Energy Expenditure Chart

Health in Action Project

1000 Calories

Pillar: Healthy Eating and Active Living

Division: II

Grade Level: 4

Core Curriculum Connections: Math

I. Rationale:

Students will learn about the connection between their food intake and their physical activity levels. They will

use basic problem solving, and computational skills to calculate the calories burned during different activities.

To calculate calorie expenditures, students must also be able to adjust their calculations by performing

addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

II. Pillar Focus (Healthy Eating and Active Living):

Students will be able to:

 describe what a calorie is and what it does in their bodies.

 explain the connection between nutrition, activity level, and overall health.

 articulate the importance of getting most of their calories from healthy foods, so that they will have the

nutrients and energy necessary to grow, play, and learn.

III. Curriculum Outcomes: Grade 4

Number Sense

General Outcome:

Develop number sense.

3. Demonstrate an understanding of addition of numbers with answers to 10 000 and their corresponding

subtractions (limited to 3- and 4- digit numerals) by:

• using personal strategies for adding and subtracting

• estimating sums and differences

• solving problems involving addition and

subtraction. [C, CN, ME, PS, R]

5. Describe and apply mental mathematics strategies,

such as:

• skip counting from a known fact

• using doubling or halving

• using doubling or halving and adding or subtracting one more group

• using patterns in the 9s facts

• using repeated doubling

to determine basic multiplication facts to 9 × 9 and related division facts.
