FOR 4TH GRADE
Correct Answer . Read the explanation below
NUMBERS AND OPERATION & ALGEBRA are common core content. Application of multiplication operation to discover pattern or rule also called algorithm are common core topic because students are expected to continually return to mathematical principles associated to the concept multiplication operation and pattern discovery.
The State expected 4th grade students to master multiplication. Also to have pre-algebra exposure by learning how to analyze a problem situation, determine the question(s) to be answered, determine how to represent the problem, learn how to do critical thinking by always asking why is your answer valid and reasonable, and finally develop communication skills in explaining their reasoning process even if there answer is wrong because your teacher will see and explain what you forget to consider during your thinking process while solving the problem. Then all students will benefit during classroom discussion. For example extracting quantitative information from word problem and be able to discover the pattern how to solve it, similar to the problem shown below are important skills to learn. These are the skills that the teacher will have opportunity to share with their students to convince them that learning math is very useful in their daily life. For students, be thankful to your teacher that is preparing you to master many skills simultaneously that you needed in 21st century working environment, where many solved and repetitive task will be automated using artificial intelligence but not common sense, critical thinking ability and higher order thinking like analysis, synthesis, recommendation, evaluation, imagination, and creativity.
