Expectations in This Standard
4.NR.1 is a Georgia mathematics standard. These are the expectations under it.
- 4.NR.1.1
Read and write multi-digit whole numbers to the hundred-thousands place using base-ten numerals and expanded form.
- 4.NR.1.2
Recognize and show that a digit in one place has a value ten times greater than what it represents in the place to its right and extend this understanding to de...
- 4.NR.1.3
Use place value reasoning to represent, compare, and order multi-digit numbers, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
- 4.NR.1.4
Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers.

What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students use place value patterns to compare whole numbers through hundred-thousands and decimals through hundredths. They round whole numbers to a given place and explain choices in real-life contexts.
What Mastery Looks Like
- Students correctly use greater than, less than, and equal symbols for whole numbers and decimals. They round to a named place and explain how each place is ten times the place to its right.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may compare numbers by length without checking place values. They may round using the wrong digit or treat 3.5 as less than 3.45 because 5 is less than 45.
How to Assess It
- Give students this exit ticket: Compare 48,750 and 48,705, round 48,750 to the nearest thousand, then compare 6.4 and 6.35. Ask for one sentence explaining each answer.

Ways to Teach It
Build two six-digit numbers with place value cards, compare them, then round each to a place named by a partner.
Ask students to explain why 4.7 is greater than 4.65, using money or a place value chart.
Play Number Line Target: students place number cards on labeled lines, earn points for correct placement, then round to the nearest mark.
Compare prices, attendance totals, or distances from store ads and local data, then round each number for a quick estimate.
