Our math topics for 4th grade learners are designed to follow closely the Common Core standards for math for 4th grade pupils.
Here is an overview of some of the key areas covered in the addition syllabus for 4th grade:
Review of basic addition: Students review and reinforce their understanding of basic addition facts, including single-digit addition problems (e.g., 5 + 3 = 8).
Multi-digit addition: Students are introduced to addition problems with two or more digits. They learn the concept of carrying or regrouping when the sum of digits in a column exceeds 9. For example, in the problem 75 + 48, they learn to carry the 1 from the tens place to the hundreds place.
Mental math strategies: Children develop mental math strategies to perform addition more efficiently. These strategies include using place value concepts (e.g., adding tens or hundreds first), breaking down numbers into easier parts, or using known facts to solve related problems.
Estimation: Students learn to estimate the answer to addition problems. They develop an understanding of how to round numbers and make quick approximations to assess whether the answer they obtain is reasonable.
Problem-solving: The syllabus incorporates problem-solving activities to apply addition skills to real-world situations. Students practice identifying relevant information, choosing appropriate addition strategies, and solving word problems involving addition.
Addition with decimals and fractions: Students begin to explore addition with decimals and addition with fractions. They learn to align decimal points and add place by place. With fractions, they understand the need to find a common denominator before performing the addition operation.
Timed drills and fact fluency: As with subtraction for 4th grade, students engage in timed drills or activities to improve their addition fact fluency. This helps develop rapid recall of addition facts, making mental calculations easier and more efficient.
Throughout the syllabus, hands-on activities, visual representations (such as number lines or base-10 blocks), and interactive exercises may be used to support conceptual understanding and reinforce computational skills. Technology-based tools and educational games can also provide supplementary practice and reinforcement of addition concepts.

A topic is selected at the beginning of a session at Free Math Games and will be remembered when you move between games or activities. The math for the topic is carefully constructed to match the elementary math level commonly taught in US schools. This means that you as an elementary pupil should see similar math problems to those you are seeing at school (if you are at school) for any particular subject. Please let us know if that is not the case.
See the help box below for instructions on choosing a topic here at Free Math Games.
UXO * Duck shoot * The frog flies * Pong * Cat and mouse * The beetle and the bee
Rock fall * Four in a row * Sow grow * Choose or lose * Mix and match
Click on the "1. Start" button in the top navigation bar - that brings you to this elementary level topic selection page. On the topic selection page you will see that the topics are divided up:
Since you are currently within the elementary section of Free Math Games you will see the elementary topics. The elementary grades will have loaded. Choose your grade. The broad categories available will load. Click on a category to see the available sub-categories and topics.
For example, if you choose fifth grade, then the category: "Fractions" you will be offered a choice of fraction sub-categories and topics suitable for Grade 5. Click on each sub-category to view the available topics.
When you click on the name of a topic, the topic will load into the lesson page (once a topic has loaded it will be available for all activities and will not have to be downloaded again) and the lesson start page will be displayed. You can choose to do the lesson or jump immediately to the games using that topic.
