About this book
Give your fourth grader the confidence to succeed on the Utah RISE 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 RISE spring assessment in Mathematics. Every question was written by experienced educators, reviewed for accuracy, and built around the Utah Core Standards for Mathematics at Grade 4 — Utah’s own standards — so the topics and emphasis match what Utah students actually see.
Take a look inside
RISE — Readiness, Improvement, Success, Empowerment — is the test the Utah State Board of Education gives to every public-school student in Grades 3–8.
- Format: on the real test the computer chooses each question from a large pool, so no two students see exactly the same test.
- Length: a full Grade 4 form is about 50 questions, with a few unscored field-test questions mixed in invisibly.
- Each practice test here: 50 questions built to the Grade 4 blueprint, with field-test-style questions blended in, 250 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 strand RISE reports — Operations & Algebraic Thinking, Number & Operations in Base Ten, Number & Operations-Fractions, and Measurement & Data with Geometry — weighted toward the Base Ten and Fractions work that carries the most questions, just like the real blueprint
- Field-test-style questions blended invisibly into each test, just like the real RISE, and fully answered here so nothing on test day feels unfamiliar
- A combined Quick Answer Key after all five tests for fast self-grading
Topics covered
- Place value to 1,000,000; reading, writing, comparing, and rounding multi-digit whole numbers, including expanded form
- Multi-digit addition and subtraction with the standard algorithm, including subtracting across zeros
- Multi-digit multiplication (up to four-digit by one-digit and two-digit by two-digit) and division (four-digit by one-digit) with remainders and area models
- “Times as many” multiplicative comparison, multi-step word problems including interpreting remainders, factor pairs, multiples, prime and composite numbers, and number and shape patterns
- Fractions as numbers: equivalent fractions, comparing and ordering, adding and subtracting with like denominators including mixed numbers, and multiplying a fraction by a whole number
- Decimal notation for tenths and hundredths, adding tenths and hundredths, and comparing decimals to hundredths
- Measurement: converting from larger to smaller units, area and perimeter of rectangles and composite figures, and line plots marked in halves, quarters, and eighths
- Angles: measuring with a protractor, angle as a fraction of a 360° circle, and finding an unknown angle when a larger angle is split
- Geometry: points, lines, rays, and angles; classifying two-dimensional figures and right triangles; and lines of symmetry
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 RISE Grade 4 blueprint, item mix, question formats, and no-calculator, no-reference-sheet policy, with field-test questions blended in invisibly just like the real test.
- 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.
