Answers:

2- A
\(1\) issue\(= $4\)
How many issue? \(= $72\)
\($72 ÷ $4= 18\) issue

3- C
Use perimeter of triangle formula.
\(P = a + b + c\)
\(P = 12 + 15 + 16 = 43\) inches

4- C
Use perimeter of rectangle formula.
\(P = 2(L + W)\)
\(60 = 2(10+W) ⇒ 2W = 40 ⇒ W = 20 \)feet

5- B
An obtuse triangle is one with one obtuse angle (greater than 90\(^\circ\)) and two acute angles. Since a triangle’s angles must sum to 180\(^\circ\), no triangle can have more than one obtuse angle.

6- C
\(1\) foot \(= 0.333 \)yard
So \(36\) foot \(= 12\) yards \((36 × 0.33)\)

7- B
The sum of \(A\) and \(B\) equals \(35: A + B = 35\), if \(A = 16\) we have \(16 +B = 35\)

8- D
\(A = 108 ÷ 9 = 12\)

9- B
Sum of these three angle are 180\(^\circ\).
\(A^\circ + 80^\circ + 16^\circ = 180^\circ\)
\(A^\circ =180^\circ – 96^\circ = 84^\circ\)

10- C
Use perimeter of trapezoid formula.
\(P = a + b + c + d\)
\(P = 2+ 6 + 2+ 8 =18\)

11- B
Low temperature is 24\(^\circ\)f cooler than the temperature at 12:00 PM that is 76of, that means low temperature is 52\(^\circ\)f (76\(^\circ\)f \(-\) 24\(^\circ\)f) that is close to choice B

12- A
\((4 × 10) + (7 × 1) + (6 × 0.01) = 40 + 7 + 0.06 = 47.06\)

13- D
1 year \(=\) 365 days, 1 day \(=\) 24 hours
1 year \(=\) 365 × 24
1 year \(=\) 8,760

14- B
Each game = \(\frac{11}{2}\) hours = 90 minutes so 3 games = \(\frac{41}{2}\) hours = 270 minutes
5minutes between each game, so there is 10 minutes in total between 3 games.
She arrives 15 minutes before first game and left 10 minutes after the last game.
In total she was \(270+10+15+10 =305\) minutes at the soccer field.

15- A
You can find if a shape has a Line of Symmetry by folding it. When the folded part sits perfectly on top (all edges matching), then the fold line is a Line of Symmetry. Here the first shape shows a line of symmetry.

16- B
Find the least common denominator (LCD), then rewriting each term as an equivalent fraction with the LCD. Then we compare the numerators of each fraction and put them in correct order from least to greatest or greatest to least.
LCD of 2, 8, 4 and 16 is 16. Rewrite the input fractions as equivalent fractions using the LCD:
A. \(\frac{8}{16}\)
B. \(\frac{6}{16}\)
C. \(\frac{12}{16}\)
D. \(\frac{9}{16}\)
So choice B has the least value.

17- D
12 pastilles\(=\) 1 box
336 pastilles\(=\) (\(336 ÷12 = 28\)) boxes

18- 64

Use volume of cube formula:
V\(=a^3\)
V\(=4^3 =64\)

19- C
Arrow shows exactly the middle of two numbers 25 and 35, so the answer is 30

20- A
This shape shows 3 complete shaded triangles and a half of a triangle that is equal to \(3\frac{1}{2}\)

For a workbook your child can use alongside this practice test, the Common Core Grade 4 Math Workbook covers every CCSS standard with worked examples at the right level. For full state-test prep with multiple practice tests, see the Common Core Grade 4 Math Test Prep Bundle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What math topics are on the 4th-grade Common Core test?

The Grade 4 CCSS math standards cover five domains: Operations and Algebraic Thinking (multiplication facts, factors, multiples), Number and Operations in Base Ten (multi-digit arithmetic, place value through one million), Number and Operations — Fractions (equivalent fractions, comparing, adding/subtracting like fractions), Measurement and Data (units, area, perimeter, line plots), and Geometry (angles, lines, two-dimensional shapes).

How many questions should I expect on a real test?

State tests vary. The NY State grade 4 math test has about 24 multiple-choice questions plus a few short-answer items across two sessions. Florida’s FAST math has about 30-35 questions. Texas STAAR has 32 questions for grade 4. This practice test is comparable in length and difficulty.

Is a calculator allowed?

No. Calculators are not permitted on most 4th-grade state math tests, including the NY State test, FAST, STAAR, and SBAC. Kids should practice multi-digit multiplication and long division by hand. Some states allow a multiplication chart on test day — check your state’s accommodation policy.

What’s the hardest part of 4th-grade math?

For most kids, the two biggest jumps from 3rd grade are: (1) multi-digit multiplication (like 23 x 47) and long division, and (2) fraction work, especially equivalent fractions and comparing fractions with different denominators. Start your prep there if those topics feel shaky.

How do I help my child with fractions?

Start with visual models: fraction bars, circle wedges, or number lines. Equivalent fractions click when kids see \(1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8\) drawn out. For adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators, use the same visuals. For comparing fractions with unlike denominators, common denominators are key but visual benchmarks (closer to 0, 1/2, or 1?) help too.

What’s the difference between Common Core and state standards?

Most U.S. states adopted the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for math around 2010. Some states like Texas, Virginia, and Florida use their own standards (TEKS, SOL, BEST) that overlap heavily with CCSS but use different language and sometimes different topic order. The underlying math your child needs is essentially the same.

How long is the 4th-grade math test?

It varies by state. New York gives about 70 minutes per session across two sessions. Florida FAST is about 80 minutes total. Texas STAAR allows 4 hours but most kids finish in 90-120 minutes. This practice test should take a focused student 45-60 minutes.

How should we prepare for the 4th-grade math test?

Plan 4-8 weeks at 15-20 minutes a day. Start with a diagnostic to identify the weakest topic (usually fractions or word problems). Spend 10 minutes a day on that topic, then 10 minutes on a mix of other topics. In the final week, do 1-2 full practice tests under timed conditions.

What if my child finishes the test fast?

Speed without accuracy is a warning sign. Have them go back and double-check every answer — especially word problems. Re-reading the question is the single highest-yield review for grade 4. Many wrong answers come from misreading what the problem asked.

Where can I find more 4th-grade Common Core practice?

EffortlessMath has the Common Core Grade 4 Math Workbook covering every standard with worked examples, plus the Common Core Grade 4 Math Test Prep Bundle with multiple full-length timed practice tests modeled on the real exam.
