Connecticut Smarter Balanced Grade 4 Math Practice Questions with Answer Explanations

The questions below are original Grade 4 review questions. They are not official state test items, but they target common Grade 4 math skills students should understand.

Question 1 - Place value relationships

In the number 58,324, how many times greater is the value of the 8 than the value of the 2?

  1. 4 times greater
  2. 40 times greater
  3. 400 times greater
  4. 4,000 times greater
Answer: 400 times greater

The 8 is in the thousands place, so its value is 8,000. The 2 is in the tens place, so its value is 20. Since 8,000 / 20 = 400, the value of the 8 is 400 times greater.

Question 2 - Rounding multi-digit numbers

Round 483,921 to the nearest ten thousand.

  1. 480,000
  2. 484,000
  3. 490,000
  4. 500,000
Answer: 480,000

The ten-thousands digit is 8. Look at the thousands digit, which is 3. Since 3 is less than 5, keep the 8 and change the digits to the right to zeros.

Question 3 - Multiplicative comparison

A ribbon is 6 inches long. Another ribbon is 5 times as long. How long is the second ribbon?

  1. 11 inches
  2. 24 inches
  3. 30 inches
  4. 56 inches
Answer: 30 inches

The phrase 5 times as long means multiply. 6 x 5 = 30, so the second ribbon is 30 inches long.

Question 4 - Multi-digit multiplication

What is 34 x 27?

  1. 718
  2. 818
  3. 918
  4. 1,018
Answer: 918

Break 27 into 20 + 7. 34 x 20 = 680 and 34 x 7 = 238. Add 680 + 238 = 918.

Question 5 - Division with remainders

A teacher has 95 markers and puts 8 markers in each box. How many full boxes can the teacher make?

  1. 10
  2. 11
  3. 12
  4. 13
Answer: 11

95 / 8 = 11 remainder 7 because 8 x 11 = 88 and 95 - 88 = 7. The teacher can make 11 full boxes.

Question 6 - Factors and multiples

Which number is a factor of 36?

  1. 5
  2. 7
  3. 9
  4. 10
Answer: 9

A factor divides a number evenly. Since 36 / 9 = 4 with no remainder, 9 is a factor of 36.

Question 7 - Equivalent fractions

Which fraction is equivalent to 3/4?

  1. 4/5
  2. 6/8
  3. 8/12
  4. 9/16
Answer: 6/8

Multiply the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 2. 3 x 2 = 6 and 4 x 2 = 8, so 3/4 = 6/8.

Question 8 - Adding fractions with like denominators

What is 2/9 + 5/9?

  1. 7/18
  2. 7/9
  3. 10/9
  4. 3/9
Answer: 7/9

The denominators are the same, so add the numerators and keep the denominator. 2/9 + 5/9 = 7/9.

Question 9 - Decimals and fractions

Which decimal is equal to 47/100?

  1. 0.047
  2. 0.47
  3. 4.7
  4. 47.0
Answer: 0.47

Forty-seven hundredths is written as 0.47 because the 4 is in the tenths place and the 7 is in the hundredths place.

Question 10 - Measurement conversion

How many inches are in 5 feet?

  1. 17 inches
  2. 50 inches
  3. 60 inches
  4. 72 inches
Answer: 60 inches

There are 12 inches in 1 foot. Multiply 5 x 12 = 60, so 5 feet equals 60 inches.

Question 11 - Area and perimeter

A rectangle is 8 units long and 3 units wide. What is its perimeter?

  1. 11 units
  2. 22 units
  3. 24 square units
  4. 64 units
Answer: 22 units

Perimeter is the distance around the rectangle. Add all sides: 8 + 3 + 8 + 3 = 22 units.

Question 12 - Angle measure

An angle measures 125 degrees. What type of angle is it?

  1. Acute angle
  2. Right angle
  3. Obtuse angle
  4. Straight angle
Answer: Obtuse angle

An obtuse angle measures more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Since 125 degrees is between 90 and 180, it is obtuse.

What Skills These Questions Cover

Question RangeMain SkillWhy It Matters
Questions 1-3Place value, rounding, and comparisonStudents need strong number sense before solving larger problems.
Questions 4-6Multiplication, division, factors, and multiplesThese skills support many Grade 4 word problems.
Questions 7-9Fractions and decimalsStudents need models, equivalence, and careful place-value thinking.

How to Review Missed Math Questions

The fastest way to improve is to review mistakes with purpose. For each missed question, write the skill name, redo the problem, and explain the correct strategy in one sentence.

  • If the mistake was computation, check place value and operation steps.
  • If the mistake was a fraction, draw a model or rewrite equivalent fractions.
  • If the mistake was a word problem, identify the question, units, and operation.
  • If the mistake was geometry or measurement, label units before calculating.
