4.     Use pictures, models, tables, charts, graphs, words, number sentences, and mathematical notations to interpret mathematical relationships.  (4.P.4)

5.     Solve problems involving proportional relationships, including unit pricing (e.g., four apples cost 80¢, so one apple costs 20¢) and map interpretation (e.g., one inch represents five miles, so two inches represent ten miles).  (4.P.5)

6.     Determine how change in one variable relates to a change in a second variable, e.g., input-output tables. (4.P.6)
