- Short, focused practice (15-20 minutes per page) works better than long sessions for most fourth graders.
Think of fourth-grade math as the year a student stops walking and starts hiking. The terrain is familiar — it is still addition, still multiplication, still fractions — but the ground rises. Numbers stretch into the hundred-thousands. Multiplication becomes a multi-step climb. Division starts handing back remainders. Fractions become numbers you compare and add, not just shapes you shade. It is a real ascent, and like any good hike, it goes best when you take it one section at a time.
What makes the year manageable is that the trail is well marked. Every fourth-grade skill builds on the one before it, and a student who gets focused practice on each piece arrives at the top steadier than one who tried to rush.
It is worth saying plainly: this is a foundational year. The multi-digit multiplication a fourth grader practices now becomes the engine behind fractions, area, and the multi-step problems of fifth grade. The fraction work — equivalence, comparing, adding — is the soil that decimals and, much later, algebra grow out of. Getting these skills steady is not a chore that ends in June; it is the base camp for everything ahead.
These worksheets are built to be those marked sections. Whether your child is in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, or Wasilla, each one offers a single skill, clearly explained, with enough practice to make it stick before moving on.
What’s on this page
There are 43 single-skill PDFs here, each aligned to the Alaska Mathematics Standards at Grade 4. Every file stays on one skill and one skill only — so a student working through long division is not also juggling symmetry, and a student on decimal place value is not distracted by area formulas.
Each PDF opens with a one-page Quick Review: the skill explained in plain language, with one example worked all the way through. Then 20 practice problems that build from gentle to genuinely challenging, plus 4 word problems that drop the skill into a real-world setting. The final page is a student-facing answer key, written with short, friendly explanations a fourth grader can read alone and learn from.

How to use these worksheets at home
You do not need an elaborate system. A couple of quiet afternoons a week, one PDF per sitting, is enough to move a student forward all year. Most of these take about fifteen minutes — short enough that a nine-year-old will sit down without a fight.
The trick that makes practice feel lighter is pairing skills that lean on each other. Do “Multiplying by One-Digit Numbers” and then “Multiplying by Two-Digit Numbers,” and the second is a step up rather than a wall. Run “Equivalent Fractions” before “Comparing Fractions,” or “Area of Rectangles” right before “Perimeter of Rectangles.” Each pair lets the first worksheet quietly prepare the way for the second.
Hand back the answer key only after the work is done, then sit and review it together. In a home in Juneau or a classroom outside Fairbanks, that review is where the understanding actually settles — a child reading why an answer works learns far more than a child who simply got it right.
And when a worksheet goes sideways, read it as a map rather than a grade. A rough page on subtracting fractions usually points to one step — finding the common denominator, say — that needs another look, not to a child who “can’t do fractions.” Because each PDF covers just one skill, that weak spot is easy to find. Pull the same sheet out again later in the week; the second attempt almost always goes smoother, and that improvement is a lesson in itself.
A note about AK STAR at Grade 4
Alaska fourth graders take the Alaska System of Academic Readiness (AK STAR) Mathematics assessment in the spring. It is built on the Alaska Mathematics Standards, which align to the Common Core — meaning the skills on these worksheets and the skills on the test grow from the same root.
At Grade 4, AK STAR asks for more than quick recall. Students are expected to read and compare large numbers, multiply and divide multi-digit numbers, reason about factors, multiples, and prime versus composite numbers, compare and add fractions, handle early decimals, and untangle multi-step word problems. Since each PDF here aims at one standard, you can use the collection as a checklist — find the skill that is wobbly, work that PDF, and leave the solid skills alone.
A short closing
Fourth-grade math is a climb, but it is a marked one, and a student gets up it one section at a time. Bookmark this page, print one PDF tonight, and let your child start small. Alaska kids are used to long trails — this one just needs a clear next step, and a worksheet on the table is exactly that.

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics are covered in these Alaska Grade 4 worksheets?
Multi-digit multiplication (up to four digits by one digit and two digits by two digits), long division with one-digit divisors, place value to \(1{,}000{,}000\), comparing and equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, decimals to hundredths, area and perimeter, measurement conversions, lines and angles, and multi-step word problems.
How do I print these worksheets?
Click any worksheet to open the PDF, then print from your browser (Ctrl/Cmd + P). Set scale to 100% on letter-size paper so the problem boxes and number lines stay aligned. Most pages are one or two sheets – easy to staple into short weekly packets.
Are the worksheets really free?
Yes – every worksheet on this page is a free download. No account, no email, no paid tier. Print as many copies as you need for one child or a whole classroom. We only ask that the PDFs aren’t reposted on other sites.
Are these aligned with the Alaska Mathematics Standards?
Yes. The pages map to Alaska’s 2012 Mathematics Standards for grade 4, which AK STAR uses as its blueprint. That covers Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Number and Operations in Base Ten, Number and Operations – Fractions, Measurement and Data, and Geometry.
How often should my fourth grader practice?
For most kids, 15-20 minutes a day, four or five days a week, is the sweet spot. Two short sessions (one after school, one before dinner) often work better than one long stretch. The goal is steady practice, not exhausting marathons.
What should I do if my child struggles with a worksheet?
Stop and walk through one problem together out loud. If a whole topic feels too hard – say, long division – step back a level and review the prerequisite (in this case, multiplication facts and place value). Most fourth-grade math struggles trace back to a missing earlier skill.
Is there an answer key?
Yes – every worksheet PDF includes an answer key (usually on the last page or in a matching answer file). For fourth graders, going over the answers together is more useful than just marking right or wrong. Ask your child to explain how they solved each one.
How should we prep specifically for AK STAR?
The biggest AK STAR Grade 4 math skills are fluent multi-digit multiplication, long division, comparing fractions, and multi-step word problems. Make sure your child can read a word problem, identify the operation, and check the answer for reasonableness. Those three habits carry through the whole test.
Any tips for Alaska parents new to fourth-grade math?
Three things help most: (1) keep multiplication facts sharp with quick daily drills, (2) talk about fractions in real life (“the dog ate \(\tfrac{3}{4}\) of the food”), and (3) read every word problem aloud before your child writes anything. Kids who hear the story usually solve the math.
Where can we get more grade 4 practice?
EffortlessMath has more grade 4 worksheets organized by topic, the Mastering Grade 4 Math workbook, and a focused Grade 4 Math Word Problems book. The Related Lessons section below links to step-by-step explanations of the trickiest fourth-grade topics.
