Fourth grade is the year the pieces of math start connecting to each other. Up to now a child has collected skills the way you collect stones on a walk — multiplication facts here, a sense of fractions there, some early measurement somewhere else. In fourth grade those separate stones get built into something. Multiplication becomes a tool for multi-digit problems and for comparing quantities. Fractions stop being slices and become numbers you can order and add. Place value stretches into the hundred-thousands and starts to matter for real — a child has to see that the 4 in 40,000 is worth ten times the 4 in 4,000 before any of the bigger arithmetic makes sense.
That connection is the gift of the year, and it is also what can make it feel heavy. A fourth grader learns that 3/4 and 9/12 are the same number, that a mixed number like 2 1/2 has a whole part and a fraction part, that 0.7 and 7/10 are two names for one value, that a remainder is information rather than a loose end. Each idea is reasonable on its own. The difficulty is the pace — they arrive close together, and a child can feel lost simply because the last skill had not quite settled.
That is what makes the year foundational. A fourth grader works through multi-digit multiplication and division with remainders, factors and multiples, multi-step word problems, number patterns, equivalent and comparable fractions, adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, mixed numbers, decimals to the hundredths, angle measurement, telling area from perimeter, and the geometry of classifying shapes. Get those steady, and fifth grade has somewhere solid to stand.
These worksheets were made for steady, unhurried work. Whether your fourth grader is in Burlington, Essex, Rutland, or Montpelier, they hand over one clear skill at a time, with enough practice for it to settle in.
What’s on this page
You will find 43 single-skill PDFs here, each aligned to the Vermont Mathematics Standards at Grade 4. Every file holds one skill and nothing else — so a student practicing decimals to the hundredths is not also being asked to classify angles, and a student on long division is not pulled into line plots.
Each PDF opens with a one-page Quick Review that explains the skill plainly and walks through a worked example. Then come 20 practice problems that build from gentle to genuinely challenging, followed by 4 word problems that set the skill in a real situation. The last page is a student-facing answer key — short, friendly explanations a fourth grader can read on their own and actually learn from.

How to use these worksheets at home
Keep it small and keep it regular. A Vermont school year has plenty of quiet evenings, but a fourth grader does not need a long one — fifteen minutes with a single PDF does more good than a stretched-out hour with half a child’s attention. Two steady afternoons a week, made predictable, and the routine starts doing the work for you.
Teach skills in pairs that build. Run “Multiplying by One-Digit Numbers” and then “Multiplying by Two-Digit Numbers,” with a place value page first if keeping the columns aligned is what trips your child. Do “Equivalent Fractions,” then “Comparing Fractions,” so the second rests on the first — once a child can rename 2/3 as 8/12, deciding whether it beats 7/12 takes no guessing. Carry that forward into mixed numbers, which are just whole numbers traveling with a fraction. Pair “Adding Fractions with Like Denominators” with “Subtracting Fractions with Like Denominators” — same denominators, opposite move, and the contrast clarifies both. Set multi-digit division beside a page on interpreting remainders, so the leftover gets read as part of the answer. And do “Area of Rectangles” alongside “Perimeter of Rectangles,” one question about covering the shape and one about bordering it, so the two never blur. When the second worksheet grows out of the first, the child starts from familiar ground every time.
Once a few of those arithmetic pairs feel solid, fold in the geometry and measurement pages — measuring angles, classifying triangles and quadrilaterals, reading decimals to the hundredths. They draw on a different kind of attention, and the change of pace keeps a long winter of homework from going flat. It also helps to loop back: every couple of weeks, pull a finished worksheet and have your child redo a few problems cold, so a skill that has slipped gets caught early.
And keep the answer key for after the work. Let your child finish, then check their own page and read the explanations for whatever they missed. That self-check — catching the slip, understanding the fix — is where the real learning lives, and it is a habit worth building early.
A note about SBAC at Grade 4
Vermont fourth graders take the Smarter Balanced (SBAC) Mathematics assessment in the spring. It is built on the Vermont Mathematics Standards, so the skills these worksheets practice and the skills the test measures come from the same source.
The Grade 4 SBAC asks students to reason, not just recall. It expects them to solve multi-step word problems, to explain their thinking, to justify why two fractions are equivalent, to interpret what a remainder means, to compare decimals to the hundredths, and to apply a skill in a setting they have not seen before. It pairs straightforward questions with deeper tasks that take several moves to finish. Because each PDF here targets one standard, you can treat the spring window as a checklist — see clearly what your child has down and what is still shaky, and spend practice time only where it is needed, rather than reviewing everything at the same thin depth.
A short closing
Fourth-grade math is a real climb, but it is taken one skill, one short sitting at a time. The long list of topics is not a single mountain; it is a set of small steps. Bookmark this page, print a single PDF tonight, and let your fourth grader begin somewhere small. Vermont kids do careful work well when the next step is clear — and a worksheet on the kitchen table is a clear next step.

Frequently Asked Questions
What topics are covered in these Vermont 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 number lines and answer boxes stay aligned. Most pages are one or two sheets – easy to staple into a 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 Vermont math standards?
Yes. Vermont uses the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, and these grade-4 pages match that blueprint – the same one VTCAP and Smarter Balanced are 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. As VTCAP testing gets close, add a longer Saturday session a couple of weeks out so your child can practice pacing. Don’t keep going if your child is tired – tired kids stop learning.
What if my child struggles with a worksheet?
Pause and walk through one problem together out loud. If a whole topic feels too hard, drop back to the prerequisite – multiplication facts before long division, or equivalent fractions before adding fractions. Filling the missing skill is faster than fighting through frustration.
Is there an answer key?
Yes – every worksheet PDF includes a worked answer key (usually on the last page or in a matching answer file). For fourth graders, walking through the steps together teaches more than just handing back a graded page.
How should we prep for VTCAP math specifically?
VTCAP uses the Smarter Balanced computer-adaptive engine, with drag-and-drop, equation-builder, and performance-task items along with multiple choice. Let your child practice on a computer occasionally, and make sure they can show their work on a performance task – that’s where many fourth graders lose points.
Any tips for Vermont 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, time), 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 step-by-step explanations of the biggest fourth-grade skills.
