for Math Check-In
Check-In 1

Resources to support standards being assessed on the NC Check-In first quarter.

Mathematical Practices
1. Make sense of problems and persevere in
solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the
reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structure.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning.

Operations & Algebraic Thinking 4.OA

Use the four operations with whole numbers to solve problems.
4.OA.2 Multiply or divide to solve word problems involving multiplicative comparison, e.g., by using drawings
and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem, distinguishing multiplicative
comparison from additive comparison.1

Operations & Algebraic Thinking 4.OA

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. (addition and subtraction only)
