Montana MAST Grade 4 Math Free Worksheets: Free Printable PDF Worksheets with Full Solutions

There is a moment in fourth grade when a child looks at a math problem and realizes it will not be finished in a single line. That moment is the whole year in miniature. Numbers now stretch into the hundred-thousands and have to be read, rounded, and compared. Multiplication becomes a multi-step procedure. Division produces remainders that mean something and have to be interpreted. Word problems ask for a plan before they ask for an answer. Math has become something a student builds, not just something they recall.

Fractions are a big part of that shift. They move from a slice of something into genuine numbers, ones a child has to find equivalents for, compare, and add and subtract when the denominators agree. Mixed numbers appear, and so does multiplying a fraction by a whole number. Decimals to the hundredths arrive, and a student starts to see how a decimal and a fraction can describe the exact same amount. Angles, area and perimeter, and line plots round out the year, along with multi-step word problems that reward a child who plans before reaching for the numbers. It is a full, foundational year, and it rewards patience.

These worksheets were designed for patient, one-skill-at-a-time work. Whether your fourth grader is in Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, or Bozeman, each PDF takes a single skill and gives it the space to settle in.

What’s on this page

There are 43 single-skill PDFs on this page, each aligned to the Montana Mathematics Standards at Grade 4. Every file holds to exactly one skill, so a student practicing division with remainders is not also being quizzed on angle types, and a student on equivalent fractions is not pulled sideways into decimal place value.

Each PDF begins with a one-page Quick Review that lays out the skill in plain words and works through an example start to finish. Then come 20 practice problems that rise gently from easy to harder, followed by 4 word problems that set the skill in a real context. The closing page is a student-facing answer key, written so a fourth grader can check their own work and trace exactly where an answer went off course.

How to use these worksheets at home

Short and steady is the rule. Fifteen minutes is the right length for a nine- or ten-year-old, and a calm quarter hour beats a long, frustrated stretch every single time. Choose one PDF, sit nearby, and let your child work while you stay available for the stuck moments.

It helps a great deal to run related skills back to back, so each one reinforces the last. Try “Multiplying by One-Digit Numbers” and then “Multiplying by Two-Digit Numbers”, the second is a clear extension of the first. The same works for “Equivalent Fractions” before “Comparing Fractions,” or “Area of Rectangles” right before “Perimeter of Rectangles.” When skills come in pairs, the link between them teaches almost on its own.

Keep the answer key set aside until the work is finished, then walk through it together. In a house in Missoula or a classroom in Bozeman, that review is where the learning takes hold, not in a flawless first attempt, but in seeing clearly why a method gives the right result. Have your child talk one problem through out loud; explaining a step is how it becomes theirs.

There is no need to rush the stack. Some weeks one PDF is the whole of what you will get to, and that is genuinely fine. At nine and ten, steady wins. A child who reaches spring with a solid grip on place value, multi-digit multiplication, and the foundations of fractions is far better set up than one who hurried through every page without the ideas settling in.

A note about MAST at Grade 4

Montana fourth graders take the MAST, the Montana Aligned to Standards Through-year assessment, in Mathematics. Rather than a single spring sitting, MAST is given across three through-year windows in fall, winter, and spring, so it checks in on student progress more than once. It is built on the Montana Mathematics Standards, which are aligned to the Common Core, meaning the skills on these worksheets and the skills on the assessment come from the same place.

At Grade 4, MAST asks students to round and compare large numbers, carry out multi-digit multiplication and division, reason about factors and multiples, compare and combine fractions, work with decimals to the hundredths, and solve multi-step word problems that require choosing an operation. Because each PDF here targets one standard, and because MAST checks in across the year, the list works beautifully as a running checklist, after each window, you can see exactly which skills need another pass and work just those.

Fourth-grade math grows fast, but it grows in order, each skill leaning on the one before it. Bookmark this page, print a single PDF tonight, and let your child start somewhere small. Montana kids handle big new things well when the next step is clear, and a worksheet on the kitchen table is about as clear as a next step gets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is expanded form in 4th grade math?

Expanded form writes a number as the sum of each digit’s value. For example, 47,385 in expanded form is 40,000 + 7,000 + 300 + 80 + 5. Montana fourth graders use it to read, compare, and round numbers up to one million, and it helps with multiplication too: 6 × 243 is 6 × 200 + 6 × 40 + 6 × 3, which is 1,200 + 240 + 18 = 1,458.

What are factors in 4th grade math?

A factor is a number that divides evenly into another number with no remainder. To list the factors of 18, look for pairs that multiply to 18: 1 × 18, 2 × 9, and 3 × 6. So the factors are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18. Montana fourth graders practice finding factor pairs for numbers from 1 to 100, which later makes simplifying fractions much easier.

How do you do math for 4th grade?

Fourth grade math goes best when a child slows down and follows the steps. For a word problem, read it twice, underline what is being asked, pick the operation, solve, then check that the answer makes sense. For example, if 156 apples are packed 6 to a bag, 156 ÷ 6 = 26 bags. Montana students who use this routine on a few problems a day usually see steady progress.

What are the Montana 4th grade math standards?

Montana’s grade 4 math expectations come from the Montana Content Standards for Mathematics, the standards MAST is built on. They cover operations and algebraic thinking, place value and multi-digit arithmetic, fractions and decimals, measurement and data, and geometry. Montana’s standards also ask teachers to connect math to the cultures of the state’s American Indian tribes. The Montana Office of Public Instruction (OPI) posts the full document.

Are there free 4th grade math worksheets for Montana students?

Yes. The Montana Grade 4 collection on Effortless Math offers free printable PDFs with full step-by-step solutions, one skill per page, from rounding and long division to angles and line plots. Because MAST is a through-year assessment given at several points in the school year, steady practice works better than saving it for the end. A page or two a week on the current class unit is plenty.
