Grade 4 Curriculum

Learners analyse character, theme and author's purpose, compare two texts on one topic, and write opinion and informational essays that quote and cite the texts they used.

Learners multiply and divide multi-digit numbers, add and subtract fractions with like denominators, work with decimals in money and measurement, and classify angles and shapes.

Learners investigate energy transfer, properties and changes of matter, ecosystem relationships and earth processes, keeping structured science notebooks throughout.

Learners study Liberia's founding, its peoples before and after 1822, key national figures, and Liberia's position in West Africa, working from timelines and simple primary sources.

Learners build multi-scene projects with variables, lists, conditionals and user input, applying planning, testing and iteration on a defined brief.

Learners apply the engineering design process to constrained build challenges, study levers, gears and structures, and test and improve prototypes with measurement.

Learners collect data through surveys and measurement, organise it in spreadsheets, choose appropriate charts, calculate averages and question how data can mislead.

Learners build strong passwords, understand digital footprint, recognise unsafe contact and unkind behaviour, and learn what to do and whom to tell.

Learners build simple budgets, compare prices for value, track saving toward a goal and understand borrowing at a basic level.

Learners study body systems, nutrition, hygiene and safety, practise emotional regulation and conflict resolution, and develop sport-specific skills and fitness.

Learners place Liberia inside West Africa: trade routes, neighbouring states, the Atlantic slave trade in age-appropriate terms, and the growth of the Republic through the nineteenth century.

Learners study the services government provides — schools, clinics, roads, water — how they are paid for in simple terms, and how citizens can raise a problem with the people responsible.
