Our math topics for 4th grade learners are designed to follow closely the Common Core standards for math for 4th grade pupils.
Here's an overview of the division topics covered in the 4th grade curriculum.
Division as Equal Sharing: Students build on their understanding of division as equal sharing. They learn to divide a quantity into equal groups. For example, if there are 12 apples to be shared equally among 3 people, they learn to divide 12 by 3 to find that each person gets 4 apples.
Division Facts: Students continue to develop their fluency with division facts, such as dividing by 2, 5, and 10. They reinforce their understanding of the relationship between multiplication and division, using known multiplication facts to solve division problems. For example, if they know that 5 × 6 = 30, they can use this fact to find that 30 ÷ 5 = 6 or 30 ÷ 6 = 5.
Division with Remainders: Students learn about division with remainders. They understand that sometimes the number being divided is not exactly divisible by the divisor, resulting in a remainder. For example, when dividing 17 by 4, they find that 4 can go into 17 four times with a remainder of 1 (17 ÷ 4 = 4 R 1).
Mental Division Strategies: Students develop mental strategies to solve division problems efficiently. These strategies include dividing by multiples of 10, dividing by powers of 10, and using known division facts to derive related division problems. For example, if they know that 8 ÷ 2 = 4, they can solve 80 ÷ 2 by dividing the tens digit, resulting in 40.
Division with Decimals: Towards the end of 4th grade, students may be introduced to dividing decimal numbers. They learn to interpret decimal division problems and understand the concept of placing the decimal point correctly in the quotient. For example, when dividing 3.6 by 0.2, they recognize that both numbers need to be multiplied by 10 to make the divisor a whole number, resulting in 36 ÷ 2 = 18.
Throughout 4th grade, students practice solving division problems using various strategies, including mental methods, long division, and short division. They also solve real-life word problems that involve division, helping them understand the practical application of division in everyday situations.
It's important to note that specific curriculum standards may vary depending on the country and educational system, but the topics mentioned above provide a general overview of division concepts typically covered in 4th grade.

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.
