1) The document provides the Idaho content standards for 4th grade mathematics. It outlines 8 goals covering number and operation, computation, and estimation. 2) For each goal there are multiple objectives that specify skills students should master by 4th grade. The objectives are coded by cognitive level and whether a calculator can be used. 3) Shaded objectives are taught but not assessed on the Idaho Student Achievement Test (ISAT). The document provides details on content limits and formats for assessing each objective.
