BARCODE FOR PRICES:

The JOURNEY THROUGH MATHS STUDENT BOOK 4 NEW EDITION (PCTB) is a crucial mathematics textbook for Primary level (Class 4) students.¹ It is part of the established “Journey Through Maths” series by Paramount Books and is fully aligned with the 2020 National Curriculum of Pakistan (PCTB).²

This book serves as a bridge, transitioning students from foundational arithmetic to more complex number systems, operations, and introductory concepts of Algebra and advanced Geometry. The curriculum deepens the focus on problem-solving, critical thinking, and the application of mathematical skills in real-life contexts.³

Book Details

Curriculum Focus

The Class 4 curriculum typically expands the following areas:

• Whole Numbers: Extending the number range up to 100,000 or more, including reading, writing, and comparing large numbers. Reinforcing the concept of place value and rounding.
• Operations and Properties: Solidifying skills in all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) involving large numbers, including multi-digit multiplication and long division. Introducing properties of numbers (e.g., factors, multiples, prime, and composite numbers).
• Fractions and Decimals: Deepening the understanding of fractions (equivalent fractions, comparison, addition/subtraction of like fractions). Introducing the relationship between fractions and basic decimals.
• Geometry: Introducing more advanced geometric concepts such as types of lines (parallel, intersecting, perpendicular) and two-dimensional figures like triangles and quadrilaterals based on their properties.
• Measurement: Calculating the area and perimeter of rectangular figures. Working with standard units for time, length, mass, and capacity, and performing conversions between units (e.g., meters to kilometers).
• Data Handling: Constructing and interpreting bar graphs and line graphs.

Key Pedagogical Features

The book’s design is focused on student engagement and academic rigor:

• Curriculum Alignment: Ensures a comprehensive foundation by covering every aspect of the 2020 National Curriculum of Pakistan for Class 4.
• Conceptual Clarity: Uses detailed explanations and clear visuals to support understanding, which is essential as the complexity of the topics increases.⁴
• Extensive Practice: Includes ample practice opportunities and challenging activities to facilitate the progressive mastery of mathematical concepts and higher-level problem-solving skills.⁵

   

• Promotes Autonomy: The step-by-step approach is designed to foster critical thinking and learner autonomy, encouraging students to monitor their own progress and make connections across different areas of mathematics.⁶
