ELA/Literacy
RI.4.1 - Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
RI.4.9 - Integrate information from two texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably.
Mathematics
4.OA.A.1 - Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 x 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
MP.2 - Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
MP.4 - Model with mathematics.
