This course breaks fourth grade math into six weeks of daily videos with four topics per week, guided 'you do', 'we do', and solo practice, quizzes, and a final exam.
Day 1 teaches addition to fourth graders, showing how to spot keyword clues in word problems and master the standard algorithm with carrying, lining up digits, and practice problems.
Practice subtraction using the standard algorithm in day two of the 4th grade math bootcamp, borrowing across place values and recognizing keywords like fewer, minus, and take away.
Explore multi-step word problems by spotting keywords for addition, subtraction, and multiplication, then solve through two-step operations, as shown with fruit totals and money problems.
Explore quiz explanations for 4th grade math, including subtraction with borrowing and place-value strategies. Solve multiplication, addition, and a six-month word problem about monthly payments.
Build skill in dividing four-digit numbers through long division in the 4th grade math bootcamp, practicing setup, bringing down digits, and computing quotients.
Master a quick division trick for numbers with zeros: cancel matching zeros or add the right zeros after simplifying, and apply it to problems like 1500/3 and 35000/5000.
Learn to check your multiplication and division work by reversing operations: divide the product to recover the original factor, and multiply the quotient by the divisor to verify the dividend.
Explore division with remainders and convert remainders to fractions, turning answers into mixed numbers like 1658 and 1/5 or 540 and 8/9, with guided practice.
Practice long division with standard algorithm on problems like 3205 ÷ 5 and 21000 ÷ 3, then check your work by using the opposite operation and convert remainders to fractions.
Learn to find least common multiple by listing multiples of two numbers and selecting the smallest common multiple, with examples using 4 and 6 (LCM 12) and 6 and 8 (LCM 24).
Convert improper fractions to mixed numbers by dividing the numerator by the denominator, using the quotient, remainder, and divisor. Examples include seven over four and twenty over three.
Learn to simplify fractions by finding the greatest common factor of numerator and denominator and dividing both by that number, as shown with 15/20 to 3/4 and 9/30 to 3/10.
Explore fraction concepts with quiz explanations: compute the lcm of 3 and 8 as 24, determine the gcf of 18 and 24 as 6, and convert 25/4 to 6 1/4.
Multiply fractions by cross-multiplying, then simplify using the greatest common factor, as shown in examples like 3/4 × 2/5 and 1/3 × 5/6, with practice.
Learn to divide fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal, using keep-change-flip, and converting improper fractions to mixed numbers through clear examples.
Learn to add fractions by keeping the denominator the same and using either the criss-cross undersurface method or the least common multiple method. Then simplify using the greatest common factor.
Master subtracting fractions using crisscross and lcm methods, simplify results, and practice with examples like three eighths minus one fourth and one half minus three tenths.
Demonstrates solving four fraction problems from the quiz, covering addition, multiplication, subtraction, and division of fractions; uses criss-cross undersells and reciprocals, and checks for common factors to simplify.
Discover how decimals express parts of a whole using a place value chart, with tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, and learn to align decimals when adding.
Master subtracting decimals by lining up decimal points and borrowing when needed, with guided examples such as 9.07 minus 3.41 and 34.6 minus 2.33.
Learn to multiply decimals by treating them as whole numbers, then place the decimal by counting total digits after the decimal. Use estimation to check accuracy.
Master dividing decimals using long division, moving the decimal to convert the divisor to a whole number, and handling decimals in the dividend or in both.
Line up decimals, fill empty places with zeros, and apply carries in addition and subtraction. Move the decimal for multiplication and division with examples like 3.67+32.9 and 58.86÷0.6.
Master rounding with a place value chart, identifying the target and Koetter. If Koetter is five or more, raise the target; otherwise stay the same and zero out later digits.
Explore how to identify and verify numerical patterns using addition, multiplication, and two-step patterns. Practice testing different approaches to find the pattern that fits.
Learn to compute the median, mean, and range from ordered data sets, using simple steps and examples from day 3 of the 4th grade math bootcamp.
Explore prime numbers and prime factorization with hands-on examples, uncovering how to break numbers like 50 and 28 into prime factors using two, three, and five.
Explore quiz explanations for rounding to the nearest hundred, identifying patterns, and computing the median, mean, and range, plus the prime factorization of 40.

Overview
4th grade math is challenging for many parents, teachers, and students. This course is designed to make 4th grade math easier for everyone. Even the best 4th grade math teacher isn't able to connect, 100% of the time, with every student. Most math students need extra help, every now and then, to excel in class. That’s why so many families find this math course helpful.
Who should take this course?
Parents. Do you want to help your child with math? Take this course to remember and relearn the most important topics in 4th grade math. You can even take this course with your child.
Teachers. Are you looking for a supplement to your regular 4th grade math lessons? Do you need an activity for your advanced 3rd graders? Are you looking for a way to help some of your 5th grade students catch up in math class? This course might be the solution you need. Help your students learn even when you aren't teaching, by having them complete this course.
Why take this course?
School doesn’t always provide everything you need to succeed in math class. Most students require extra math help at some point. Teachers often don't have the time to give one-on-one instruction, tutors can be extremely expensive, and parents don't have the time to teach their kids. An online math course, like this one, is often the perfect solution for math students. You can work at your pace, rewatching videos to gain a better understanding. The math homework, quizzes, and reviews help ensure understanding. A 3rd grader will find an interesting math challenge, a 4th grader can stay on target, and a 5th grader, struggling with math, can catch up by learning the fundamentals.
What does this course include?
This course is separated into 6 weeks:
Addition, Subtraction, and Multiplication
Division
Fractions (part 1)
Fractions (part 2)
