Grade 4 Addition Worksheets
Free printable addition practice for Grade 4 students. Generate problems, solve them on screen or paper, and download as PDF.
What Your Child Will Learn
In Grade 4, addition extends to numbers up to 10,000 and includes adding decimal numbers (tenths and hundredths). Students solidify the standard algorithm and use estimation to verify their answers. They also add fractions with like denominators, connecting addition across number types.
Multi-step word problems now involve larger numbers and more complex scenarios, requiring students to plan their approach before calculating. Mental math is emphasized for problems like adding 999 + 456 by adjusting (1,000 + 455). Students build fluency and flexibility, choosing the most efficient strategy for each problem.
Skills Covered
- Adding whole numbers to 10,000 using the standard algorithm
- Adding decimal tenths and hundredths
- Adding fractions with like denominators
- Estimating sums to verify answers
- Solving multi-step addition word problems
- Choosing efficient mental math strategies
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number): performing operations with multi-digit whole numbers and decimal numbers to hundredths.
Parent Tip: Encourage your child to estimate before computing — if 3,478 + 2,215 is about 3,500 + 2,200 = 5,700, their exact answer should be close to that.
What your child will practice

- 1.Calculate the sum: 4,567 + 8,912
- 2.Sarah is reading a book that has 345 pages. She has already read 187 pages. How many pages does she still need to read to finish the book? (This problem involves addition to find the total, even though it's phrased as 'how many more'.)
- 3.Add the following decimal numbers: 12.5 + 3.75
- 4.A school collected 1,234 cans of food in the first week and 987 cans in the second week. What is the total number of cans collected over the two weeks?
- 5.Compare the two sums: Is 5,678 + 9,012 greater than, less than, or equal to 10,000 + 4,000?
- 6.Imagine a number line from 0 to 10. If you start at 2 and make an jump of 3.5 units, where do you land?

Create a Free AccountFrequently Asked Questions
How many addition problems should my child practice each day?
10-15 problems per day is ideal. Short, consistent daily sessions build addition fluency faster than long, infrequent practice. Focus on accuracy first, then speed.
What addition strategies should my child learn?
Key strategies include counting on, making ten, doubles and near-doubles, and breaking numbers apart (decomposition). Start with manipulatives, then move to mental math.
When should my child have addition facts memorized?
Most curricula expect basic addition fact fluency (sums to 18) by the end of Grade 2. Grade 3-4 students should handle multi-digit addition with regrouping confidently.
