thousands 2 tens) 10 = 4 thousands 2 ones = 4,002
T: Watch as I represent numbers in the place value chart to multiply or divide by ten, instead of
drawing disks.

Repeat with 10 (4 thousands 5 hundreds) and (7 hundreds 9 tens) 10.

Is 10 times 6 tens the same as 6 times 10 tens?
(Use a place value chart to model.)
Is 10 times 10 times 6 the same as 10 tens times
6? (Use a place value chart to model 10 times 10
is the same as 1 ten times 1 ten.)
When we multiply or divide by 10 do we change
the digits or the unit? Make a few examples.

ON STANDARDS
ALIGNMENT:
In this lesson, students extend past 1
million (4.NBT standards limit whole
numbers less than or equal to 1 million)
to establish a pattern of ones, tens, and
hundreds within each base ten unit
(thousands, millions, billions, trillions).
Calculations in following lessons are
limited to less than or greater than 1
million.
If your students are not ready for this
step, you might omit establishing the
pattern, yet eternalize the units of base
thousand.

T: Thats right! Beginning with thousands, we start naming new place value units by how many one
thousands, ten thousands, and hundred thousands we have. What do you think the next unit
might be called after 1 million?
S: Ten millions.
T: (Extend chart to the ten millions.) And the next?
S: Hundred millions.
T: (Extend chart again.) Thats right! Just like with thousands, we name new units here in terms of
how many one millions, ten millions, and hundred millions we have. 10 hundred millions gets
renamed as 1 billion. Talk with your partner about what the next two place value units should be.
S: Ten billions, and hundred billions. It works just like it does for thousands and millions!
Problem 1
Placing commas in and naming 3,608,430,325.
T: Youve noticed a pattern: ones, tens and hundreds; one thousands, ten thousands, and hundred
thousands; one millions, ten millions, and hundred millions; and so on. We use commas to indicate
this grouping of units, taken 3 at a time. For example ten billion would be written: 10,000,000,000.
Write 3608430325.
T: Record this number in your place value chart and place the
commas to show our groupings of units.
T: (Show 430,325 on a place value chart.) How many thousands
are in this number?
S: 430.
T: 430 what?
S: 430 thousands.

Lesson 3

Students should do their personal best to complete the Problem Set
within the allotted 10 minutes. For some classes, it may be
appropriate to modify the assignment by specifying which problems
they work on first. Some problems do not specify a method for
solving. Students solve these problems using the RDW approach used
for Application Problems.
Lesson Objective: Name numbers within 1 million by
building understanding of the place value chart and
placement of commas for naming base thousand units.

Invite students to review their solutions for the Problem Set
and the totality of the lesson experience.
They should check work by comparing answers with a
partner before going over answers as a class. Look for
misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be addressed
in the Debrief. Guide students in a conversation to debrief
the Problem Set. You may choose to use any
combination of the questions below to lead the
discussion.
In Problem 1, how did you know where to place
commas within a number?
Read aloud the numbers in Problems 1(d) and
1(e) with your partner. What role do the
commas have as you read across the number?
How do place value understanding and the role
of commas help you to read the value in the
millions period that is represented by the
number of millions, ten millions, and hundred
millions?
What did you discover as you solved Problem 3?
How did part (a) help you to solve part (b)?
How did you use the place value chart to help
you compare unlike units in Problem 5?
When might it be useful to omit commas?
(Please refer to the UDL box for commas to
guide your discussion.)

NOTES ON
COMMAS:
Commas are optional for 4-digit
numbers, as this supports visualization
of the total amount of each unit. For
example in the number 3247, 32
hundreds or 324 tens is easier to
visualize when the number is written
as 3247 as opposed to 3,247. In Grade
3 students understand 324 as 324
ones, 32 tens 4 ones or 3 hundreds 2
tens 4 ones. This flexible thinking
allows for seeing simplifying short cuts.
(E.g., When solving 3247 623, many
students decompose 3 thousands
rather than subtracting 6 hundreds
from 32 hundreds. They might also
solve thinking, 32 hundreds 6
hundreds + 47 ones 23 ones is 26
hundreds and 24 ones or 2624.)

in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
Coherence -Links from: G2M3 Place Value, Counting, and Comparison of Numbers to 1000
In Topic B, students use place value to compare whole numbers. Initially using the place value chart, students
will compare the value of each digit to surmise which number is of greater value. Moving away from
dependency on models and towards fluency with numbers, students compare numbers by observing across
the entire number and noticing value differences. For example, in comparing 12,566 to 19,534, it is evident
that 19 thousand is greater than 12 thousand because of the meaning of the digits in the thousands.
Additionally, students continue with number fluency by finding what is 1, 10, or 100 thousand more or less
than a given number.
A Teaching Sequence Towards Mastery of Comparing Multi-Digit Whole Numbers
Objective 1: Compare numbers based on meanings of the digits, using >, <, or = to record the

S: Three thousand, ten. Two thousand, forty.
T: What is the name of the unit with the greatest value?
S: Thousands.
T: Compare the value of the thousands.
S: 3 thousand is greater than 2 thousand. 2 thousand is less
than 3 thousand.
T: Tell your partner what would happen if we only compared tens rather than the unit with the
greatest value.
S: We would say that 2,040 is greater than 3,010 but that isnt right. The number with more of the
largest unit being compared is greater. We dont need to compare the tens because the
thousands are different.
T: Thousands are our largest unit. 3 thousand is greater than 2 thousand so 3,010 is greater than
2,040. (Write the comparison symbol >" in the circle.) Write this comparison statement on your
board and say it to your partner in two different ways.
S: 3,010 is greater than 2,040 and 2,040 is less than 3,010. (3,010 > 2,040)
Problem 2
Comparing two numbers with an equal amount of the largest units.

Display: 43,021 45,302
T: Model and read each number. How is this comparison
different from our first comparison?
S: Before, our largest unit was thousands, now our largest unit is
ten thousands. In this comparison, both numbers have the
same number of ten thousands.
T: If the digits of the largest unit are equal, how do we compare?
S: We compare the thousands. We compare the next largest
unit. We compare the digit one place to the right.
T: Write your comparison statement on your board.
(Students write.) Say the comparison statement in two ways.
S: 43,021 is less than 45,302 and 45,302 is greater than 43,021. (43,021 < 45,302)
T: Write your own comparison for your partner to solve. Create a comparison in which the largest unit
is the same.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS FOR
ACTION AND
EXPRESSION:
For students who have difficulty
converting numbers from expanded
form into standard form, demonstrate,
using a place value chart, how each
number can be represented and then
how the numbers can be added
together. Alternatively, use place value
cards to allow students to see the value
of each digit that composes a
number. The cards help students to be
able to manipulate and visually display
the expanded form of a number and
the standard form of a number.

Problem 3
Comparing values of multiple numbers using a place value chart.
T: Write the following numbers in your place value chart. Whisper the value of each digit as you do so.
Model these three numbers in your place value chart as numerals.
32,434 32,644 32,534
T: When you compare the value of these three numbers, what do
you notice?
S: All three numbers have 3 ten thousands. All three numbers
have 2 thousands. We can compare the hundreds because
they are different.
T: Which number has the greatest value?
S: 32,644.
T: Tell your partner which number has the least value and how
you know.
S: 32,434 is the smallest of the three numbers because it has the
least number of hundreds.
T: Arrange the numbers from greatest to least. Use comparison
symbols to express the relationships of the numbers.
S: 32,644 > 32,534 > 32,434
Problem 4
Comparing numbers in different number forms.
Display: Compare 700,000 + 30,000 + 20 + 8 and 735,008
T: Discuss with your partner how to solve this comparison
and write your comparison.
S: I will write the numerals in my place value chart to compare.
Draw disks for each number. Ill write the first number
in standard form, then compare.
S: 730,028 < 735,008
T: Tell your partner which units you compared and why.
S: I compared thousands because the larger units were the
same. 5 thousands are greater than zero thousands, so
735,008 is greater than 730,028.
Repeat with 4 hundred thousands, 8 thousands, and 9 tens, and 40,000 + 8,000 + 90.

S: I predict the next number will be 245,000. I notice the
numbers decrease by 100,000. 345,000 minus 100,000
is 245,000. I notice the hundred thousand units
decreasing: 5 hundred thousands, 4 hundred
thousands, 3 hundred thousands. I predict the next
number will have 2 hundred thousands. I notice the
other units do not change. So, the next number will be
2 hundred thousands 4 ten thousands 5 thousands.

Topic C
Rounding Multi-Digit Whole Numbers
4.NBT.3
Focus Standard: 4.NBT.3 Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.
In Topic C, students round to any place using the vertical number line and approximation. The vertical
number line allows students to line up place values of the numbers they are comparing. In Grade 3, students
rounded to the nearest 10 or 100 using place value understanding, and students extend this understanding
rounding to the nearest thousand, ten thousand, and hundred thousand. Uniformity in the base ten system
easily transfers understanding from the Grade 3 (3.NBT.1) to Grade 4 (4.NBT.3) standard. Rounding to the
leftmost unit is easiest for students but Grade 4 students learn the advantages to rounding to any place value,
which increases accuracy. Students move from dependency on the number line and learn to approximate the
number to a particular unit. To round 34,108 to the nearest thousand, students find the nearest multiple,
34,000 or 35,000 by seeing if 34,108 is more than or less than half way between the multiples. The final
concept will present complex and real world examples of rounding, such as instances where the number
requires rounding down but the context requires rounding up.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS OF
REPRESENTATION:
For those students who have trouble
conceptualizing halfway, demonstrate
halfway using students as models. Two
students represent the thousands.
A third student represents halfway.
A fourth student represents the
number being rounded.
Discuss: Where do they belong? To
whom are they nearer? To which
number would they round?

S: 4,500.
T: (Mark 4,500 on the number line.) Where should I label 4,100? Tell me where to stop.
T: Is 4,100 nearer to 4 thousands or 5 thousands?
S: 4,100 is nearer to 4 thousands.
T: True. (Mark 4,700 on the number line.)
T: What about 4,700?
S: 4,700 is nearer to 5 thousands.
T: Therefore, we say 4,700 rounded to the nearest
thousand is 5,000.
Problem 2
Use a vertical line to round a five- and six-digit number to the
nearest thousand.
T: Round 14,500 to the nearest thousand. How many
thousands are there in 14,500?
S: 14 thousands.
T: Whats 1 more thousand?
S: 15 thousands.
T: Designate the endpoints on your number line. What is
halfway between 14,000 and 15,000?
S: 14,500.
T: Designate the halfway point on your number line. The halfway point is nearer to 15,000 so 14,500
rounded to the nearest thousand is 15,000.
T: With your partner, mark 14,990 on your number line and
round it to the nearest thousand.
S: 14,990 is nearer to 15 thousands or 15,000.
T: Mark 14,345 on your number line. Talk with your
partner about how to round it to the nearest thousand.
S: 14,345 is nearer to 14 thousands. 14,345 is nearer to
14,000. 14,345 rounded to the nearest thousand is
14,000.
T: Is 14,345 more than or less than the halfway point?
S: Less than.
T: We can look to see if 14,345 is closer to 14,000 or 15,000, and we can also look to see if it is greater
than or less than the halfway point. If it is less than the halfway point, it is closer to 14,000.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE
REPRESENTATIONS:
An effective scaffold when working in
the thousands period is to first work
with an analogous number in the ones
period. For example:
T: Lets round 72 to the nearest ten.
T: How many tens are in 72?
S: 7 tens.
T: What is 1 more ten?
S: 8 tens.
T: 7 tens and 8 tens are the endpoints
of my number line.
T: What is the value of the halfway
point?
S: 7 tens 5 ones. Seventy-five.
T: Tell me where to stop on my
number line (Start at 70 and move up.)
S: Stop!
T: Is 72 less than halfway or more than
halfway to 8 tens or 80?
S: Less than halfway.
T: We say 72 rounded to the nearest
ten is 70.
T: We use the exact same process
when rounding 72 thousand to the
nearest ten thousand.

Joses parents bought a used car, a new motorcycle,
and a used snowmobile. The car cost $8,999.
The motorcycle cost $9,690. The snowmobile cost
$4,419. About how much money did they spend on
the three items?
Note: Application problem builds on the content of previous lessons. Students are required to round and
then to add base thousand units.
Problem 1
Use a vertical number line to round five- and six-digit numbers
to the nearest ten thousand.
(Display a number line with endpoints 70,000 and 80,000.)
T: (Draw a number line to
round 72,744 to the
nearest ten thousand.)
How many ten
thousands are in 72,744?
S: 7 ten thousands.
T: (Mark the lower endpoint with 7 ten thousands.)
And 1 more ten thousand would be?
S: 8 ten thousands.
T: (Mark the upper endpoint with 8 ten thousands.)
Whats halfway between 7 ten thousands and 8 ten
thousands?
S: 7 ten thousands 5 thousands. 75,000.
T: (Mark 75,000 on the number line.) Where should I
label 72,744? Tell me where to stop. (Move your
marker up the line.)
T: Is 72,744 nearer to 70,000 or 80,000?
S: 72,744 is nearer to 70,000.
T: We can say 72,755 rounded to the nearest ten
thousand is 70,000.
Repeat with 337,601 rounded to the nearest ten thousand.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS OF
ENGAGEMENT:
For students working below grade
level, make the lesson relevant to their
lives. Discuss everyday instances of
estimation. Elicit examples of our
frequent use of a general idea of a sum
or differencerather than the exact
answer. Ask, When is it appropriate
to estimate? When do we need an
exact answer?
Problem 2
Use a vertical number line to round a six-digit number to the
nearest hundred thousand.
T: (Draw a number line to round 749,085 to the nearest
hundred thousand.) How many hundred thousands are
in 749,085?
S: 7 hundred thousands.
T: Whats 1 more hundred thousand?
S: 8 hundred thousand.
T: Label your endpoints on the number line. What is halfway between 7 hundred thousand and 8
hundred thousand?
S: 7 hundred thousand 5 ten thousands. 750,000.
T: Designate the midpoint on the number line. With your partner, mark 749,085 on the number line
and round it to the nearest hundred thousand.
S: 749,085 is nearer to 7 hundred thousands. 749,085 is nearest to 700,000. 749,085 rounded
to the nearest hundred thousand is 700,000.
Repeat with 908,899 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand.
Problem 3
Estimating with addition and subtraction.
(Write 505,341 + 193,841.)
T: Without finding the actual answer, I can estimate the
answer by rounding each addend to the nearest
hundred thousand and then add the rounded numbers.
T: Use a number line to round both numbers to the
nearest hundred thousand.
S: Round 505,341 to 500,000. Round 193,841 to 200,000.
T: Now add 500,000 + 200,000.
S: 700,000.
T: So, whats a good estimate of the sum of 505,341 and
193,841?
S: 700,000.
T: (Write 35,555 26,555.) How can we use rounding to estimate the answer?
S: Lets round each number before we subtract.
T: Good idea. Discuss with your partner how you will round to estimate the difference.
S: I can round each number to the nearest ten thousand. That way Ill have mostly zeros in my
numbers. 40,000 minus 30,000 is 10,000. 35,555 minus 26,555 is like 35 minus 26 which is 9.
35,000 minus 26,000 is 9,000. Its more accurate to round up. 36,000 minus 27,000 is 9,000.
Hey, its the same answer!

We got two different estimates!
T: Which estimate do you suppose is closer to the
actual difference?
S: I think 9,000 is closer because we changed fewer

T: What is halfway between 4,000 and 5,000?
S: 4,500.
T: Is 4,333 less than or more than halfway?
S: Less than.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS OF
ENGAGEMENT:
Challenge students above grade level to
look at the many ways that they rounded
the number 147,591 to different place
values. Have them discuss with a partner
what they notice about the rounded
numbers. Students should notice that
when rounding to the hundred thousands
that the answer is 100,000, but when
rounding to all of the other places that the
answers are closer to 150,000. Have them
discuss what this can teach us about
rounding.

Repeat with the number 548,253 rounded to the nearest ten thousand.
T: (Write 676,000 ____.) Round 676,000 to the nearest hundred thousand. First tell your partner
what your endpoints will be.
S: 600,000 and 700,000.
T: Determine the halfway point.
S: 650,000.
T: Is 676,000 more than or less than the halfway point?
S: More than.
T: Tell your partner what 676,000 is when rounded to the nearest hundred thousand.
S: 676,000 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand is 700,000.
T: (Write 203,301 ____.) Work with your partner to round 203,301 to the nearest hundred thousand.
T: Explain to your partner how we use the midpoint to round without a number line.
S: We cant look at a number line, so we have to use mental math to find our endpoints and halfway
point. If we know the midpoint, we can see if the number is greater than or less than the
midpoint. When rounding, the midpoint determines if our number is closer to the unit we are
rounding to or if we have to round up to the next unit.
Problem 3
Rounding to any value without using a number line.
T: (Write 147,591 ____.) Whisper read this number to your partner in
standard form. Now, round 147,591 to the nearest hundred thousand.
S: 100,000.
T: Excellent. (Write 147,591 100,000. Point.)
100,000 has no ones in the ones place, no tens in the
tens place, no hundreds in the hundreds place, no
thousands in the thousands place, and no ten
thousands in the ten thousands place. I could add,
subtract, multiply, or divide with this rounded number
much easier than with 147,591. True? But, what if I
wanted a more accurate estimate? Give me a number
closer to 147,591 that has (point) a zero in the ones,
tens, hundreds, and thousands.
S: 150,000.
T: Why not 140,000?
S: 147,591 is closer to 150,000 because it is greater than
the halfway point 145,000.
T: Great. 147,591 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is

Note: This application problem builds on the concept of
the previous lesson (rounding multi-digit numbers to
any place value) and creates a bridge to this lessons
concept (rounding using real world applications).
Introduction
T: Write 935,292____. Read it to your partner and round
to the nearest hundred thousand.
S: 900,000.
T: It is 900,000 when we round to the largest unit.
Whats the next largest unit we might round to?
S: Ten thousands.
T: Round to the ten thousands. Then round to the
thousands.
S: 940,000. 935,000.
T: What changes about the numbers when rounding to smaller and smaller units? Discuss with your
partner.
S: When you round to the largest unit, every other place will have a zero. Rounding to the largest
unit gives you the easiest number to add, subtract, multiply, or divide. As you round to smaller
units, there are not as many zeros in the number. Rounding to smaller units gives an estimate
that is closer to the actual value of the number.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS OF
ENGAGEMENT:
Challenge above grade level students
to think of at least two situations
similar to that of Problem 2 where
choosing the unit to which to round is
important to the outcome of the
problem. Have them share and
discuss.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS OF
REPRESENTATION:
For ELL students, define unfamiliar
words and experiences, such as the
White House. Give an alternative
example using a more familiar tourist
attraction, perhaps from their cultural
experience.

Problem 1
Determine the best estimate to solve an application problem.
In the year 2012, there were 935,292 visitors to the White House.
T: Lets read together. Now, use this information to
predict the number of White House maps needed for
visitors in 2013. Discuss with your partner how you
made your estimate.
S: I predict 940,000 maps are needed. I rounded to the
nearest ten thousands place in order to make sure
every visitor has a map. It is better to have more maps
than not enough maps. I predict more people may
visit the White House in 2013. So I rounded to the
nearest ten thousand 940,000the only estimate
that is greater than the actual number.
T: (Display.) In the year 2011, there were 998,250 visitors to the White House. Discuss with your
partner how this data may change your estimate.
S: The data shows the number of visitors has decreased in recent years. It may be wiser to predict
935,000 or 900,000 maps needed for 2013.
T: How can you determine the best estimate in a situation?
S: I can notice patterns or data that might inform my estimate.
Problem 2
Choose the unit of rounding to solve an application problem.

T: (Display.) 2,837 students attend Lincoln Elementary
school. Discuss with your partner how you would
estimate the number of chairs needed in the school.
S: I would round to the nearest thousand for an estimate
of 3,000 chairs needed. If I rounded to the nearest
hundred2,800some students may not have a seat.
I disagree. 3,000 is almost 200 too many. I would
round to the nearest hundred because some students
might be absent.
T: Compare the effect of rounding to the largest unit in this problem
and Problem 1.
S: In Problem 1, rounding to the largest unit resulted in a number less
than the actual number.
By contrast, when we rounded to the largest unit in Problem 2, our
estimate was greater.
T: What can you conclude?
S: Rounding to the largest unit will effect different results for different numbers. I will choose the
unit based on the situation and what is most reasonable.

round multi-digit numbers to any place value using real
world applications.
In Problem 3 why didnt rounding to the nearest
hundred work? Would rounding to the nearest
thousand have worked better? What does this show
you about rounding?
When estimating, how do you choose to which unit
you will round? Would it have been more difficult to
solve Problem 5 if you rounded both numbers to the
hundreds? Why or why not?
Notice, in Problem 5, that 65,000 rounded to 70,000
and that 7,460 rounded to 7,000. What is the
relationship between 7,000 and 70,000. How does
this relationship make it easier to determine the
number of trips?
In Problem 1, how do your estimates compare?
How do you choose a best estimate? What is the
advantage of rounding to smaller and larger units?
Why might you round up, even though the numbers
tell you to round down?

Topic D
Multi-Digit Whole Number Addition
4.OA.3, 4.NBT.4, 4.NBT.1, 4.NBT.2
Focus Standard: 4.OA.3

Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number
unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation
and estimation strategies including rounding.
Moving away from special strategies for addition, students develop fluency
with the standard addition algorithm (4.NBT.4). Students compose larger
units to add like base ten units, such as composing 10 hundreds to make 1
thousand and working across the numbers unit by unit (ones with ones,
thousands with thousands). Recording of the regrouping occurs on the line
under the addends as shown to the right. For example, in the ones column,
students do not record the 0 in the ones column and the 1 above the tens
column, instead students record 10, writing the 1 under the tens column
and then a 0 in the ones column. Students practice and apply the algorithm
in context of word problems and assess the reasonableness of their answers using rounding (4.OA.3). When
using tape diagrams to model word problems, students use a variable to represent the unknown quantity.

MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION
AND EXPRESSION:
ELLs benefit from further explanation
of the word problem. Have a
conversation around the following:
What do we do if we dont
understand a word in the problem?
What thinking can we use to figure out
the answer anyway?
In this case, students do not need to
know what a road trip is in order to
solve. Discuss, How is the tape
diagram helpful to us? It may be
helpful to use the RDW approach:
Read important information, draw a
picture, and write an equation to solve.

S: 13 tens. We can group 10 tens to make 1 hundred. We dont write two digits in one column.
We can change 10 tens for 1 hundred leaving us with 3 tens.
T: (Regroup the disks.) Watch me as I record the larger unit using the addition algorithm.
First, record the 1 below the digits in the hundreds place then record the 3 in the tens, so that you are
writing 13, not 3 then 1.
T: 7 hundreds plus 4 hundreds plus 1 hundred equals 12 hundreds. Discuss with your partner how to
record this.
Continue adding, regrouping, and recording across other units.

T: Say the whole equation with me. 40,762 plus 30,473 equals 71,235. Label the whole in the bar
diagram with 71,235, and write B = 71,235.
Problem 3
Add, renaming multiple units using the standard algorithm.
T: (Project: 207,426 + 128,744.)
T: Draw a tape diagram to model this problem. Record the numbers on your
board.
T: With your partner, add units right to left, regrouping when necessary using
the addition algorithm.
S: 207,426 + 128,744 = 336,170.
Problem 4
Solve one-step word problem using standard algorithm modeled with a tape diagram.
The Lane family took a road trip. During the first week, they
drove 907 miles. The second week they drove the same
amount as the first week plus an additional 297 miles. How
many miles did they drive during the second week?
T: What information do we know?
S: We know they drove 907 miles the first week.
We also know they drove 297 miles more during the
second week than the first week.
T: What is the unknown information?
S: We dont know the total miles they drove in the
second week.
T: Draw a tape diagram to represent the amount of miles
in the first week, 907 miles. Since the Lane family
drove an additional 297 miles in the second week,
extend the bar for 297 more miles.
What does the bar represent?

to see they are recording the regrouping of
10 of a smaller unit for 1 larger unit.)
T: Solve. What is M?
S: M equals 1,204. (Write M = 1,204.)
T: Write a sentence that tells your answer.
S: The Lane family drove 1,204 miles during the
second week.

1.D.8
What purpose does a tape diagram have? How does it support your work?
What does a variable, like the letter B in Problem 2, help us do when drawing a tape diagram?
I see different types of tape diagrams drawn for Problem 3. Some drew one bar with two parts.
Some drew one bar for each addend, and put the bracket for the whole on the right side of both
bars. Will these diagrams result in different answers? Explain.
In Problem 1, what did you notice was similar and different about the addends and the sums for
Parts (a), (b), and (c)?
If you have 2 addends, can you ever have enough ones to make 2 tens, or enough tens to make 2
hundreds, or enough hundreds to make 2 thousands? Try it out with your partner. What if you
have 3 addends?
In Problem 1, each unit used the numbers 2, 5, and 7 once, but the sum doesnt show repeating
digits. Why not?
How is recording the regrouped number in the next column of the addition algorithm related to
bundling disks?
Have students revisit the Application Problem and solve for the actual amount of calories
consumed. Which unit when rounding provided an estimate closer to the actual value?

how checking the reasonableness of an answer is
important.)
When might you need to use an estimate in real
life?
Lets check the reasonableness of our answer in
the Application Problem.
Allow half of the class to round to the
nearest hundred thousand. Others may
round to the nearest ten thousand.
Note that rounding to the ten thousands
brings our estimate closer to the actual
answer.
Note that the round to the nearest
hundred thousand estimate is nearly
60,000 less than the actual answer.
Discuss the margin of error that occurs in
estimating answers and how this relates
to the place value to which you round.
Problem 1
How would your estimate be affected if you rounded all numbers to the nearest hundred?
What are the next steps if your estimate is not near the actual answer? Consider the example
we discussed earlier where the problem was solved incorrectly, but because there was an
estimated answer, we knew our answer was not reasonable.

Topic E

Subtraction
4.OA.3, 4.NBT.4, 4.NBT.1, 4.NBT.2

Following the introduction of the standard algorithm for addition in Topic D,
the standard algorithm for subtraction replaces special strategies for
subtraction in Topic E. Moving slowly from smaller to larger minuends,
students practice decomposing larger units into smaller units. First, only one
decomposition is introduced, where one zero may appear in the minuend.
Students continue to decompose all necessary digits before performing the
algorithm, allowing subtraction from left to right, or as taught in the lessons
from right to left. Students gain fluency in the algorithm to subtract
numbers from 1 million allowing for multiple decompositions (4.NBT.4).
The topic will conclude with practicing the standard subtraction algorithm in
the context of two-step word problems where students will have to assess
the reasonableness of their answers by rounding (4.OA.3). When using tape
diagrams to model word problems, students use a variable to represent the
unknown quantity.

T: First lets determine if we are ready to subtract. We look across the top number, from right to left,
to see if there are enough units in each column. Is the number of units in the top number of the
ones column greater than or equal to that of the bottom number? (Point to the 9 and the 1 in the
equation.)
S: Yes, 9 is greater than 1.
T: That means we are ready to subtract in the ones column. Is the number of units in the top number of
the tens column greater than or equal to that of the bottom number?
S: No, 5 is less than 7.
T: (Show regrouping on the place value chart.) We ungroup or unbundle 1 unit from the hundreds to
make 10 tens. I now have 1 hundred and 15 tens. Lets represent the change in writing.
(Cross out the hundreds and tens to rename them in the equation.)
T: Show the change with your disks. (Students cross off 1 hundred and change it for 10 tens as shown
below.)

T: Is the number of units in the top number of the hundreds column greater than or equal to that of the
bottom number?
S: Yes, 1 is equal to 1.
T: Is the number of units in the top number of the thousands column greater than or equal to that of
the bottom number?
T: Are we ready to subtract?
S: Yes, we are ready to subtract!
T: (Point to the algorithm.) 9 ones minus 1 one?
S: 8 ones. (Remove 1 disk; write an 8 in the algorithm.)
T: 15 tens minus 7 tens?

you lined up all units.
T: Am I ready to subtract?
S: No!
T: Work with your partner, asking if the top unit is greater
than or equal to the bottom unit. Regroup when
needed. Then ask, Am I ready to subtract? before
you begin subtracting. (Students work.)
S: 73,658 8,052 = 65,606.
T: The value of P is 65,606. Tell your partner how many
boxes remain in a complete sentence. (65,606 boxes
remain.)
T: To check and see if your answer is correct, add the two
values of the bar, 8,052 and your answer of 65,606 to
see if the sum is the value of the bar, 73,658.

MULTIPLE MEANS OF
ENGAGEMENT:
Students of all abilities will benefit
from using addition to check
subtraction. Students should see that
if the sum does not match the whole
their calculation is faulty. They must
subtract again and then check with
addition. Challenge students to think
about how they use this check strategy
in everyday life. We do this all of the

Note: This Application Problem reviews content from the prior lesson of using the subtraction algorithm with
multiple regroupings.
Problem 1
Solve a two-step word problem, modeled with a tape diagram, assessing reasonableness of answer using
rounding.
A company has 3 locations with 70,010 employees all together. Their first location has 34,857 employees.
Their second location has 17,595 employees. How many employees work in their third location?

T: Read with me. Take 2 minutes to draw and label a tape diagram.
Circulate and encourage the students: Can you draw something? What can you draw?
T: (After 2 minutes.) Tell your partner the known and unknown information.
S: We know the total number of employees and the employees at the first and second locations.
We dont know how many employees are at the third location.

Lesson 16

Date: 6/28/13

1.E.41
T: Use your tape diagram to estimate the number of employees
at the third location. Explain your reasoning to your partner.
S: I rounded the number of employees.
30,000 + 20,000 = 50,000 and I know that the total
number of employees is about 70,000. That means
that there would be about 20,000 employees at the
third location.
T: Now, find the precise answer. Work with your partner to do
so.
Give students time to work.
T: Label the missing part on your diagram and make a
statement of the solution.
S: There are 17,558 employees at the third location.
T: Is your answer reasonable?
S: Yes, because 17,558 rounded to the nearest ten thousand is 20,000, and that was our estimate.
Problem 2
Solve two-step word problems, modeled with a tape diagram, assessing reasonableness of answer using
rounding.
Owens goal is to have 1 million people visit his new website within the first four months of it being launched.
Below is a chart showing the number of visitors each month. How many more visitors does he need in Month

T: With your partner draw a tape diagram. Tell your partner your strategy for solving this problem.
S: We can find the sum of the number of visitors during the first 3 months. Then, we subtract that
from 1 million to find how many more visitors are needed to reach his goal.
T: Make an estimate for the number of visitors in Month 4. Explain your reasoning to your partner.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ENGAGEMENT:
Challenge students working above
grade level to expand their thinking
and to figure out another way to solve
the two-step problem. Is there
another strategy that would work?

S: I can round to the nearest hundred thousand and estimate.
Owen will need about 200,000 visitors to reach his goal.
I rounded to the nearest ten thousand to get a closer
estimate of 170,000 visitors.
T: Find the total for the first 3 months. What is the
precise sum?
S: 829,609.
T: Compare the actual and estimated solutions.
Is your answer reasonable?
S: Yes, because our estimate of 200,000 is near 170,391.
Rounded to the nearest hundred thousand 170,391
is 200,000. 170,391 rounded to the nearest ten
thousand is 170,000 which was also our estimate, so
our solution is reasonable.
Problem 3
Solve a two-step word problem with a compare with smaller unknown base.
There were 12,345 people at a concert on Saturday night. On Sunday night, there were 1,795 fewer people at
the concert than on Saturday night. How many people attended the concert on both nights?

T: For 2 minutes with your partner draw a tape diagram. (Pause as they work. Circulate and
encourage. One mode of delivery of instruction is to call two sets of partners to draw on the board
while others work at their seats. Have the pairs then present their diagrams to the class.)
T: (After drawing.) Now how can you calculate to solve the problem?
S: We can find the number of people on Sunday night, and then add that number to the people on
Saturday night.
T: Make an estimate of the solution. Explain your reasoning to your partner.
S: Rounding to the nearest thousand, the number of people on Saturday night was about 12,000. The
number of people fewer on Sunday night can be rounded to 2,000, so the estimate for the number
of people on Sunday is 10,000. 12,000 + 10,000 is 22,000.
T: Find the exact number of people who attended the concert on both nights. What is the exact sum?
S: 22,895.

The module culminates with multi-step addition and subtraction word problems in Topic F (4.OA.3). The
format for the Concept Development is different from the traditional script. The Problem Set will facilitate
the problems and discussion, as they are used during the Concept Development, instead of following
instruction. Throughout the module, tape diagrams are used to model word problems and in this topic,
students will continue to use them to solve additive comparative word problems. Students continue using a
variable to represent an unknown quantity. To culminate the module, students are given tape diagrams or
equations and encouraged to use creativity and the mathematics learned during this module to write their
own word problems to solve using place value understanding and the algorithms for addition and subtraction.
The module facilitates deeper comprehension and supports the reasonableness in an answer. Solving multi-
step word problems using multiplication and division will be addressed in later modules.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ENGAGEMENT:
Challenge students to think about how
reasonableness can be associated with
rounding. If the actual answer does
not round to the estimate, does it
mean that the answer is not
reasonable?
Ask students to explain their thinking.
(For example, 376 134 = 242.
Rounding to the nearest hundred
would result with an estimate of
400 100 = 300. The actual answer
of 242 rounds to 200, not 300.)

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION
AND EXPRESSION:
Students working below grade level
may continue to need additional
support in adding numbers together
using place value charts or disks.

2. Calculate to solve and write a statement.
Give everyone 2 minutes to finish work on that question, sharing their work, and thinking with a peer.
All should then write their equations and statements of the answer.
3. Assess the solution for reasonableness.
Give students 12 minutes to assess and explain the reasonableness of their solution.
Note: In Lessons 1719, the Problem Set will be comprised of word problems from the lesson and is
therefore to be used during the lesson itself.
Problem 1
Solve a single-step word problems using how much more.
Seans school raised $32,587. Leslies school raised $18,749.
How much more money did Seans school raise?

Support them in realizing that though the question is asking, How much more? we can see from the tape
diagram that the unknown is a missing part, therefore we subtract to find the answer.
Problem 2
Solve a single-step word problem using how many fewer.
At a parade, 97,853 people sat in bleachers. 388,547 people
stood along the street. How many fewer people were in the
bleachers than standing along the street?

Circulate and support students to realize that the unknown is a missing part. Encourage them to write a
statement using the word fewer when talking about separate things. For example, I have fewer apples than
you do but less juice.

NOTES ON
MULTIPLE MEANS
OF ACTION
AND EXPRESSION:
For students who may find Problem 4
challenging, remind them of the work
done earlier in this module with
multiples of 10. For example, 180 is ten
times as much as 18. If 18 divided by 2
is 9, then 180 divided by 2 is 90.

Problem 3
Solve a two-step problem using how much more.
A pair of hippos weighed 5,201 kg together. The female weighed 2,038 kg. How much more did the male
weigh than the female?
Many students will want to draw this as a single bar showing the combined weight to start. That works.
However, the second step will most likely require a new double bar to compare the weights of the male and
female. If no one comes up with the model pictured, you can show it quickly. Students generally do not
choose to draw a bracket with the known total to the side until they are very familiar with two-step
comparison models. However, be aware that students will have modeled this problem type since Grade 2.
Problem 4
Solve a three-step problem using how much longer.
A copper wire was 240 m long. After 60 m was cut off, it was double the length of a steel wire. How much
longer was the copper wire than the steel wire at first?

T: Read the problem, draw a model, write equations both
to estimate and calculate precisely and write a
statement. Ill give you 5 minutes.
Circulate, using the bulleted questions to guide students. Encourage the students when they get stuck to
focus on what they can learn from their drawing:
Show me the copper wire at first.
Show me in your model what happened to the copper wire.
Show me in your model what you know about the steel wire.

Note: In Lessons 1719, the Problem Set will be comprised of the word problems from the lesson and is
Problem 1
Solve a multi-step word problem, requiring addition and subtraction, using a tape diagram, and checking the
reasonableness of the answer using estimation.
In one year, a factory used 11,650 meters of cotton, 4,950 fewer meters of silk than cotton, and 3,500 fewer
meters of wool than silk. How many meters in all were used of the three fabrics?

This problem is a step forward for students as they subtract to find the amount of wool from the amount of
silk. Students also might subtract the sum of 4,950 and 3,500 from 11,650 to find the meters of wool and add
that to the amount of silk. Its a longer method but makes sense. As you circulate, look for other alternate
strategies which can be quickly mentioned or explored more deeply as per your professional judgment.
Be advised, however, not to emphasize creativity but rather analysis and efficiency. Ingenious short cuts
might be highlighted.
After the students have solved the problem, ask them to check their answer for reasonableness.
T: How can you know if 21,550 is a reasonable answer? Discuss with your partner.
S: Well, I can see by looking at the diagram that the amount of wool fits in the part that the silk is
missing. So the answer is a little less than double 12 thousand, so our answer makes sense.
S: Another way to think about it is that 11,650 can be rounded to 12 thousand. 12 thousand plus 7
thousand for the silk since 12 thousand minus 5 thousand is 7 thousand plus about 4 thousand for
the wool, thats 23 thousand.

Problem 2
Solve an additive multi-step word problem using a tape diagram, checking the reasonableness of the answer
using estimation.
The shop sold 12,789 chocolate and 9,324 cookie dough cones. They sold 1,078 more peanut butter cones
than cookie dough cones and 999 more vanilla cones than chocolate cones. What was the total number of ice
cream cones sold?

The solution above shows calculating the total number of cones of each flavor and then adding. Students
may also add like units before adding the extra parts.
After the students have solved the problem, ask them to check their answer for reasonableness.
S: By looking at the tape diagram, I can see we have 2 thirteen thousands. Thats 26 thousand.
We have 2 nine thousands, thats 26 and 18 is 44. Plus about 2 thousand more, thats 46 thousand.
Thats close.
S: Another way to see it is that I can kind of see 2 thirteen thousands and the little extra pieces with the
peanut butter make 11 thousand. That is 37 thousand plus 9 thousand from cookie dough is 46
thousand. Thats close.
Problem 3
Solve a multi-step word problem, requiring addition and subtraction, modeled with a tape diagram, checking
the reasonableness of the answer using estimation.
In the first week of June, a restaurant sold 10,345 omelets. The second week, they sold 1,096 fewer omelets
than the first week. The third week, they sold 2 thousand more than the first week. The fourth week, they
sold 2 thousand fewer than the first week. How many omelets did they sell in all in June?

MP.3

4 Lesson 18
Date: 6/28/13

1.F.16
This problem is interesting because 2 thousand more and 2 thousand less mean that there is one more unit of
10,345. We therefore simply add in the omelets from week 2.
S: By looking at the tape diagram, its easy to see it is like 3 ten thousands plus 9 thousand, thats 39
thousand. That is close to our answer.
S: Another way to see it is just rounding one week at a time starting at week one, 10 thousand plus 9
thousand plus 12 thousand plus 8 thousand. Thats 39 thousand.

misconceptions or misunderstandings that can be addressed in the Debrief. Guide students in a conversation
to debrief the Problem Set and process the lesson. You may choose to use any combination of the questions
below to lead the discussion.
How are the problems alike? How are they different?
How was your solution the same and different from those that were demonstrated?
Why is there more than one right way to solve, for example, Problem 3?
Did you see other solutions that surprised you or made you see the problem differently?
In Problem 1, was the part unknown or the total unknown? What about in Problems 2 and 3?
Why is it helpful to assess for reasonableness after solving?
How were the tape diagrams helpful to us in estimating to test for reasonableness? Why is that?
