Common Core Math: Grade 4: Algebraic Thinking

In fourth grade, students gain fluency with whole-number arithmetic, including by using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to solve multistep word problems. Students write equations in which a variable stands for the unknown quantity. Students determine multiples and divisors of whole numbers and distinguish between prime and composite numbers. Students also generate and analyze patterns of numbers and build skills in mental computation and estimation.
