A fourth grader’s math notebook starts to look different around this time of year. The problems are longer. There is more writing, more crossing-out, more space taken up by a single multiplication. That is not a sign anything is going wrong — it is the shape of fourth-grade math. This is the year multiplication becomes a multi-step procedure, division starts producing remainders, large numbers have to be read and rounded, and fractions become real numbers a student compares and adds rather than shapes a student colors.
For a nine- or ten-year-old, all of that is genuinely demanding. What makes it doable is the order it comes in. Fourth-grade math is sequential — each skill stands on the one before it — and a student who practices each piece until it is steady usually finds the structure holds together.
It also helps to keep the long view. Fourth grade is a foundational year: the multi-digit multiplication and division a student practices now is the exact machinery fifth grade uses for fractions, area, and multi-step problems, and the fraction work this year is what decimals, ratios, and eventually algebra are built from. Practice put in now is not spent on this year alone — it is laid down beneath every math year that follows, which is a good reason not to rush it.
These worksheets are built for that orderly, one-skill-at-a-time work. Whether your child is in Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, or Stamford, each one focuses on a single skill and gives enough practice to make it dependable.
What’s on this page
There are 43 single-skill PDFs on this page, each aligned to the Connecticut Mathematics Standards at Grade 4. Every file holds to one skill only, so a student practicing fraction addition is not also wrestling with line plots, and a student on multi-digit division is not pulled into quadrilaterals.
Each PDF opens with a one-page Quick Review: the skill explained in plain language, with a single example worked all the way through. Then 20 practice problems that climb from easy to challenging, plus 4 word problems that set the skill in a real context. The closing page is a student-facing answer key, with short, friendly explanations a fourth grader can read alone and actually learn from.

How to use these worksheets at home
The most reliable plan is a quiet one: short sessions, repeated regularly. A fourth grader has about fifteen good minutes of focus, so treat one PDF as a complete sitting and stop while it is still going well. Two or three of those across a week is enough to keep a student moving forward all year.
Pairing skills that build on each other is what makes the practice feel like a sequence rather than a stack. Do “Adding Multi-Digit Whole Numbers,” then “Subtracting Multi-Digit Whole Numbers” — the second leans on the first. Pair “Equivalent Fractions” with “Comparing Fractions,” or “Area of Rectangles” with “Perimeter of Rectangles.” When two worksheets clearly belong together, the first quietly teaches part of the second.
Keep the answer key back until the work is finished, then review it together. At a kitchen table in New Haven or in a classroom in Hartford, that review — talking through why an answer works — is where the understanding actually settles in.
When a worksheet goes badly, read it as a clue rather than a grade. A page full of crossed-out tries on long division usually points to one step — the estimating, or what to do with the remainder — that needs another look, not to a child who “can’t divide.” The single-skill format makes that exact spot easy to find. Give your child the same sheet again later in the week; the repeat run is almost always cleaner, and seeing that improvement teaches its own lesson about how practice works.
A note about SBAC at Grade 4
Connecticut fourth graders take the Connecticut SBAC Mathematics assessment in the spring. It is built on the Connecticut Mathematics Standards, which are aligned to the Common Core, so the skills these worksheets practice and the skills the test measures grow from the same root.
The Grade 4 SBAC asks for reasoning, not just answers. Students are expected to compare and round multi-digit numbers, multiply and divide with multi-digit numbers, reason about factors, multiples, and prime versus composite numbers, compare and add fractions, work with the first decimals, and solve multi-step word problems that require choosing and explaining an approach. It mixes selected-response items with constructed-response and performance tasks. Because each PDF here targets one standard, the set works as a checklist — find the skill that is shaky, work that PDF, and leave the solid ones alone.
A short closing
Fourth-grade math takes up more space on the page, but it still moves in order, and a student gets through it one skill at a time. Bookmark this page, print one PDF tonight, and let your child start somewhere small. Connecticut kids do hard work well when the next step is clear — and a worksheet on the table is a clear next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics are covered in these Connecticut Grade 4 worksheets?
Multi-digit multiplication, long division with one-digit divisors, place value through millions, 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). Use 100% scale on letter paper so the boxes and number lines stay aligned. Most pages are one or two sheets – easy to staple into a focused weekly packet.
Are these worksheets really free?
Yes – every worksheet is a free PDF download. No login, no email, no paywall. Print one copy or a class set. We just ask that the PDFs aren’t reposted on other sites.
Are these aligned with Connecticut’s standards?
Yes. The pages follow the Connecticut Core Standards for Mathematics at grade 4 (Connecticut’s adoption of the Common Core), which Smarter Balanced 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 plenty. If SBAC is coming up, add one Saturday session with a timer so your child gets used to working under a clock. Don’t push through fatigue.
What should I do if my child struggles?
Pause and walk through one problem together out loud. If the whole topic is too hard, drop a level – multiplication facts before long division, equivalent fractions before fraction addition. Filling the missing prerequisite is faster than pushing through.
Is there an answer key?
Yes – every worksheet PDF includes a step-by-step answer key. For fourth graders, walking through the answer key together teaches more than just marking a page. Ask your child to explain each step out loud.
How is SBAC scored at grade 4 in Connecticut?
SBAC reports a scale score plus an achievement level (Level 1 through Level 4). Level 3 is “Met” and Level 4 is “Exceeded.” The grade-4 math Met cut score is currently 2485. Schools also see strand-level results so teachers know where to focus instruction.
Any tips for Connecticut parents new to fourth-grade math?
Three habits help most: (1) daily 2-minute multiplication-fact drills, (2) talking about fractions and decimals during cooking or shopping, 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 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 clear step-by-step explanations of the trickiest fourth-grade skills.
