Add and subtract whole numbers and decimals to hundredths using the standard algorithm.
The intent of 4.4A is to move students from guided examples to independent work with Add/Subtract (standard algorithm).
For Grade 4, this standard focuses on Add/Subtract (standard algorithm) and prepares learners for increasingly complex tasks.
Students may rely on procedures without reasoning or mix key terms. Build in quick oral explanations, error analysis, and vocabulary supports tied to 4.4A.
Start with concrete or familiar examples, connect to prior knowledge, model a clear process, and provide checks for understanding aligned to 4.4A.
Standard 4.4A describes the essential skills and understandings for Add/Subtract (standard algorithm) in Grade 4. It clarifies the learning outcomes and what successful work looks like.
It lays groundwork for the next grade by deepening accuracy and flexibility with Add/Subtract (standard algorithm), so students can tackle more complex problems later.
