What’s on grade 4 math
We couldn’t confirm the NSCAS’s own reporting categories for grade 4 on the state’s pages, so the practice set groups its questions by topic:
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
- Comparing with “times as many”
- Multistep word problems, and what to do with a remainder
- Factors, multiples, and prime and composite numbers
Number and Operations in Base Ten
- Place value to a million: the value of a digit, and expanded form
- Rounding and comparing multi-digit numbers
- Adding and subtracting multi-digit numbers
- Word problems with multi-digit numbers
- Multiplying up to four digits by one digit, and two digits by two digits
- Word problems with multiplying
- Dividing up to four digits by one digit
- Money: income, expenses and profit
Number and Operations: Fractions
- Equivalent fractions
- Comparing fractions with different denominators
- Adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators
- Word problems with fractions that have the same denominator
- Multiplying a fraction by a whole number
- Tenths and hundredths as fractions and decimals
Measurement and Data
- Converting customary units: feet and inches, pounds and ounces, hours and minutes
- Area and perimeter of rectangles, including a missing side
- Angle measures that add together
- Line plots with fractions of an inch
Geometry
- Acute, right and obtuse angles; lines and rays
- Sorting shapes by their sides and angles, and lines of symmetry
How to help at home
Do one set, then talk
After a set, look at the ones they missed together. Ask how they got their answer before saying what the right one is.
Little and often
A short set a few times a week does more than a long session the week before.
Use real life
Prices at the store, recipes, distances and times on a trip: grade-level math is everywhere.
Keep it calm
The test checks how the year went. A good night’s sleep helps more than cramming.

With an account, Thena goes over every question your child gets wrong: she puts it back on her board, finds the slip and works it through out loud, then gives them one like it to do alone.
