💭 Think about this

Can your child explain the difference between perimeter and area in their own words, not just apply a formula correctly?

Questions below are grouped by topic, pick the Math topics you want to practice, or swap in your own worksheet, notebook, or textbook questions any time.

Building with Bricks & Shapes

Covers 3D shapes, brick/tiling patterns, basic perimeter, and spatial visualization.

📋 Quick reference3D Shapes Quick Reference▶

A face is a flat surface, an edge is where two surfaces meet, and a corner is a pointed meeting place.
Compare a curved surface with a flat one by placing a finger on each; name the shape only after noticing its surfaces.
For a brick or tile pattern, mark where one repeat ends and the next begins before continuing it, so the spacing stays even.
Perimeter of a flat shape is the total length all the way around its outside edges. Add every side's length together.

Let Them Build the Shape, Not Just Name It

For Parents

Use actual building blocks, dice, or cardboard boxes at home and ask your child to count faces, edges, and corners on each one before naming the shape.
Look at a brick wall or tiled floor together and ask your child to describe the repeating pattern before you ask what comes next in it.

For Teachers

Students often confuse a 3D shape's face count with its edges or corners because all three are introduced together. Have them physically trace one face, then one edge, then one corner on a real object, one property at a time, rather than reciting all three from a chart.

1. How many faces does a cuboid (brick shape) have?
▶Reveal answer
6
A cuboid, like a standard brick, has 6 flat rectangular faces: top, bottom, and four sides.
2. A wall pattern repeats as: 1 brick, 2 bricks, 1 brick, 2 bricks. How many bricks are in the next set after the pattern's third group?
▶Reveal answer
2 bricks
The pattern alternates between groups of 1 and 2 bricks. After 1, 2, 1, the next group repeats the cycle with 2 bricks.
3. Which 3D shape has no flat faces at all, only one curved surface: cube, cylinder, or sphere?
▶Reveal answer
Sphere
A cube has 6 flat faces, and a cylinder has 2 flat circular faces plus a curved side, but a sphere is entirely curved with no flat faces at all.

Long and Short: Length & Distance

Covers converting between km, m, and cm, measuring distances, and estimation.

📋 Quick referenceLength Conversion Quick Rules▶

A kilometre is 1000 times bigger than a metre, and a metre is 100 times bigger than a centimetre.
For estimation questions, compare to a known object (a door, a classroom) rather than guessing a raw number.

Estimate First, Measure Second

For Parents

Before measuring something at home with a ruler or tape, ask your child to guess the length first. Comparing the guess to the real measurement builds a genuine feel for units, not just conversion rules.
Walk a known distance together, like to a neighbour's house or the corner shop, and talk about it in metres, then ask how many of those trips would make up a kilometre.

For Teachers

Some children measure objects starting from the 1 cm mark on a ruler instead of the 0 mark, which quietly throws off every measurement by exactly 1 cm. Have them point to the ruler's zero mark before measuring anything, and check it against a known-length object to catch this habit early.

1. Convert 5 kilometres into metres.
▶Reveal answer
5000 m
1 kilometre equals 1000 metres, so 5 kilometres = 5 x 1000 = 5000 metres.
2. A pencil is 14 cm long and a notebook is 25 cm long. What is their combined length in centimetres?
▶Reveal answer
39 cm
Add the two lengths directly, since both are already in centimetres: 14 + 25 = 39 cm.
3. Which is a more reasonable height for a classroom door: 2 metres or 20 metres?
▶Reveal answer
2 metres
A door tall enough for a person to walk through comfortably is close to 2 metres. 20 metres would be as tall as a 6-storey building, far too tall for a classroom door.

A Trip to Bhopal: Numbers up to 10,000

Covers 4-digit place value, estimation by rounding, and multi-step word problems.

📋 Quick reference4-Digit Place Value Quick Rules▶

A 4-digit number's places, left to right, are Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, and Ones.
To round to the nearest hundred, look at the tens digit: 5 or more rounds up, below 5 rounds down.
For a multi-step word problem, write down what each step finds before moving to the next, rather than trying to solve it all in your head at once.

Round Before You Add, Then Check

For Parents

Play a quick 'guess the total' game with real numbers, like two shopping bills, by rounding each one to the nearest hundred first, then compare the rounded guess to the exact total once it's calculated.
When reading a 4-digit number out loud together, always name the full value of each digit ('the 4 is worth 400') rather than just its digit, which is what expanded form and place value both depend on.

For Teachers

Multi-step word problems often fail not because of the arithmetic but because a student picks the wrong first step. Have students underline the two numbers needed and write the operation in words ('I need the total, so I add') before calculating anything.

1. Round 3,758 to the nearest hundred.
▶Reveal answer
3800
3,758 sits between 3,700 and 3,800. Since the tens digit (5) is 5 or more, we round up to 3,800.

Tick-Tick-Tick: Time & Timetables

Covers 12-hour vs. 24-hour clocks, elapsed time, and calendar calculations.

📋 Quick reference12-Hour & 24-Hour Clock Quick Rules▶

To convert an afternoon/evening 12-hour time to 24-hour time, add 12 to the hour (6 PM = 18:00).
To find elapsed time, count forward to the next whole hour first, then add the remaining minutes.
A leap year has 366 days instead of 365, adding one extra day in February.

Convert Both Ways Until It's Automatic

For Parents

Check a real train, bus, or TV timetable together that uses the 24-hour clock, and practise converting a few times into the 12-hour format your child is more used to.
For elapsed-time questions, count forward on a real or paper clock face in convenient chunks, first to the next whole hour, then the remaining minutes, rather than subtracting the times directly.

For Teachers

The most common 24-hour clock mistake is forgetting to subtract 12 for afternoon/evening times, treating 15:00 as 3 AM instead of 3 PM. Drill the simple rule (subtract 12 whenever the hour is 13 or more) as its own short exercise, separate from elapsed-time problems.

1. Convert 3:00 PM into 24-hour clock time.
▶Reveal answer
15:00
For any afternoon or evening time, add 12 to the 12-hour clock hour: 3 PM becomes 3 + 12 = 15:00.
2. How many days are there in a leap year?
▶Reveal answer
366
A regular year has 365 days, but a leap year adds one extra day (29 February), making it 366 days.

The Way the World Looks: Views & Mapping

Covers top, front, and side views of objects, and reading simple maps and grids.

📋 Quick referenceViews & Mapping Quick Rules▶

Name a view from where your eyes are placed: above an object, in front of it, or beside it.
On a grid map, distances along grid lines add up separately for each direction (east/west and north/south).

Walk Around the Object Physically

For Parents

Place a real object, a cup, a box, a toy car, on a table and walk around it with your child, naming what you see from above, from the front, and from the side.
Draw a simple grid map of your street or garden together and mark familiar landmarks, then ask your child to describe a route between two of them using directions and distances.

For Teachers

Students frequently draw the front view and the top view as if they were the same picture, especially for objects that look symmetrical. Have them physically rotate a real object between views rather than trying to imagine both from a single static picture.

1. Your school is 3 blocks east and 2 blocks north of your house on a simple grid map. If you can only walk along the grid lines, how many blocks in total do you walk to reach school?
▶Reveal answer
5 blocks
Walking along grid lines, you cover the east distance and the north distance separately: 3 blocks east plus 2 blocks north = 3 + 2 = 5 blocks total, even though the straight-line distance would be shorter.
2. Which view of a closed shoebox would show its length and height, but not its width: front view or top view?
▶Reveal answer
Front view
Standing directly in front of the box and looking straight at it shows its length (side to side) and height (up and down), but not its width (front to back), which is exactly what a front view captures.

The Junk Seller: Money & Profit-Loss

Covers multiplying larger amounts, simple financial literacy, and unit price and profit/loss problems.

📋 Quick referenceProfit & Loss Quick Rules▶

Selling price higher than buying price = profit. Selling price lower = loss.
Profit or loss amount = the difference between selling price and buying price.
Unit price questions: multiply the cost of one item by the quantity needed.

Profit and Loss Are Just Subtraction with a Label

For Parents

During real shopping, ask your child to work out the change and say whether a discounted item represents a 'good deal' compared to its original price.
Play a simple buy-and-sell game with pretend money: give your child a 'buying price' and a 'selling price' for a toy, and ask them to say whether that trade made a profit or a loss before calculating the amount.

For Teachers

Children often calculate the difference correctly but cannot label the result. Have them circle the buying price and selling price, then explain whether the money coming in is greater or smaller before they subtract.

1. One pen costs 8 rupees. What is the cost of 12 such pens?
▶Reveal answer
96 rupees
Multiply the cost of one pen by the number of pens: 8 x 12 = 96 rupees.
2. A shopkeeper bought a toy for 90 rupees and sold it for 70 rupees. What was the loss?
▶Reveal answer
20 rupees
Since the selling price (70) is lower than the buying price (90), this is a loss. The loss amount is 90 - 70 = 20 rupees.

Jugs and Mugs: Volume & Capacity

Covers litres and millilitres, capacity word problems, and estimation.

📋 Quick referenceCapacity Conversion Quick Rules▶

A litre is 1000 times bigger than a millilitre, the same 1000-scale jump as kilograms to grams.
To find how many small containers fill a larger one, convert both to the same unit, then divide.
When estimating capacity, compare to a familiar container (a water bottle, a bucket) instead of guessing a raw number.

Pour Real Water Before Converting Numbers

For Parents

Use a measuring jug at home to pour and compare real quantities, a 500 mL bottle versus a 1 litre bottle, so the size difference is felt, not just calculated.
Ask your child to estimate how many small cups it would take to fill a large jug before actually pouring and counting, then compare the guess to the real result.

For Teachers

Children often assume a taller or wider container always holds more liquid, without accounting for its actual shape. Pour the same amount of water into two differently-shaped containers side by side so they see that height alone doesn't decide capacity.

1. How many 250 mL glasses are needed to fill a 2 L jug?
▶Reveal answer
8 glasses
Convert the jug to millilitres first: 2 L = 2000 mL. Then divide by the size of each glass: 2000 divided by 250 = 8 glasses.
2. A bucket holds 8 litres of water. If 3500 mL is poured out, how much water remains, in mL?
▶Reveal answer
4500 mL
8 litres equals 8000 mL. Subtract the amount poured out: 8000 - 3500 = 4500 mL remaining.

Carts and Wheels: Circles & Geometry

Covers the radius, diameter, and centre of a circle, and basic compass usage.

📋 Quick referenceCircle Quick Rules▶

Diameter = 2 x radius. Radius = diameter divided by 2.
A radius starts at the middle of a circle and reaches its edge; every radius in the same circle has the same length.
To draw a neat circle, keep one drawing leg still while the other leg turns around it at one fixed width.

Draw It With a Compass, Don't Just Label It

For Parents

Trace around a real circular object, a plate, a coin, a wheel, and mark its centre, then measure from the centre to the edge to show what a radius actually is.
If you have a compass at home, let your child draw a few circles of different sizes themselves. Feeling how the compass width controls the circle's size makes radius and diameter concrete.

For Teachers

Students often mix up radius and diameter, especially when asked to convert between them. Have them physically measure both on the same drawn circle side by side, so the 'diameter is always double the radius' relationship is seen, not just memorised as a formula.

1. What do we call the exact middle point of a circle?
▶Reveal answer
Centre
The centre is the fixed point in the middle of a circle, exactly the same distance from every point on the circle's edge.
2. Which tool is commonly used to draw an accurate circle?
▶Reveal answer
A compass
A compass has a fixed-width arm that keeps every point on the drawn curve exactly the same distance from the centre, producing an accurate circle.

Halves and Quarters: Fractions

Covers fractional parts of a whole, equivalent fractions, and simple visual fractions.

📋 Quick referenceFractions Quick Rules▶

A fraction's bottom number (denominator) shows how many equal parts the whole is split into; the top number (numerator) shows how many of those parts are counted.
A bigger denominator means smaller individual pieces, so 1/2 is larger than 1/4.
To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Fold Paper Before Writing Fractions

For Parents

Fold a piece of paper, a roti, or a fruit into equal parts together, and name the fraction each part represents before writing any numbers down.
Ask 'which is the bigger piece?' using two different fractions of the same whole, like half an apple versus a quarter of the same apple, so size comparisons feel real rather than abstract.

For Teachers

A common misconception is believing a fraction with a bigger denominator is always the bigger fraction (thinking 1/4 is more than 1/2 because 4 is more than 2). Always compare fractions using the same-sized visual whole, not just the numbers, until this resolves.

1. Which is larger: 1/2 or 1/4?
▶Reveal answer
1/2
A bigger denominator means the whole is cut into more, smaller pieces. Half of something is a bigger piece than a quarter of the same thing, so 1/2 is larger.
2. Write an equivalent fraction for 2/4 in its simplest form.
▶Reveal answer
1/2
Both the numerator and denominator of 2/4 can be divided by 2, giving 1/2, its simplest form.

Play with Patterns: Symmetry & Coding

Covers visual symmetry, number coding patterns, and triangular number patterns.

📋 Quick referenceSymmetry & Patterns Quick Rules▶

To check a line of symmetry, imagine actually folding the shape along that line. Trust the fold, not just how it looks by eye.
In a simple letter code (A=1, B=2...), count through the alphabet in order to find a letter's number.
For a number pattern, find the rule (what's added or how it changes) before guessing the next term.
For a growing number pattern, list the amount added between each pair of terms and check whether those additions are changing in a pattern too.

Fold for Symmetry, Count for Patterns

For Parents

Cut out a paper shape and physically fold it to check for lines of symmetry, rather than only guessing by eye, since some near-symmetric shapes are easy to get wrong just by looking.
For number-coding puzzles, make a simple A=1, B=2 code together and write a short message in it, turning an abstract pattern rule into something playful.

For Teachers

For triangular and other growing number patterns, students often guess the next number by eye instead of finding the actual rule (how much is being added each time, and whether that amount itself is changing). Have them write the difference between each pair of consecutive terms before guessing the next one.

1. How many lines of symmetry does an equilateral triangle have?
▶Reveal answer
3
An equilateral triangle has all three sides and angles equal, and it can be folded along 3 different lines, one from each corner to the midpoint of the opposite side, with both halves matching exactly.
2. In a simple number code where A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on, what number represents the letter E?
▶Reveal answer
5
Counting through the alphabet in order, A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, so E is represented by the number 5.
3. What is the next number in this triangular number pattern: 1, 3, 6, 10, ___?
▶Reveal answer
15
Each term adds one more than the previous addition: 1, then +2=3, then +3=6, then +4=10, then +5=15. This growing-gap pattern is what makes these triangular numbers.

Tables and Shares: Advanced Multiplication & Division

Covers 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication and division with remainders.

📋 Quick reference2-Digit Multiplication & Division Quick Rules▶

For 23 x 14, break 14 into 10 and 4: work out 23 x 10 and 23 x 4 separately, then add the two answers together.
State a division answer as both parts together: 'quotient X, remainder Y', never just one number.

Split the Bigger Number Before Multiplying

For Parents

For 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication, show your child how to split one number into tens and ones and multiply each part separately before adding, rather than trying to do it in one jump.
For division with a remainder, use real objects, like sharing a bag of sweets, so the 'leftover' after equal sharing is something they can see and count, not just a number that appears at the end.

For Teachers

Students frequently forget to carry a remainder correctly or drop it entirely once the main division is done. Have them always state the answer as a full sentence ('the quotient is 17 and the remainder is 2') rather than writing just one number, to keep both parts visible.

1. Divide 87 by 5. What is the quotient and the remainder?
▶Reveal answer
Quotient 17, remainder 2
5 goes into 87 seventeen times because 5 x 17 = 85. The remainder is 87 - 85 = 2, so the quotient is 17 and the remainder is 2.

How Heavy? How Light?: Weight

Covers kilograms and grams, balancing scales, and weight conversions.

📋 Quick referenceWeight Conversion Quick Rules▶

A kilogram is 1000 times bigger than a gram, so a 3 kg 250 g weight equals 3250 g in total.
On a balance scale question, ask what's already on each side and what's still needed to make both sides equal.

Balance Real Weights Before Converting Numbers

For Parents

If you have a kitchen scale at home, weigh a few real household items together and talk about the reading in both kilograms and grams.
Play a simple 'which is heavier' guessing game with two household objects, then check with a scale, to build a genuine feel for what a kilogram or a gram actually feels like.

For Teachers

On balance-scale questions, students often add the two given weights together instead of finding what's still needed to make both sides equal. Ask 'what's already on each side, and what's missing to balance them?' before any calculation, so the goal is clear before the arithmetic starts.

1. Convert 4 kilograms into grams.
▶Reveal answer
4000 g
1 kilogram equals 1000 grams, so 4 kilograms = 4 x 1000 = 4000 grams.
2. A balancing scale has 2 kg 500 g on one side. What weight, in grams, must be placed on the other side to balance it exactly?
▶Reveal answer
2500 g
For the scale to balance, both sides must weigh the same. 2 kg 500 g is 2000 g + 500 g = 2500 g, so 2500 g is needed on the other side.
3. Two bags weigh 2 kg 250 g and 1 kg 500 g. What is their combined weight in grams?
▶Reveal answer
3750 g
2 kg 250 g = 2250 g, and 1 kg 500 g = 1500 g. Adding both: 2250 + 1500 = 3750 g.

Field and Fences: Perimeter & Area

Covers finding boundary length (perimeter) and counting squares on a grid for area.

📋 Quick referencePerimeter & Area Quick Rules▶

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width), the distance all the way around.
Area of a rectangle = length x width, or count full grid squares directly if each equals 1 unit².
Decide whether the question asks for a fence around a shape or the space it covers before choosing a formula.

Perimeter is the Walk Around, Area is What's Inside

For Parents

Walk the boundary of a real rectangular space, like a garden or a room, together and count the steps, then compare that idea to 'how much floor is inside it' to separate perimeter from area in a physical way.
Draw a simple shape on squared or graph paper together and count the full squares inside it for area, rather than jumping straight to a formula.

For Teachers

Students often confuse the two ideas and apply the perimeter formula when asked for area, or vice versa. Ask 'are we measuring the boundary or the inside surface?' every single time before choosing a formula, until the distinction is automatic.

1. Find the perimeter of a rectangular field that is 12 m long and 7 m wide.
▶Reveal answer
38 m
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width) = 2 x (12 + 7) = 2 x 19 = 38 m.
2. A shape on a grid covers exactly 9 full squares, where each square is 1 cm². What is its area?
▶Reveal answer
9 cm²
When each grid square represents 1 cm², the area is simply the number of full squares covered, so 9 full squares means an area of 9 cm².
3. A rectangular garden is 15 m by 4 m. Find its area.
▶Reveal answer
60 sq m
Area of a rectangle = length x width = 15 x 4 = 60 square metres.

Smart Charts: Data Handling

Covers reading bar charts, simple pie charts, and tally marks.

📋 Quick referenceData Handling Quick Rules▶

Always check what one gridline or symbol represents before reading any bar or pictograph value.
In a pictograph, count the symbols for one item, then multiply by whatever amount a single symbol stands for.
Read a bar chart's scale label first; if each gridline jumps by 5 or 10 instead of 1, misreading it throws off every value on the chart.
A tally group of 5 is drawn as 4 straight lines with 1 line crossed diagonally through them.
In a simple pie chart, the biggest slice is the most common answer or category. Compare slice sizes, not the numbers written on them.

Read the Chart's Key Before Reading Its Bars

For Parents

Keep a simple bar-chart-style tally at home for a week, tracking something real like daily weather or screen time, and let your child read and total it themselves.
When looking at any chart together, ask your child to read the labels and scale first ('what does each bar represent, and what are the numbers along the side?') before asking any question about the data itself.

For Teachers

The most common data-handling error is misreading the chart's scale, assuming each gridline always represents 1 unit even when the scale actually jumps by 5 or 10. Always have students state the value of one gridline out loud before reading any bar.

1. A bar chart shows Monday's sales as 30 books and Tuesday's as 45 books. How many more books were sold on Tuesday than Monday?
▶Reveal answer
15
Subtract Monday's total from Tuesday's total: 45 - 30 = 15 more books sold on Tuesday.
2. A tally chart shows two complete groups of five marks and 2 extra marks. What total does this represent?
▶Reveal answer
12
Each full group of 4 straight marks with a diagonal stroke stands for 5. Here there are two full groups of 5 (10) plus 2 extra single marks, giving 10 + 2 = 12.

Where students at this level usually slip

A missing or extra zero when converting between metric units, writing 3 kg as 300 g instead of 3000 g, is the single most repeated error across the year, whichever pair of units the question happens to use. Anchoring every conversion to its fixed fact, stated before converting, fixes this faster than a written rule.
Students often apply the perimeter formula when asked for area, or vice versa, since both use the same shape's measurements. Have them draw a tiny sketch and shade the space being measured before choosing a formula; this makes the requested quantity visible.
Profit and loss calculations are usually done correctly, but the labelling (profit vs. loss) gets confused when the buying and selling prices are listed in a different order than expected in the question.
New spatial topics, top/front/side views especially, are often guessed from a single flat picture instead of reasoned out. Physically walking around and rotating a real object builds the reasoning that a worksheet alone can't.

Class 4 Maths Learning Milestones & Curriculum Guide

Class 4 introduces more genuinely new topics in one year than almost any other primary grade. Alongside numbers growing to 10,000 and multiplication/division scaling up to 2-digit by 2-digit with remainders, children meet 3D shapes, circles, views from different angles, and real profit-loss money problems for the very first time. This breadth, not just bigger numbers, is what makes Class 4 feel like a bigger jump than Class 3.

Spatial reasoning becomes a real subject this year. Children learn to name and compare 3D shapes by their faces, edges, and corners, identify the radius, diameter, and centre of a circle, and describe an object's top, front, and side views. These topics are best learned by handling and rotating real objects, not by memorising diagrams, since the goal is building a mental model that later supports formal geometry from Class 6 onward.

Number work deepens rather than just growing bigger. Estimation by rounding becomes a genuine checking tool for multi-step word problems, and division introduces remainders as a real, meaningful leftover rather than an operation that always divides evenly. Fractions move from simple halves and quarters into comparing and finding equivalent fractions of the same whole.

The rest of the year applies these skills to real situations: converting between metric units of length, weight, and capacity, working with both 12-hour and 24-hour clock times, calculating profit and loss on money, and reading bar charts, pie charts, and tally marks. Tying each of these to something the child actually does, checking change at a shop, reading a real train timetable, weighing a bag of rice, makes the underlying skill stick far better than a worksheet alone.

Compared with Class 3, the leap is in breadth and abstraction: several entirely new topics arrive at once, and children are expected to reason about shape and space, not just number. Class 4 is the direct foundation for Class 5, where numbers extend into lakhs and crores, area and perimeter get formal formulas, decimals and factors/multiples appear, and geometry adds angles and rotational symmetry. A child who is genuinely comfortable with 2-digit multiplication, division with remainders, and basic spatial reasoning enters Class 5 with far less friction than one who has only memorised isolated facts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I help my child understand long division with remainders?

Use real objects for equal sharing first, like a bag of sweets split among friends, so the 'leftover' after sharing is something they can see and count, not just a number that appears at the end of a written method. Always have them state the full answer as a sentence ('the quotient is 17 and the remainder is 2') rather than writing just one number, so both parts stay visible.

My child mixes up profit and loss. How can I make it clearer?

Make two columns labelled 'paid' and 'received' for a familiar item, then let your child compare the amounts before finding the difference. Ask them to explain whether the seller has more or less money after the sale, and only then name the result. This turns profit and loss into a simple money story instead of two labels to memorize.

Why does my child find top, front, and side views confusing?

This topic is genuinely new and abstract if it's only taught from flat pictures in a book. Use a real object on a table and physically walk around it, naming what you see from above, from the front, and from the side, so the three views come from an object your child can actually rotate and re-examine, not just imagine.
