Key ideas
A 4-digit number has thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
Personal strategies use place value to add and subtract efficiently.
Doubling, halving, and building on known facts make multiplying quicker.
Division shares into equal groups or finds how many groups fit.
A fraction names equal parts of a whole or a set.
Watch out for
- Writing a numeral with commas instead of proper spacing.
- Losing place value when regrouping.
- Adding instead of using a multiplication strategy.

Extending a pattern in a table helps solve a problem.
Carroll and Venn diagrams sort data by their attributes.
A symbol can stand for an unknown value in an equation.
Watch out for
- Missing the pattern rule in a table.
- Filling in a table without following the pattern.
- Extending a pattern incorrectly.

Statistics and Probability
Many-to-One Graphs
Understanding many-to-one graphs
I can read a graph where one picture stands for many.
Official code: SP4.1
Making many-to-one graphs
I can make a bar graph or pictograph using many-to-one.
Official code: SP4.1
The official wording · 2 outcomes
- SP4.1
- Demonstrate an understanding of many-to-one correspondence by: • comparing correspondences on graphs • justifying the use of many-to-one correspondences • interpreting data shown using a many-to-one correspondence
- SP4.1
- • creating bar graphs and pictographs using many-to- one correspondence.
Key ideas
In a many-to-one graph, one symbol or square stands for more than one item.
A legend tells us how many each symbol represents.
We choose a correspondence, like each square = 10, to fit the data.
A good graph has a title, labels, and a legend.
Watch out for
- Counting each symbol as one instead of using the legend.
- Ignoring the legend when reading the graph.
- Forgetting the legend or labels.
