Summer Math for Rising 4th Graders

An 8-week plan for a child starting 4th grade in the fall: about 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Weeks 1 to 6 review 3rd grade skills. Weeks 7 and 8 are a first look at 4th grade. It uses 29 free games that run in the browser, with no ads and no sign-up.

How to use it

Each day, your child picks any game from this week's list and plays for about 10 minutes.
Then they colour one box on the calendar. The calendar has no dates, so it never runs out.
Skipping a day, or a whole week, is fine. Just pick up where you left off. There is nothing to catch up on.

Week 1: Times tables

What it practises: Multiplication facts up to 10 × 10, shown as arrays and played fast.

Week 2: Division facts

What it practises: Sharing into equal groups and the division facts that match the times tables.

Week 3: Rounding and estimating

What it practises: Rounding to the nearest 10 or 100 and checking an answer by estimating.

Week 4: Fractions

What it practises: Reading fractions, comparing them and finding them on a number line.

Week 5: Area and perimeter

What it practises: Area as rows of squares, and perimeter as the distance around.

Week 6: Time and measuring

What it practises: Elapsed time, reading scales for mass and measuring liquid.

Week 7: Multiplying bigger numbersfirst look at 4th grade

What it practises: Multi-digit multiplying with the area model, and factor pairs.

Week 8: Equivalent fractions and anglesfirst look at 4th grade

What it practises: Fractions that are worth the same, and naming angles: two big ideas of 4th grade.
