How to help with this skill

Fourth graders practice larger numbers, fractions, decimals and multi-step reasoning. Encourage estimation as a way to check answers.

  • Notice parentheses and multiplication before addition or subtraction when appropriate.
  • Solve one step at a time and write the intermediate result.
  • Read the expression again and verify with a different strategy.

Try this: Underline the first operation before calculating.
