Answers:
1- 860
We round the number up to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.
We round the number down to the nearest ten if the last digit in the number is 1, 2, 3, or 4.
If the last digit is 0, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the ten.
Therefore, a rounded number of 855 to the nearest ten is 860.
2- A
\(\frac{12}{100}\) is equal to 0.12
3- A
7 days = 1 week
28 days \(= (28 ÷ 7)= 4\) weeks
4- C
Football teams should buy 14 uniforms and each uniform costs $24 so they should pay (14 \(×\) $24) $336.
Therefore, choice C is the correct answer:
\((24 × 10) + (24 × 4) =24(10+14) =24×14 = $336\)
5- C
These: \(98 – 31 = Z\)
\(98 – Z = 31\)
And \(Z + 31 = 98\) are equal.
6- A
This angle is less than \(90^\circ\). just choice A shows an angle less than \(90^\circ\).
7- B
Three-digit odd numbers that have a 6 in the hundreds place and a 3 in the tens place are 631, 633, 635, 637, and 639. 637 is one of the alternatives.
8- D
Tam wants to divide his 390 cards into boxes of 30 cards. So he needs \(390÷30=13\) boxes.
9- C
Subtract hours: \(2 – 6 = -4\)
Subtract the minutes: \(15 – 30 = – 15\)
The minutes are less than 0, so:
• Add 60 to minutes ( \(-15 +60 =45\) minutes)
• Subtract 1 from hours \((-4 – 1 = -5)\) the hours are less than 0, add 24: \((24 – 5 =19)\)
The answer is 19:45 which is equal to 7:45
10- A

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s on the 4 grade New York State Math test?
The New York State Grade 4 Math Test follows the New York State Next Generation Learning Standards for Mathematics (the state’s adaptation of Common Core) and covers multi-digit multiplication and long division, fractions with like denominators, decimals to hundredths, perimeter and area, classifying shapes, and multi-step word problems. Items are grouped into Operations and Algebraic Thinking, Number and Operations in Base Ten, Number and Operations – Fractions, Measurement and Data, and Geometry.
How many questions are on the test?
Grade 4 New York State Math has around 39-43 items split across two sessions, given on consecutive days. Each session lasts about 70-90 minutes. Most students finish well before time runs out.
Is the test paper-based or computer-based?
New York is in the middle of transitioning to computer-based testing (CBT). Many districts now give the test online, while others still use paper. Check with your school. Either way, the content and pacing are the same.
What question types appear?
Multiple choice (selected response), short constructed response (1-2 points where your child shows a quick calculation or explanation), and extended constructed response (3 points where your child writes a fuller solution with work shown). Constructed response counts for roughly a third of points.
Is a calculator allowed?
No – calculators aren’t allowed on grade 4 New York State Math. Your child needs solid recall of multiplication facts and basic operations. A reference sheet isn’t typically provided at grades 3-5.
How is the test scored?
New York reports four performance levels: Level 1 (below standard), Level 2 (partially meeting standard), Level 3 (meeting standard), and Level 4 (exceeding standard). Level 3 is the grade-level target. The grade-4 Math cut for Level 3 is around 313 on the scale score.
When is the test given?
The New York State Grades 3-8 Math Test is given in late April or early May each year. The state publishes the exact window in advance, and your district will confirm the local schedule. Math testing is usually completed within one calendar week.
How is the extended-response item scored?
Extended-response items are scored by trained scorers using a 0-3 rubric. Partial credit is given for clear work, so encourage your child to show every step – even a wrong final answer can earn most of the points if the reasoning is sound.
How should we study for the New York State Math Test?
Three habits help most: (1) 15-20 minutes of focused practice four or five days a week, (2) one full-length timed practice test a couple of weeks before testing, and (3) reviewing every missed item together with your fourth grader to spot real gaps.
