Give your fourth grader the confidence to succeed on the Oklahoma OSTP 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 OSTP spring assessment in Mathematics. Every question was written by experienced educators, reviewed for accuracy, and built around the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics at Grade 4 (Oklahoma’s own standards, not the Common Core) so the topics and emphasis match what Oklahoma students actually see.
OSTP (the Oklahoma School Testing Program) is the test the Oklahoma State Department of Education gives to every public-school student in Grades 3-8. It is delivered by Cognia as a fixed-form (not computer-adaptive) test, given online by default, with paper forms available as an accommodation; the spring administration is the one that counts toward grade-level results. The Grade 4 math test uses no calculator and no reference sheet, is given in two sections, and blends standard four-option multiple choice with technology-enhanced items (drag-and-drop, fill-in, and inline-choice tasks); a few questions are linked to a common stimulus. On the test a student answers 50 scored questions, with 10 unscored field-test questions mixed in invisibly. Each practice test here follows that same shape: 50 scored-style questions plus 10 field-test-style questions, 60 in all, for 300 questions across the book: to build true test-day endurance.
What’s inside
- Five full-length practice tests, with detailed Answers and Explanations after every test
- Coverage of every Grade 4 math area Oklahoma reports (Number & Operations, Algebraic Reasoning & Algebra, Geometry & Measurement, and Data & Probability) weighted toward the Number work (place value, multiplication and division, fractions and decimals) that carries the most questions, just like the real blueprint
- Field-test-style questions blended invisibly into each test, just like the real OSTP, and fully answered here so nothing on test day feels unfamiliar
- Practice in every OSTP item format rendered for paper: four-option multiple choice, plus the technology-enhanced item types the computer test uses (drag-and-drop, fill-in/type-in, inline-choice, table, and graph tasks) rendered as equivalent multiple choice, with number lines, line plots, bar graphs, frequency tables, Venn diagrams, clocks, rulers, protractors, area grids, and unit-cube figures
- 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
- A combined Quick Answer Key for fast self-grading
- A family letter, a test-taking tips section, and a Grade 4 math study reference page up front: included as a study aid, since the real OSTP provides no reference sheet
- No-calculator practice throughout, matching the official OSTP Grade 3-5 policy, with each test split into two sections like test day
No calculator and no reference sheet. The real Grade 4 test provides neither, so students practice exactly as they will test: with only pencil, paper, and what they have learned. An inch-and-centimeter ruler is helpful for the measurement and line-plot questions.
Topics covered
- Place value, and reading, writing, comparing, and ordering whole numbers up to 1,000,000, including standard and expanded form, plus multiplying and dividing by 10, 100, and 1,000 with mental math
- Multiplication facts, 3-digit by 1-digit and 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication, estimating products, and multi-step word problems
- Division of a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number, with and without remainders
- Fractions: equivalent fractions, benchmark fractions, comparing and ordering, decomposing a fraction into a sum, and adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators using models
- Decimals to the hundredths, the connection between fractions and decimals, comparing and ordering decimals, and money problems including making change
- Number and shape patterns, input/output rules, and solving for an unknown in an equation
- Classifying quadrilaterals (squares, rectangles, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, and kites) and comparing three-dimensional figures by faces, edges, and vertices; identifying points, lines, rays, angles, and parallel and perpendicular lines
- Measuring and classifying angles with a protractor, finding the area of figures by decomposing them into rectangles, finding volume by counting unit cubes, measuring length to the nearest centimeter and quarter inch, and choosing customary and metric units
- Telling elapsed time and converting between units of time in one step
- Reading and building line plots, bar graphs, frequency tables, and Venn diagrams, and analyzing data to answer “how many more,” combine-and-compare, and two-step questions
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 OSTP shape, item mix, question formats, two-section structure, and no-calculator, no-reference-sheet policy, with field-test questions blended in invisibly just like the real test.
- Built for Oklahoma. Aligned to the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics at Grade 4 (Oklahoma’s own standards, not the Common Core) with grade-appropriate real-world contexts and a diverse cast of student names.
- Explanations teach the why. Every Answers and Explanations 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.
- Varied and graduated. Slot positions, contexts, names, and number choices rotate test-to-test, and the five tests step up in difficulty: the later tests lean on more multi-step and multi-part reasoning: so no two feel like the same practice run.
