California Grade 4: match practice to what your class is learning

Use California curriculum source to see what your class is working on right now, then pick the matching standard below. Read it together, ask your child to explain it in their own words, and open the lesson or worksheet for that skill in the topic list. The codes are planning references; the teacher's pacing guide decides the order.

4.OA.1
Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison,
4.NBT.1
Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right
4.NF.1
Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n×a)/(n×b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions
4.MD.1
Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two-column table
4.G.1
Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures

Choose practice from the explanation

Ask the student to explain one of the ideas above with a drawing, model, table, or short calculation. If the explanation is unclear, open the related lesson before assigning a mixed test. If the idea is understood but the calculation is unreliable, choose a focused worksheet and review the strategy afterward.

Keep the classroom target, the resource used, and the next step together in a study note. A topic quiz can guide review; its score is not an official state performance level. Revisit the skill in a new context after a few days.

Can I use a calculator?

A calculator is not a standard tool on Smarter Balanced mathematics in grades 3–5. Individual accommodations are handled by the school. Check the official accessibility guidance before the assessment.

How long is each practice test?

Read the timer and question count shown in the practice activity you open. These are practice settings, not a statement of the official assessment’s duration or scoring.

The directory uses Common Core domain labels: 4.OA for operations, 4.NBT for base-ten numbers, 4.NF for fractions, 4.MD for measurement and data, and 4.G for geometry. These are broad groups, not a full standard-by-standard alignment. Use California’s mathematics resources and your classroom assignments to choose the next skill. Independent practice scores are not official CAASPP results.
