If third grade was about getting comfortable with the basic operations, fourth grade is about putting them to work on a bigger stage. Numbers reach into the hundred-thousands and have to be read, compared, and rounded. Multiplication becomes a two- and three-step procedure. Division begins handing back remainders that have to be interpreted. Fractions turn into real numbers — compared, ordered, added — and decimals make their first appearance, tied quietly to the fractions already in hand. Angles and geometry round out the year. It is a wide stretch of new material.
For a nine- or ten-year-old, that breadth can feel steep. But fourth-grade math is laid out in a logical order, with every skill resting on the one before. A student who practices each piece until it is steady usually finds the whole thing comes together by spring.
And the work matters well past this year. The multi-digit multiplication and division a student practices now is exactly what fifth grade leans on for fractions, area, and multi-step problems. The fraction work — equivalence, comparing, adding — is the groundwork for decimals, ratios, and eventually algebra. Fourth-grade practice is not spent on fourth grade alone; it is the base under every math year still ahead, which is reason enough to take it carefully.
These worksheets are made for that careful, step-by-step climb. Whether your child is in Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, or Boulder, each one isolates a single skill and offers enough practice to make it solid.
What’s on this page
You will find 43 single-skill PDFs here, each aligned to the Colorado Mathematics Standards at Grade 4. Every file stays on exactly one skill, so a student practicing long division is not also being tested on fraction equivalence, and a student working with angles is not sidetracked into multi-digit multiplication.
Each PDF starts with a one-page Quick Review that explains the skill in plain language, with one example worked through completely. Then come 20 practice problems that build from easy to harder, plus 4 word problems that place the skill in a real context. The final page is a student-facing answer key, with short, friendly explanations a fourth grader can read on their own and learn from.

How to use these worksheets at home
The best approach is also the simplest: short, regular sessions. A fourth grader does focused work for about fifteen minutes before attention wanders, so one PDF per sitting is the right size. Two or three of those a week will carry a student steadily through the year without ever feeling like a burden.
Running related skills back to back makes the practice feel connected. Pair “Multiplying by One-Digit Numbers” with “Multiplying by Two-Digit Numbers,” and the second is a clear step up rather than a fresh start. The same works for “Equivalent Fractions” before “Comparing Fractions,” or “Area of Rectangles” right before “Perimeter of Rectangles.” When two worksheets clearly belong together, the first prepares the ground for the second.
Set the answer key aside until the work is done, then review it together. At a table in Boulder or in a classroom in Aurora, that review — working through why an answer is right — is where the real learning takes place.
It is worth treating a rough worksheet as information rather than a judgment. A messy page on subtracting fractions usually means one step — finding the common denominator — needs another look, not that fractions as a whole have slipped away. Because each PDF covers a single skill, that weak spot is easy to locate. Hand your child the same sheet again a few days later; the second attempt is almost always cleaner, and watching that happen teaches something real about how effort turns into skill.
A note about CMAS at Grade 4
Colorado fourth graders take the CMAS Mathematics assessment — the Colorado Measures of Academic Success — in the spring. It is built on the Colorado Mathematics Standards, which are aligned to the Common Core, so the skills on these worksheets and the skills on the test share the same foundation.
The Grade 4 CMAS asks students to reason as well as calculate. They are expected to compare and round large numbers, perform multi-digit multiplication and division, work with factors, multiples, and prime and composite numbers, compare and add fractions, handle the first decimals, measure and reason about angles, and solve multi-step word problems by choosing the right operation. Because each PDF here targets one standard, you can use the collection as a checklist: spot the shaky skill, work that PDF, and leave the strong skills alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics are covered in these Colorado Grade 4 worksheets?
Multi-digit multiplication, long division with one-digit divisors, place value to \(1{,}000{,}000\), equivalent and comparing fractions, adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, multiplying fractions by whole numbers, decimals to hundredths, area and perimeter, measurement conversions, classifying angles and shapes, 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 layout stays clean. Most pages are one or two sheets – easy to staple into weekly packets.
Are the worksheets free?
Yes – every worksheet is a free PDF download. No signup, no email collection, no paid tier. Print one copy at home or a class set for your room. Please don’t repost the files on other sites.
Are these aligned with Colorado’s Academic Standards?
Yes. The pages follow the 2020 Colorado Academic Standards for Mathematics at grade 4, which CMAS 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, works well. If CMAS is coming up, add one weekend session with a timer so your child gets used to pacing. Keep individual sessions short – tired fourth graders just stop learning.
What if my child struggles with a worksheet?
Pause and walk through one problem together out loud. If the whole topic is hard, drop back a level – multiplication facts before long division, equivalent fractions before fraction addition. Filling the missing prerequisite is faster than pushing through frustration.
Is there an answer key?
Yes – every worksheet includes a full step-by-step solution, not just a final answer. That’s especially useful for parents who haven’t done long division or fraction arithmetic in a long time. Walk through it with your child so they see the reasoning.
How should we prep specifically for CMAS Math?
The biggest CMAS Grade 4 math skills are fluent multi-digit multiplication, long division with remainders, comparing fractions, and reading multi-step word problems carefully. Spend extra time on word problems – that’s where most fourth graders leave CMAS points on the table.
Any tips for Colorado parents?
Three habits help most: (1) daily 2-minute multiplication-fact drills, (2) talking about fractions and decimals in everyday situations (cooking, gas mileage, money), and (3) reading word problems aloud before your child writes anything. Hearing the story usually helps the math click.
Where can we find more grade 4 practice?
EffortlessMath has more grade 4 worksheets by topic, the Mastering Grade 4 Math workbook, and a focused Grade 4 Math Word Problems book. The Related Lessons below link to clear step-by-step lessons on the biggest fourth-grade skills.
