Grade 4 is a major transition year in math. Washington students preparing for the Smarter Balanced Assessment need fluency with multi-digit multiplication, long division, fraction equivalence and comparison, angle measurement, area and perimeter, and multi-step word problems.
The worksheet below gives Washington Grade 4 students a printable-style mixed review with full answer explanations.

Grade 4 SBA Math Worksheet
Part A: Multiplication and Division
1. Find 36 x 24.
2. A school buys 1,344 pencils. The pencils are shared equally among 8 classrooms. How many pencils does each classroom get?
3. A theater has 28 rows with 35 seats in each row. How many seats are in the theater?
Part B: Fractions
4. Write two fractions equivalent to 3/4.
5. Compare using <, >, or =: 5/8 ___ 3/4
6. Find 2/9 + 5/9.
7. Convert 3 1/5 to an improper fraction.
Part C: Measurement and Geometry
8. An angle measures 125 degrees. Is it acute, right, obtuse, or straight?
9. Two angles form a straight line. One angle is 73 degrees. What is the other angle?
10. Convert 4 yards to feet.
11. A rectangle is 14 feet long and 6 feet wide. Find the area and perimeter.
12. Name one property shared by all rectangles.
Part D: Multi-Step Word Problems
13. A bookstore packs 18 boxes with 24 books in each box. Then it sells 95 books. How many books remain?
14. A class collected data about favorite fruits: apples 12, bananas 9, oranges 15, grapes 6. How many students chose apples or oranges?
15. A ribbon is 5 feet long. Mia uses 2 feet 8 inches. How many inches of ribbon are left?
Answer Key with Explanations
1. 36 x 24 = 36 x 20 + 36 x 4 = 720 + 144 = 864.
2. 1,344 / 8 = 168 pencils per classroom.
3. 28 x 35 = 28 x 30 + 28 x 5 = 840 + 140 = 980 seats.
4. Possible answers include 6/8 and 9/12. Multiply numerator and denominator by the same number.
5. 3/4 = 6/8, so 5/8 < 3/4.
6. 2/9 + 5/9 = 7/9.
7. 3 1/5 = (3 x 5 + 1) / 5 = 16/5.
8. 125 degrees is obtuse.
9. A straight line is 180 degrees. 180 – 73 = 107 degrees.
10. 1 yard = 3 feet, so 4 yards = 12 feet.
11. Area = 14 x 6 = 84 square feet. Perimeter = 14 + 6 + 14 + 6 = 40 feet.
12. All rectangles have four right angles. They also have opposite sides parallel and equal in length.
13. 18 x 24 = 432 books. 432 – 95 = 337 books remain.
14. Apples or oranges: 12 + 15 = 27 students.
15. 5 feet = 60 inches. 2 feet 8 inches = 32 inches. 60 – 32 = 28 inches left.
Second-Day Spiral Review
Use this shorter set the next day. The goal is not to repeat the same worksheet; it is to see whether the student can recognize the skill when the wording changes.
16. Find 407 x 6.
17. A baker has 156 cupcakes and packs 12 cupcakes in each box. How many full boxes can the baker make?
18. Compare using <, >, or =: 7/10 ___ 2/5
19. A right angle is split into two smaller angles. One angle is 38 degrees. What is the other angle?
20. A rectangle has area 72 square inches and one side length 8 inches. What is the missing side length?
16. 407 x 6 = 2,442.
17. 156 / 12 = 13 full boxes.
18. 2/5 = 4/10, so 7/10 > 2/5.
19. A right angle is 90 degrees. 90 – 38 = 52 degrees.
20. 72 / 8 = 9 inches.
Quick Diagnostic Checks
After scoring the worksheet, sort errors into these four buckets. This is more useful than only writing a percent correct.
- Computation errors: multiplication facts, regrouping, or division steps were the main issue.
- Concept errors: the student chose the wrong operation or formula.
- Fraction errors: equivalent fractions, comparison, or mixed numbers need review.
- Reading errors: the student understood the math but missed a condition in the wording.
If most missed problems are computation errors, use shorter fact and algorithm practice for a few days. If most are concept errors, slow down and ask the student to draw a model before solving. If reading errors dominate, require an equation or labeled diagram before any arithmetic.
Common Grade 4 Mistakes
Multiplication Without Estimation
Before multiplying 36 x 24, estimate 40 x 20 = 800. If the final answer is 86 or 8,640, the estimate shows something went wrong.
Comparing Fractions by Numerator Only
Students may think 5/8 is greater than 3/4 because 5 is greater than 3. Use equivalent fractions: 3/4 = 6/8, so 5/8 is smaller.
Mixing Area and Perimeter
Area measures the inside of a shape in square units. Perimeter measures distance around the shape in linear units. Write the formula first to avoid switching them.
How to Use This Worksheet Over One Week
Give the worksheet in two sittings if the student gets tired. After checking answers, choose two missed problems and ask the student to rework them with one sentence explaining the error. That small habit makes worksheet practice much more useful.
- Monday: Part A only, then one multiplication estimate for every exact answer.
- Tuesday: Part B with fraction strips or number lines available during correction.
- Wednesday: Part C with labeled sketches for every geometry problem.
- Thursday: Part D as a timed mixed set, followed by written corrections.
- Friday: Second-Day Spiral Review, then make a three-problem mini quiz from missed skills.
ViewMath Washington Grade 4 Resources
ViewMath Washington Grade 4 books provide state-aligned practice with step-by-step answer keys, topic review, quizzes, and full practice tests. A workbook is usually the best first choice for worksheet-style practice. A study guide is better when the student needs lessons and examples before independent work. Practice tests are most useful after the student can handle mixed review without topic labels.
