Give your fourth grader the confidence to succeed on the Tennessee TCAP Grade 4 Math test:
This Smart Stars practice book provides five full-length, standards-aligned practice tests that mirror the length, item mix, and question types of the real TCAP (TNReady) assessment in Mathematics. Every question was written by experienced educators, reviewed for accuracy, and built around the Tennessee Academic Standards for Mathematics at Grade 4, so the topics and emphasis match what Tennessee students actually see.
Includes 5 Free Interactive Online Practice Tests
Every practice test in this book is also available online, free: the same questions, auto-scored the moment your student finishes, with a step-by-step explanation for every answer.
What’s inside
- Five full-length practice tests, with detailed Answers and Explanations after every test
- Coverage of every Grade 4 math area Tennessee reports (Computation with Whole Numbers, Fractions, Number Relationships and Patterns, and Geometric and Measurement Concepts) weighted toward Fractions, the largest part of the real blueprint
- The real three-subpart structure, with the calculator rule marked on each subpart (no calculator on Subpart 1; a basic four-function calculator on Subparts 2 and 3)
- Field-test-style questions blended invisibly into each test, just like the real TCAP, and fully answered here so nothing on test day feels unfamiliar
- Every explanation walks through the reasoning step by step and ends with a labeled Tip, Check, or Estimate (with a Strategy on the multi-step questions), so students learn the move, not just the answer
What your student needs. A few geometry questions ask your student to measure an angle, so please have a PROTRACTOR on hand for those items. A basic four-function calculator is allowed on Subparts 2 and 3 (but not Subpart 1).
Topics covered
- Place value; reading, writing, comparing, and rounding multi-digit whole numbers, including standard and expanded form
- Multi-digit multiplication and division, and one- and two-step word problems with all four operations
- “Times as many” multiplicative comparison, and interpreting multiplication equations
- Factors, multiples, and prime and composite numbers, and number or shape patterns
- Equivalent fractions; comparing and ordering fractions; adding and subtracting fractions and mixed numbers with like denominators; multiplying a fraction by a whole number
- Decimals to hundredths: decimal notation for fractions, placing decimals on a number line, and comparing decimals
- Classifying two-dimensional figures by parallel and perpendicular sides and by angles; identifying right, acute, and obtuse angles; lines of symmetry
- Measuring and sketching angles with a protractor, and adding angle measures
- Area and perimeter, including finding an unknown side length
Why parents and teachers choose Smart Stars
- Educator-authored. Every question is written and reviewed by classroom-experienced educators.
- Mirrors test day. Each practice test matches the official TCAP shape, three-subpart calculator rule, item mix, and Selected-Response formats, with field-test questions blended in invisibly just like the real test.
- Explanations teach the why. Every entry shows the full worked solution, then a labeled closing Tip, Check, or Estimate (and a Strategy on multi-step problems) so students learn the reasoning.
