4th Grade Common Core Lesson Plan: Using the four operations to solve word problems. Standard: 4.MD.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale. http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/4/MD/A/2 Objective: Students will use the four operations to solve word problems. Students will solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, volume, mass, and money.

Materials: SMART Board (If a SMART board is not available, teachers can print a pdf of the slides to put on an overhead.) Simple Solutions Worksheet. Prior CCSS: Teachers may need to review prior CCSS before beginning this lesson. These standards emphasize word problems. 1. 3.MD.1: Telling and writing time to nearest minute, and measure time intervals in minutes. 2. 3.OA.8: Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. 3. 3.MD.1: Use four operations to solve one-step word problems using masses or volumes that are given in the same units. Procedure: 1. The SMART board slides allow students to practice word problems that 4.MD.2 addresses. Using the SMART board slides along with the worksheet will provide students practice with two of each type of problem. 2. Depending on student understanding, teachers may want to use the first problem to demonstrate how to solve a realworld problem, then have students complete the second problem on their own. Assessment: Observation during the SMART board presentation. Completion of the worksheet. Score on the worksheet.
