4th Grade Math Worksheets for Washington (SBAC): 43 Free Printable PDFs

By fourth grade, math has more moving parts than it used to. A second or third grader works mostly with numbers and operations they can hold in their head all at once. A fourth grader has to keep track of more: the place value of a digit in a six-figure number, the steps of a multi-digit division problem, what a remainder is telling them, how two fractions compare once they are rewritten with the same denominator. The math is not just harder. It asks the student to manage more at the same time.

You can see it in the small moments. A child has to know that the 6 in 60,000 is worth ten times the 6 in 6,000 before comparing big numbers means anything. They carry that place-value sense through a four-digit-by-one-digit multiplication without losing a column, then divide and decide what the leftover means, three friends still without a seat, or three dollars still in hand. Fractions become real numbers in the same stretch: 3/4 and 6/8 naming one amount, a mixed number holding a whole part and a fraction part together, a decimal to the hundredths just another way to write the same value. None of it is beyond a fourth grader. There is simply a lot to hold at once.

That is exactly why the year is foundational. Fourth graders take on multi-digit multiplication and division with remainders, factors and multiples, multiplicative comparison, multi-step word problems, and number patterns. They learn fractions as real quantities, equivalence, comparing, adding and subtracting with like denominators, mixed numbers, and fraction times a whole number. They meet decimals to the hundredths, measure angles, classify shapes, tell area from perimeter, and convert units. A student who gets steady with all of that walks into fifth grade ready to keep climbing.

These worksheets were built for that climb. Whether your fourth grader is in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma, or Vancouver, they offer one clear skill at a time, with enough practice for it to take hold.

What’s on this page

Here you will find 43 single-skill PDFs, each aligned to the Washington Mathematics Standards at Grade 4. Every file is narrow on purpose, one skill, fully practiced, so a student working on mixed numbers is not also being asked about line plots, and a student learning to measure angles is not sidetracked into long division.

Each PDF begins with a one-page Quick Review: the skill explained in plain words, with one example worked all the way through. After that come 20 practice problems ordered from easy to hard, then 4 word problems that drop the skill into a real-world setting. The closing page is a student-facing answer key, short, friendly explanations a fourth grader can read on their own and genuinely learn from.

How to use these worksheets at home

Small and steady is the whole strategy. A fourth grader does best with one PDF and about fifteen minutes, enough to make real progress, short enough that they will actually sit down to it. Two predictable afternoons a week, and before long the routine carries itself.

Teach skills in pairs that lean on each other. Run “Multiplying by One-Digit Numbers” and then “Multiplying by Two-Digit Numbers,” with a place value page first if keeping the columns straight is the sticking point. Do “Equivalent Fractions” before “Comparing Fractions,” so the comparing rests on ground the child already knows, once 2/3 can be rewritten as 8/12, deciding whether it beats 7/12 takes no guessing. Carry that into adding fractions with like denominators and then mixed numbers, since a mixed number is just a whole number with a fraction riding along. Put multi-digit division beside a page on interpreting remainders, so the leftover gets treated as part of the answer. Pair “Area of Rectangles” with “Perimeter of Rectangles,” one question about filling the inside and one about measuring the edge. When the second worksheet grows out of the first, every new sitting starts from somewhere familiar.

Once a few of those arithmetic pairs are solid, fold in the geometry and measurement pages, measuring angles, classifying triangles and quadrilaterals, reading decimals to the hundredths. They use a different part of a child’s attention, and that change of pace keeps homework from going stale. It also helps to circle back: every couple of weeks, have your child redo a few problems from a finished worksheet, so a skill that has slipped gets caught early.

And save the answer key for the end of the work. Let your child finish the page, then check their own answers and read the explanations for anything they missed. Through a long Washington winter of homework, that self-check habit, spotting the slip, understanding the fix, is the part that turns a worksheet into actual learning.

A note about SBAC at Grade 4

Washington fourth graders take the Smarter Balanced (SBAC) Mathematics assessment in the spring. It is built on the Washington Mathematics Standards, so the skills these worksheets practice and the skills the test measures grow from the same root.

The Grade 4 SBAC is not a memory quiz. It asks students to reason, to solve multi-step word problems, to explain their thinking, to justify why two fractions are equivalent, to interpret what a remainder means, to compare decimals to the hundredths, and to work through tasks that take more than one move to finish. It pairs straightforward questions with deeper ones that ask a student to use a skill in a place they have not seen it before. Because each PDF here targets one standard, the spring window becomes a checklist you can actually use: see what is solid, see what is shaky, and put practice time only where it counts.

A short closing

Fourth-grade math asks a child to manage more at once, and they get there one skill, one short sitting at a time. The whole load does not have to be carried in a week. Bookmark this page, print a single PDF tonight, and let your fourth grader start somewhere small. Washington kids do hard things well when the path is clear, and a worksheet on the table is a clear path forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Washington state 4th grade math standards?

Washington uses the Washington State K-12 Learning Standards for Mathematics, which are based on the Common Core. At grade 4 they center on multi-digit multiplication and division, fraction equivalence and operations, and classifying shapes by lines and angles. The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) posts the full standards, so you can see exactly what your fourth grader is expected to learn.

What is the 4th grade math curriculum in Washington state?

In Washington, school districts choose their own math curriculum, but every program is expected to teach the state’s grade 4 learning standards. So whatever textbook your child uses, the year covers place value to one million, multi-digit multiplication, long division with remainders, fractions and decimals to hundredths, measurement conversions and angles. Ask your child’s teacher which unit comes next and print matching worksheets ahead of time.

What is on the 4th grade math test in Washington?

Washington fourth graders take the Smarter Balanced (SBAC) math test in the spring. It includes a computer-adaptive section and a performance task, where students solve a longer real-world problem and explain their reasoning. Content follows the grade 4 standards: operations, base-ten arithmetic, fractions, measurement and geometry. OSPI’s assessment pages list current testing windows and link to official practice tests.

Where can I find 4th grade math worksheets?

The 43 Washington Grade 4 PDFs here are free to print and each has a step-by-step answer key. Every page works on a single skill, which makes it easy to target a weak spot. If your child keeps mixing up the value of digits, start with place value pages, where they learn that the 6 in 60,000 is worth ten times the 6 in 6,000.

What kind of math problems do 4th graders solve?

Fourth graders work on problems like 3,208 × 4 = 12,832 and comparing 0.4 with 0.38 (0.4 is larger, since it equals 0.40). Word problems often need two steps. For example: a Puget Sound ferry carries 144 cars on each of 6 trips in the morning and 95 cars on its last trip. How many cars in all? 144 × 6 = 864, and 864 + 95 = 959.
