Six 4th grade story problems with multi-digit numbers: adding and subtracting in the thousands, multiplying a two-digit number by a one-digit or two-digit number, dividing with one-digit divisors, fractions of a set, recipe problems that multiply a fraction by a whole number, and multi-step problems.

The 4th grade standards ask children to solve multistep word problems with whole numbers using all four operations, and to assess whether answers are reasonable with estimation. Have your child round the numbers to estimate before solving. For skill practice without the reading, see 4th grade multiplication and 4th grade division.

Tips for using it

  • Round to estimate before solving; compare the estimate with the answer.
  • Circle the numbers and underline the question before starting.
