(1) The benchmark for mathematics content standard 1 for a student at the end of grade 4 is the ability to:

(a) demonstrate relationships among whole numbers; identify place value up to 100,000, and compare numbers (e.g., greater than, less than, and equal to);

(b) estimate sums, differences, products, and quotients when solving problems; add, subtract, multiply (three-digit by two-digit factors), and divide (two-digit dividends by one-digit divisors) to solve problems; and demonstrate fluency with basic facts;

(c) develop multiplication and division concepts, apply number and operation models and strategies, and reason and justify using properties of operations;

(d) identify and model common fractions such as, tenths, fourths, thirds, and halves and decimals such as, money and place value to 0.001, and recognize and compare equivalent representations; and

(e) select and apply appropriate standard units and tools to measure length, time, and temperature within relevant scientific and cultural situations, including those of Montana American Indians.
