Introduction
This comprehensive practice assessment is designed to mirror the rigor and structure
of the North Carolina End-of-Grade Mathematics examination for Grade 4. The
primary purpose of this exam is to evaluate student proficiency across foundational
mathematical theories and applied professional knowledge required by state
,standards. This assessment utilizes a multiple-choice format featuring both standard
computation and complex, scenario-based problems. Students are challenged to
demonstrate critical thinking and decision-making skills through real-world
applications of math. By emphasizing practical problem-solving and regulatory
compliance in mathematical contexts, this tool ensures candidates are prepared for
high-stakes testing environments while reinforcing essential academic standards.
1. A bakery sells boxes of cupcakes. Each box contains 6 cupcakes. If the bakery
sells 48 boxes, how many total cupcakes were sold?
A. 54
B. 248
🟢 C. 288
D. 296
🔴 RATIONALE: To find the total number of cupcakes, multiply the number of boxes
by the cupcakes per box (48 × 6). 40 × 6 = 240 and 8 × 6 = 48; 240 + 48 = 288.
2. Which of the following numbers is prime?
A. 9
🟢 B. 13
,C. 15
D. 21
🔴 RATIONALE: A prime number has exactly two factors: 1 and itself. 13 is only
divisible by 1 and 13, whereas 9, 15, and 21 have additional factors.
3. In the number 55,555, how does the value of the digit in the thousands place
compare to the value of the digit in the hundreds place?
🟢 A. It is 10 times greater.
B. It is 100 times greater.
C. It is 1/10 the value.
D. It is the same value.
🔴 RATIONALE: In a base-ten system, each place value is ten times the value of the
place to its right. Therefore, the thousands place is 10 × 100.
4. A rectangle has a length of 12 cm and a width of 7 cm. What is the perimeter?
A. 19 cm
B. 31 cm
🟢 C. 38 cm
D. 84 cm
, 🔴 RATIONALE: Perimeter is calculated as 2(L + W ). 12 + 7 = 19, and 19 × 2 =
38.
5. Which fraction is equivalent to 3/4?
A. 6/10
🟢 B. 9/12
C. 12/20
D. 15/16
🔴 RATIONALE: Multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 3/4 by 3 yields
9/12 (3 × 3 = 9 and 4 × 3 = 12).
6. A school library has 1,248 books. If they distribute the books equally among 4
grades, how many books does each grade receive?
A. 302
🟢 B. 312
C. 412
D. 499
🔴 RATIONALE: 1, 248 ÷ 4 = 312. Dividing 1,200 by 4 gives 300, and dividing 48
by 4 gives 12.
