Year 4 maths builds on foundations with more challenging operations and introduces concepts that many students find tricky for the first time. This is where gaps from earlier years start to show, and our programme addresses them head-on.

Key Topics Covered:

Multi-digit multiplication and division, fractions with different denominators, financial maths and money, 3D objects, location and direction, capacity, volume, and interpreting data.

Parent Tip:

If your child struggled with multiplication in Year 3, Year 4 fractions will be harder. We always check and fill earlier gaps before pushing forward.

Recall multiplication facts up to 10 x 10 with fluency

Add and subtract fractions with the same denominator

Use place value to solve problems with numbers beyond 10,000

Calculate area and perimeter of rectangles

Classify angles as acute, right, obtuse or reflex

Interpret data displays and calculate simple statistics

S.No	Topic	What We Cover
01	Understanding Tenths and Hundredths	Students explore decimal place value by modelling tenths and hundredths using materials (decipipes, base-10 blocks, paper strips). They understand that decimals represent parts of a whole.
02	Reading and Writing Decimals in Context	Students practise reading, writing, and interpreting decimals in real-life situations such as money and measurement. They compare “two dollars seventy-five” and “two point seven five metres”.
03	Renaming Decimals (0.25 → 25 hundredths)	Students rename decimals using place value relationships: 1/10 = 0.1, 1/100 = 0.01, 0.25 = 25 hundredths. Use fraction–decimal links.
04	Decimal Number Lines (Tenths & Hundredths)	Students place decimals on number lines between 0 and 1, focusing on tenths and hundredths. They learn precision in identifying positions between whole numbers.
05	Odd and Even Numbers (Properties)	Identify odd/even numbers, explore patterns in their behaviour (odd+odd=even), and justify whether numbers can be shared evenly between 2.
06	Divisibility and Even Sharing	Apply algorithms/flowcharts to determine whether numbers are divisible by 2. Explore equal grouping concepts using materials.
07	Equivalent Fractions Using Models	Students build equivalent fractions using paper folding, pattern blocks, and capacity models (e.g., 1/2 = 2/4 = 4/8).
08	Fraction–Decimal Connections (¼ = 0.25)	Students relate fractions to decimals using measurement (metres, litres) and concrete models.
09	Counting by Fractions & Mixed Numerals	Students count in halves, quarters, thirds; learn improper ↔ mixed numerals; represent on number lines.
10	Multiplying & Dividing by 10 (Place Value Shift)	Students use place value charts to show how multiplying/dividing by 10 shifts digits left or right.

"My daughter went from struggling with fractions to confidently solving complex problems. The teachers are patient, knowledgeable, and really understand how to make learning fun. Best decision we made for her education!"

"We tried two other tutoring services before TutorExel. The difference is night and day. My son actually looks forward to his classes now, and his NAPLAN results improved dramatically. Worth every penny!"
