4.AT.1 Solve real-world problems involving addition and subtraction of multi-digit whole numbers (e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem). 4.PAFR.3.3: Solve real-world situations involving multiplicative comparison situations and write equations to represent the problem using a variable for the unknown. Represents one-step multiplicative-comparison word problems with expressions or equations, whole numbers Solves one-step multiplica...

This learning resource focuses on solving real-world problems using equations with variables to represent unknown values. Students will learn to identify unknowns, formulate equations, and solve multi-digit addition and subtraction problems. The strategy included is a four-step plan: 1) Read the problem and underline key numbers; 2) Plan by choosing a variable for the unknown; 3) Solve the equation using vertical alignment; 4) Check if the answer makes sense. The document provides examples, including a worked example for addition and independent practice sections for students to apply what they've learned. It also introduces multiplicative comparisons, providing further real-life applications and exercises for students to solve.
