Grade 4 Math Worksheets
Fourth grade is the long multiplication year. Students extend from single-digit facts to 2-digit × 2-digit, begin long division, and encounter fractions as numbers. ZestMath makes each of these jumps trackable — see exactly where students are losing points, not just their final score.

Grade 4 math skills covered
2-digit × 2-digit
E.g. 24 × 38 — the core Grade 4 multiplication challenge.
3-digit × 2-digit
E.g. 142 × 38 — extends the algorithm to larger numbers.
Long division basics
2-digit and 3-digit ÷ 1-digit, whole-number answers.
3-digit × 1-digit
Bridge from Grade 3 to full 2×2 multiplication.
3-digit addition

3-digit subtraction
Multi-digit borrowing with 3-digit numbers.
How the "Problem Type" control works for Grade 4
The generator above is pre-set to 2-digit × 2-digit — the core Grade 4 multiplication standard. You can switch to 2-digit × 1-digit for a warm-up review, or step up to 3-digit × 2-digit for extension activities. The PDF automatically draws the right number of working lines for each complexity level.
What math do Grade 4 students learn?
Grade 4 (age 9–10) is when the standard multiplication algorithm becomes essential. Students must apply what they memorised in Grade 3 to systematically solve 2-digit × 2-digit and eventually 3-digit × 2-digit problems. Key milestones include:
- Multiplying 2-digit numbers using the standard algorithm (or area model)
- Understanding and applying place value in multi-digit multiplication
- Long division up to 3-digit ÷ 1-digit with whole-number answers
- Identifying and generating equivalent fractions
- Adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators
- Solving multi-step word problems using all four operations
The most common Grade 4 multiplication mistake
When students learn 2-digit × 2-digit multiplication, the most common error is forgetting to shift the second partial product one place to the left. For example, computing 24 × 38 and adding 192 + 720 correctly, but writing 192 + 72 instead.
ZestMath detects this pattern automatically. If a student's answers are consistently close to correct but off by a factor of 10, the mistake report flags a "place value shift error" and links to a dedicated drill.
Bridging Grade 3 and Grade 4 multiplication
Students who struggled with ×7, ×8, or ×9 facts in Grade 3 will find 2-digit × 2-digit especially difficult, because those same facts appear frequently in the partial products. Spending a week reviewing single-digit facts before introducing the 2×2 algorithm pays dividends throughout Grade 4.
