Singapore Math Grade 4

Our curriculum is spiral

Please note that our virtual Singapore Math Grade 4 curriculum is spiral and it provides for the review of the important concepts that students learned in Grade 3. The introduction of new mathematical concepts is built upon topics covered earlier with increased level of difficulty. Our online Singapore Math K-6 curriculum is aligned with all standard Singapore Math textbook series and it includes all content that these series cover, from K grade through 5-th grade.

Students should know how to add and subtract four-digit numbers using the standard algorithm and recall their multiplication facts quickly. Students should also know how to use a part-whole and comparison bar models to interpret and solve two-step word problems. If students are unfamiliar with bar models, then they should fill in gaps from content in Grade 3.
