Grade 4 Tasks

I had the privilege of serving on a committee that prepared Grades 3-5 Mathematics Framework for the State Department of Education.  Here are the tasks I developed while I was on the committee.  I was assigned to the Grade 4 group, and I was to write tasks on multiplication, division, and measurement.  Some of these tasks may be included in the final version of the units at the GA standards web while others may not be.  Nevertheless, I think these are all appropriate tasks for Grade 4 students who fully meet the GPS for Grade 4.
