Grade 4 Worksheets

Fourth grade brings a pronounced increase in academic complexity across every subject. In math, students work with multi-digit multiplication and long division, compare and add fractions with like denominators, explore decimals and place value, convert measurements, and measure angles. Reading and writing expectations rise sharply: students are expected to summarize informational texts, write with sustained focus across narrative and informational genres, use context clues to decode unfamiliar vocabulary, and apply Greek and Latin roots to build word knowledge. Science shifts to physical and Earth systems — weathering, food webs, electricity, and rocks — while social studies explores the American Revolution and US regions.

Fourth grade builds directly on the multiplication concepts introduced in third grade, extending them to multi-digit numbers and connecting them to fractions and decimals. Third-grade readers who could make basic inferences are now expected to analyze author's purpose, compare texts, and write fully developed informational essays. The transition to fifth grade will require comfort with fraction operations, decimal arithmetic, and the ability to cite sources and construct arguments — all of which fourth grade introduces. Students who finish fourth grade with strong fraction sense and writing fluency enter fifth grade at a significant advantage.
