Standards Covered
- OGM.5.MD.4Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 5 / Grade 4 (Age 9) · Grade 4Apply formulas for the perimeter and area of rectangles, squares (P = 2l + 2w, P = 4s, A = l × w), and composite rectilinear figures (using cm², dm², m²); explore the relationship between fixed perimeter and varying area and vice versa.
- OGM.5.MD.2Open Global Math Standards 2026™ · Math · Level 5 / Grade 4 (Age 9) · Grade 4Use the four operations to solve real-world problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses/weights of objects, scale instruments with partial and unmarked units, and money (involving fractions and decimals).
