Benchmarks in This Standard
MA.4.NSO.2 is a B.E.S.T. standard. These are the benchmarks under it.
- MA.4.NSO.2.1
Recall multiplication facts with factors up to 12 and related division facts with automaticity.
- MA.4.NSO.2.2
Multiply two whole numbers, up to three digits by up to two digits, with procedural reliability.
- MA.4.NSO.2.3
Multiply two whole numbers, each up to two digits, including using a standard algorithm with procedural fluency.
- MA.4.NSO.2.4
Divide a whole number up to four digits by a one-digit whole number with procedural reliability. Represent remainders as fractional parts of the divisor.
- MA.4.NSO.2.5
Explore the multiplication and division of multi-digit whole numbers using estimation, rounding and place value.
- MA.4.NSO.2.6
Identify the number that is one-tenth more, one-tenth less, one-hundredth more and one-hundredth less than a given number.
- MA.4.NSO.2.7
Explore the addition and subtraction of multi-digit numbers with decimals to the hundredths.
Teacher's field guide
What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use place value to add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit numbers. They represent their thinking with equations, models, or written methods and check whether answers are reasonable.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students accurately solve multi-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems. They align numbers by place value, show regrouping, interpret remainders, and use estimates to check answers.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may combine digits without attending to place value or align decimal numbers by their last digit. They may skip regrouping, omit partial products, or treat a remainder as part of the quotient.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Solve 3,406 + 2,785, 8.2 − 3.47, 216 × 34, and 1,428 ÷ 6. Use an estimate to check one answer.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Use base-ten blocks and a place-value mat to model 3.6 + 1.75, trade pieces, then record the matching equation.
Show two worked solutions for 2,304 ÷ 6 and ask students to write which method is correct and explain the error.
Play Target Product: students draw five digit cards, build a three-digit by two-digit multiplication problem, and score for closeness to 10,000.
Give students a store receipt and a $50 budget; they find the total, change, and whether one more item can be bought.
