Author Kate Snow’s placement help for Fourth Grade Math with Confidence:
Children are ready to start Fourth Grade Math with Confidence if they can:
- Read, write, compare, and understand place value in numbers to 10,000
- Use the traditional process to add and subtract 4-digit numbers written vertically. (You might know these problems as “stack math” or “borrowing and carrying.”)
- Name answers to the multiplication and division facts (up to 10×10 and 100÷10). Children should be able to recall the answers to most within 3 seconds or so. It’s okay if they’re still developing fluency with the tricky 7s, 8s, and 9s.
- Use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve word problems, including two-step word problems.
- Find the area and perimeter of rectangles.
- Read, write, and compare simple fractions.
(Note that this is the bare minimum list of skills your child should know before starting Fourth Grade Math with Confidence. It is not a full list of everything covered in Third Grade Math with Confidence.)
If your child is not fluent with the multiplication and division facts but knows the rest of the skills listed above, he is probably ready to begin Fourth Grade Math with Confidence. Make sure to add 5 minutes of daily multiplication fact or division fact practice to each lesson until your child becomes more fluent with the facts.
