Common Questions for this 4th Grade Math Review

Q: Does this cover Reducing Fractions?
A: Yes! Clue 2 requires students to Add Fractions (Standard 4.NF.B.3) and then simplify/reduce their answers to simplest form. This is excellent practice for fraction equivalency.

Q: Is the Perimeter activity Metric or Customary?
A: Both! We know schools use different systems, so pages 8 & 9 include options for both Customary and Metric units. You can print the version that suits your curriculum best.

Q: How does differentiation work with these?
A: That’s our secret weapon! Many of our stories are available for other grades, so you can “clue swap” with the 2-6 grade packs. We even have a blog post explaining how: learn how to differentiate here.
