Original PromptAttached are the standards we need to teach and our academic calendar for next school year. Please create a pacing guide that ends in April following the order on the attached pacing guide. Fractions are heavily tested so the entire NF unit needs to be longer than the rest.
This pacing guide outlines the curriculum and instructional focus for 4th-grade mathematics over two semesters. The guide emphasizes key learning objectives, particularly the mastery of number sense, operations, fractions, decimals, geometry, and measurement as stipulated by the WCPS curriculum. The first semester covers foundational topics such as place value, addition and subtraction, geometry, and factors and multiples. Each unit includes specific learning goals, assessment windows, and retrieval practice prompts aimed at reinforcing student learning. The second semester transitions into multiplication, division, and the introduction of fractions, focusing on operations with whole numbers and fractions. Emphasis is placed on generating, comparing, and proving equivalency of fractions, with detailed success criteria for students to track their progress. The guide provides a comprehensive structure to ensure students achieve mastery of the key concepts by the end of the school year.
