There is a moment in fourth grade when a child looks at a math problem and realizes it will not be finished in a single line. That moment is the whole year in miniature. Numbers now stretch into the hundred-thousands and have to be read, rounded, and compared. Multiplication becomes a multi-step procedure. Division produces remainders that mean something and have to be interpreted. Word problems ask for a plan before they ask for an answer. Math has become something a student builds, not just something they recall.
Fractions are a big part of that shift. They move from a slice of something into genuine numbers — ones a child has to find equivalents for, compare, and add and subtract when the denominators agree. Mixed numbers appear, and so does multiplying a fraction by a whole number. Decimals to the hundredths arrive, and a student starts to see how a decimal and a fraction can describe the exact same amount. Angles, area and perimeter, and line plots round out the year, along with multi-step word problems that reward a child who plans before reaching for the numbers. It is a full, foundational year, and it rewards patience.
These worksheets were designed for patient, one-skill-at-a-time work. Whether your fourth grader is in Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, or Bozeman, each PDF takes a single skill and gives it the space to settle in.
What’s on this page
There are 43 single-skill PDFs on this page, each aligned to the Montana Mathematics Standards at Grade 4. Every file holds to exactly one skill, so a student practicing division with remainders is not also being quizzed on angle types, and a student on equivalent fractions is not pulled sideways into decimal place value.
Each PDF begins with a one-page Quick Review that lays out the skill in plain words and works through an example start to finish. Then come 20 practice problems that rise gently from easy to harder, followed by 4 word problems that set the skill in a real context. The closing page is a student-facing answer key, written so a fourth grader can check their own work and trace exactly where an answer went off course.

How to use these worksheets at home
Short and steady is the rule. Fifteen minutes is the right length for a nine- or ten-year-old, and a calm quarter hour beats a long, frustrated stretch every single time. Choose one PDF, sit nearby, and let your child work while you stay available for the stuck moments.
It helps a great deal to run related skills back to back, so each one reinforces the last. Try “Multiplying by One-Digit Numbers” and then “Multiplying by Two-Digit Numbers” — the second is a clear extension of the first. The same works for “Equivalent Fractions” before “Comparing Fractions,” or “Area of Rectangles” right before “Perimeter of Rectangles.” When skills come in pairs, the link between them teaches almost on its own.
Keep the answer key set aside until the work is finished, then walk through it together. In a house in Missoula or a classroom in Bozeman, that review is where the learning takes hold — not in a flawless first attempt, but in seeing clearly why a method gives the right result. Have your child talk one problem through out loud; explaining a step is how it becomes theirs.
There is no need to rush the stack. Some weeks one PDF is the whole of what you will get to, and that is genuinely fine. At nine and ten, steady wins. A child who reaches spring with a solid grip on place value, multi-digit multiplication, and the foundations of fractions is far better set up than one who hurried through every page without the ideas settling in.
A note about MAST at Grade 4
Montana fourth graders take the MAST — the Montana Aligned to Standards Through-year assessment — in Mathematics. Rather than a single spring sitting, MAST is given across three through-year windows in fall, winter, and spring, so it checks in on student progress more than once. It is built on the Montana Mathematics Standards, which are aligned to the Common Core, meaning the skills on these worksheets and the skills on the assessment come from the same place.
At Grade 4, MAST asks students to round and compare large numbers, carry out multi-digit multiplication and division, reason about factors and multiples, compare and combine fractions, work with decimals to the hundredths, and solve multi-step word problems that require choosing an operation. Because each PDF here targets one standard, and because MAST checks in across the year, the list works beautifully as a running checklist — after each window, you can see exactly which skills need another pass and work just those.

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics are covered in these Montana 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, angle measurement, 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 put into a short weekly practice packet.
Are these worksheets really free?
Yes – every worksheet is a free PDF download. No login, no email, no paywall. Print as many copies as you need for one child or a whole classroom. Please don’t repost the PDF files on other sites.
Are these aligned with the Montana math standards?
Yes. The pages follow the Montana Content Standards for Mathematics at grade 4, the same standards MAST is built on. 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. Because MAST is a through-year test with three windows, steady practice all year matters more than a last-minute push. Keep individual sessions short – tired kids stop learning.
What if my child struggles with a worksheet?
Pause and walk through one problem together out loud. If the whole topic is too hard, drop back a level – review multiplication facts before long division, or equivalent fractions before adding fractions. Filling missing prerequisites is faster than pushing through frustration.
Is there an answer key?
Yes – every worksheet PDF includes a full-solution answer key (usually on the last page or in a matching answer file). For fourth graders, walking through the steps together teaches more than handing back a graded page.
How should we prep for MAST specifically?
MAST is given online in three windows during the year. Because it’s a through-year test, the most effective prep is steady weekly practice rather than cramming. Make sure your child is comfortable with multi-digit operations, fractions, and multi-step word problems before each window.
Any tips for Montana parents new to fourth-grade math?
Three habits help most: (1) quick daily multiplication-fact drills, (2) talking about fractions and decimals at home (cooking, sharing, measuring), and (3) reading every word problem aloud before your child writes anything. Hearing the story almost always helps a fourth grader figure out 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 clear, step-by-step explanations of the trickiest fourth-grade skills.
