30 year 4 math questions
In year 4, students are introduced to important maths concepts that become the building blocks for future mathematical learning. Let’s practise those concepts with this list of year 4 maths questions.
30 year 4 maths questions
- Key takeaways
- In Year 4 maths, students develop a deeper understanding of multiplication and division, fractions, and measurements.
- Year 4 word problems require more advanced comprehension skills.
- Place Value: Understanding place value helps us read and write numbers correctly and compare their values.
- Look for opportunities for your child to practise their maths at home–worksheets, maths games , or a maths practice app will help strengthen new mathematical knowledge. While consistency is key, maths practice for Year 4 should be engaging and fun.

- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Multi-step word problems
Answer sheet
In addition to reviewing and strengthening the skills learned in previous years, year 4 maths students learn multiplication and division, explore fractions, calculate measurements, and more.
Also, word problems at this level are often multi-step, requiring students to understand what operations to perform and how to perform them correctly.
This list of year 4 maths questions is intended to reinforce concepts students have already been taught. The list is divided into sections: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, measurement, and multi-step problems.
These sections allow students to specifically focus their practice, but feel free to skip around and choose the maths practice problems that best suit your child’s needs.
