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 \(3\frac{1}{2}\)

Frequently Asked Questions

How many questions were on the 4th Grade PARCC math test?

The original PARCC Grade 4 math test had about 30-40 questions split across 3-4 sessions totaling 90-100 minutes. Many states have replaced PARCC since 2019 – New Jersey uses NJSLA, Illinois uses IAR, and several other former PARCC states adopted their own assessments. The item style stayed similar.

Is a calculator allowed on the 4th Grade PARCC math?

No. Calculators are not allowed on grade 4 math for PARCC or any of its successor tests. On PARCC, calculators only became available starting in grade 6. Your fourth grader needs to be solid on multi-digit arithmetic and fraction operations by hand.

What score did kids need to pass the 4th Grade PARCC?

PARCC reported 5 performance levels. Level 4 (“Meets Expectations”) was the on-grade-level target, and Level 5 was “Exceeds Expectations.” Successor tests like NJSLA use the same 5-level structure with similar cutoffs. The scale score range for Grade 4 math was roughly 650-850, with Level 4 starting near 750.

When is the PARCC test given?

PARCC itself was retired by 2019. Its successor tests (NJSLA, Illinois IAR) follow the same spring schedule, typically April or May. Your school’s testing coordinator can confirm the dates for whichever state assessment your district now uses.

How was the PARCC Grade 4 math scored?

PARCC math used a scale score (roughly 650-850 at grade 4) with one of 5 performance levels. Multiple-choice and technology-enhanced items were auto-scored; constructed-response items got hand-scored by trained readers. Successor tests follow the same scoring model.

Can my child retake the PARCC?

PARCC itself isn’t given anymore. Successor state tests (NJSLA, IAR) are given once per year in spring with no in-year retake. If your child scored below proficient, the next opportunity is the following spring’s grade-5 test.

What math topics were on the 4th Grade PARCC?

PARCC Grade 4 math covered the Common Core Grade 4 standards: place value through 1,000,000, multi-digit multiplication and division, fractions (equivalent fractions, addition/subtraction with like denominators, multiplying fractions by whole numbers), decimals to hundredths, area and perimeter, angle measurement, and basic geometry.

How long should we study for the PARCC or its successor?

About 6-8 weeks of light practice (15-20 minutes a day, 4 days a week) is the sweet spot for grade 4. Start with a diagnostic, focus on the 2-3 weakest topics for the bulk of the time, then finish with full timed practice in the last 1-2 weeks.

Where can I find more PARCC-style practice?

EffortlessMath has free worked-example lessons for every Grade 4 Common Core topic, plus the Common Core Mathematics Workbook for Grade 4 and a multi-test practice bundle. PARCC-style technology-enhanced items practice well with any Common Core-aligned resource.

Is the PARCC aligned with Common Core?

Yes. PARCC was built explicitly to assess Common Core State Standards. Successor tests like NJSLA and IAR also follow Common Core. Any Common Core Grade 4 math materials work as prep.
