Lesson 10 and 14 can be used to review more rounding, or as an extension if time allows.
Instead, embed problems from Lesson 17 into Module 2 or 3 as extensions. Since multi-step problems are
taught in Lesson 18, Lesson 19 could also be omitted.

The purpose of this module is to build on the idea of mixed units and to relate the notion of "10, 100, 1000 times as much" using metric measurement as the context. It's intentions are to develop fluency with the manipulation of place value units, and to better prepare them for big ideas within Module 3. Due to pacing concerns and our desire to provide time to prepare students for the NYS Testing at the end of April, we are recommending to omit this short Module. These standards are POST standards and will come up again at the end of 4th Grade to prepare students for 5th Grade.

Within this module, if pacing is a challenge, consider the following omissions. In Lesson 1, omit Problem 1 if you embedded it into Module 2, and omit Problem 4, which can be used for a center activity. In Lesson 8, omit the drawing of models in Problems 2 and 4 of the Concept Development and in Problem 2 of the Problem Set. Instead, have students think about and visualize what they would draw. Omit Lesson 10 because the objective for Lesson 10 is the same as that for Lesson 9. Omit Lesson 19, and instead, embed discussions of interpreting remainders into other division lessons. Omit Lesson 21 because students solve division problems using the area model in Lesson 20. Using the area model to solve division problems with remainders is not specified in the Progressions documents. Omit Lesson 31, and instead, embed analysis of division situations throughout later lessons. Omit Lesson 33, and embed into Lesson 30 the discussion of the connection between division using the area model and division using the algorithm. Look ahead to the Pacing Suggestions for Module 4. Consider partnering with the art teacher to teach Module 4’s Topic A simultaneously with Module 3.

The idea of multiplying 2-digit by 2-digit numbers can be extended using the same area model (box method) approach. Students can see the partial products and can begin to make sense of the traditional algorithm for multiplying larger numbers. It is not expected for students to become fluent with that algorithm, but flexible enough to solve a 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication problem using any method.

4.NBT.6
Lessons 20-21 use the area model to show division. Although useful to build the conceptual understanding of the abstract algorithm, it involves the distributive property of division. It also requires quite a bit of fluency and flexibility among students. It is not uncommon for both students and teachers to struggle with this model. We are suggesting you omit it for the whole group and use it only in small group work if it seems appropriate for your learners. Lessons 22-25 are on the divisibility rules and can be addressed in the right moment when needing to identify both factors and multiples of a number (4.OA.4). These terms and strategies should be used with students but maybe use your "extra days" coming up to practice with finding factors and multiples of a number and relating this to the division algorithm.

Topic A could be taught simultaneously with Module 3 during an art class. Topics B and C could be taught directly following Module 3, prior to Module 5, since they offer excellent scaffolding for the fraction work of Module 5. Topic D could be taught simultaneously with Module 5, 6, or 7 during an art class when students are served well with hands-on, rigorous experiences. Keep in mind that Topics B and C of this module are foundational to Grade 7’s missing angle problems.

For Module 5, consider the following modifications and omissions. Study the objectives and the sequence of problems within Lessons 1, 2, and 3, and then consolidate the three lessons. Omit Lesson 4. Instead, in Lesson 5, embed the contrast of the decomposition of a fraction using the tape diagram versus using the area model. Note that the area model’s cross hatches are used to transition to multiplying to generate equivalent fractions, add related fractions in Lessons 20 and 21, add decimals in Module 6, add/subtract all fractions in Grade 5’s Module 3, and multiply a fraction by a fraction in Grade 5’s Module 4. Omit Lesson 29, and embed estimation within many problems throughout the module and curriculum. Omit Lesson 40. Line plots are part of Lesson 28 and can also be reinforced within social studies or science. Be aware that there is a line plot question on the End-of-Module Assessment.
