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 some of the key multiplication categories and topics covered in the 4th grade math syllabus.
Multiplication Facts: Students consolidate their knowledge of multiplication facts and develop fluency in multiplication tables. They focus on memorizing and recalling multiplication facts up to 12 × 12. By the end of 4th grade, students are expected to have a strong foundation in multiplication facts. They are able to recognise and use square and cube numbers.
Mental math strategies: Students develop mental strategies to solve multiplication problems efficiently. These strategies include using known facts to derive related facts, breaking down larger numbers into more manageable parts, and using properties of multiplication, such as the commutative and distributive properties. Mental multiplication strategies help students solve problems mentally without relying on written methods.
Multiplying Larger Numbers: Students extend their multiplication skills to multiply larger numbers using formal written methods. They learn and practice the standard algorithm for multiplication, which involves multiplying each digit of one number by each digit of the other number and correctly placing the resulting products in the appropriate positions. For example, when multiplying 234 by 16, they multiply 4 by 6, 3 by 6, 2 by 6, 4 by 10, 3 by 10, and 2 by 10, and then add up the products to get the final answer.
Multiplication as Scaling: Students explore the concept of multiplication as scaling. They understand that multiplication can be used to scale up or scale down quantities. For example, if a recipe requires scaling up by a factor of 3, they know that they need to multiply the original quantities by 3 to make a larger batch.
Throughout 4th grade, students practice solving multiplication problems using various strategies, including mental methods and the standard algorithm. They also solve real-life word problems that involve multiplication, helping them understand the practical application of multiplication in everyday situations.

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.
