Main Standard:
4.OA.3 Solve multistep word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations, including problems in which remainders must be interpreted. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
Supporting Standards:
4.NBT.4, 4.NBT.5, 4.NBT.6

Students should be able to...
The focus in this standard is to have students use and discuss various strategies.
Example:
Ken is having a pizza party with 24 friends. He is expecting everyone to eat two pieces of pizza, one cookie, and to have one drink. Pizzas have 8 slices each. The cookies come in packages of 4, and drinks are sold in packs of 6. How many of each should Ken buy?
- Explain how you solved your problem - include your strategy, how you determined which operation to use, how you made sure your answer was reasonable, and how you made sure your answer was accurate.
- Explain why estimating is a good strategy to use when solving multi-step problems.
The focus in this standard is to have students use and discuss various strategies.
- The standard refers to estimation strategies, including using compatible numbers (numbers that sum to 10 or 100) or rounding.
- Students will have many opportunities solving multistep story problems using all four operations.
- By reasoning repeatedly about the connection between math drawings and written numerical work, students can come to see multiplication and division algorithms as abbreviations or summaries of their reasoning about quantities.
