Quarter-by-Quarter Comparison

Standard Math vs. Advanced Math (AAP)

StandardGrade 4 level (Virginia SOL 4)
  • Line graphs, probability as fractions 0–1 (≤24 outcomes); 9-digit place value & comparison
  • Multiplication facts through 12×12; factor pairs & GCF; 2- & 3-digit × 1-digit; division with remainders
  • Decimals through thousandths; fraction–decimal equivalence (halves to hundredths); decimal addition/subtraction
  • Like-denominator fraction & mixed number +/−; whole number × unit fraction; quadrilateral & solid classification; US/metric conversions
AAP AdvancedGrade 5 level
  • Line graphs + stem-and-leaf plots; probability with justification; order of operations; 9-digit place value
  • Prime/composite & prime factorization (up to 100); multi-step ×÷ problems; factor pairs & GCF
  • Decimals through thousandths; fraction–decimal equivalence extended (thirds, eighths, factors of 100); mixed fraction & decimal comparison
  • Angle classification & measurement (protractor); triangle classification; unlike-denominator fraction +/−; perimeter, area & volume

수·연산
  • Read, write, and identify place value of nine-digit whole numbers (standard form and word form); compare up to 7-digit numbers using >, <, =, ≠
  • Order up to four whole numbers (up to 7 digits) from least to greatest or greatest to least
  • Estimate (round to nearest 100 or 1,000; compatible numbers) and solve single- and multi-step addition/subtraction real-life problems (addends/minuends ≤ 1,000,000)
확률·자료
  • Organize and represent data in line graphs (title, labeled axes, whole-number increments); analyze trends — greatest, least, same; make inferences, draw conclusions, and make predictions
  • Solve single-step and multi-step addition/subtraction problems using data from line graphs
  • Probability: describe likelihood (impossible, unlikely, equally likely, likely, certain); model all possible outcomes of a simple event (≤24); write probability as a fraction between 0 and 1; relate to whole-number or fractional representation
대수·패턴
  • Identify, describe, extend, and create increasing/decreasing patterns (objects, pictures, numbers, number lines, input/output tables, function machines); find single-operation rules; solve real-life pattern problems
AAP
수·연산
  • Read, write, and identify place value in nine-digit whole numbers (e.g., in 568,165,724 the 8 represents 8 million, value = 8,000,000); compare up to 7-digit numbers (>, <, =, ≠); order up to four 7-digit numbers (least to greatest or greatest to least)
  • Estimate (round to nearest 100 or 1,000; compatible numbers) and solve single- and multi-step addition/subtraction real-life problems (addends/minuends ≤ 1,000,000); refine estimates using 'closer to,' 'between,' 'a little more than'
  • Simplify numerical expressions with whole numbers using the order of operations; estimate, represent, solve, and justify multi-step contextual problems using all four operations with whole numbers
확률·자료
  • Formulate questions, collect data, organize in line graphs (title, labeled axes); analyze trends — greatest, least, same; make inferences, draw conclusions, and make predictions; solve multi-step addition/subtraction problems from graph data
  • Apply the full data cycle (formulate → collect → organize → analyze and communicate) with a focus on stem-and-leaf plots; analyze data and justify interpretations; identify incorrect graphic representations
  • Probability: describe likelihood (impossible, unlikely, equally likely, likely, certain); model all possible outcomes (≤24) using coins, counters, number cubes, spinners; write as fraction 0–1; create real-life probability problems; justify why an interpretation is incorrect
대수·패턴
  • Identify, describe, extend, and create increasing/decreasing patterns (objects, pictures, numbers, number lines, input/output tables, function machines); find single-operation rules; analyze patterns for errors and justify thinking

Key Points for Parents

If your child is in Advanced (AAP) — they are covering Grade 5 levelcontent. They're learning material one grade above their peers, which requires more abstract thinking and problem-solving.

If your child is in Standard — they are completing Grade 4 level (Virginia SOL 4) SOL standards. End-of-year SOL test preparation is important, and if desired, you can work toward AAP placement next year.
