What the grade 4 test covers

This is 4th grade math standardized test practice for New York State, split as the blueprint in NYSED's educator guide splits the test: whole numbers in base ten, 20 to 30 percent; fractions, 20 to 30; operations and algebraic thinking, 15 to 25; geometry, 13 to 23; measurement and data, 9 to 14. Decimals and unit conversions are taught after the test and assessed in grade 5, so they are left out.

Fractions the grade 4 way

New York limits grade 4 fractions to the denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 100, and this page keeps to them. Under each answer is its standard, such as NY-4.NF.3c.

  • Geometry is 13 to 23 percent of the grade 4 test, against 2 to 8 in grade 3. Know angles, triangle names and symmetry.

Questions and answers

How many questions are on the New York State math test in grade 4?

44 over two days. Session 1 has 30 multiple-choice questions, some of them field test questions that do not count. Session 2 has 5 multiple-choice and 9 constructed-response questions worth 1, 2 or 3 credits.

Is the grade 4 New York State math test timed?

No. Students get as much time as they need within the school day. For grade 4 the educator guide estimates 65 to 75 minutes for each of the two sessions.

What can a 4th grader use on the NYS math test?

A ruler and a protractor, in both sessions. Calculators are not permitted in grades 3 to 5, and the mathematics reference sheet starts in grade 5, so a fourth grader has none.

Is this NYS practice math test for grade 4 from the state?

No. It is unofficial, and the questions were written for this site. NYSED posts released questions from past grades 3 to 8 tests, and the box under the questions links to them.

What score is proficient on the grade 4 math test?

The state reports four performance levels on a scale score. In 2026, Level 3, which means proficient, ran from 450 to 485 in grade 4 mathematics. A percent on practice questions cannot be turned into a level.
