Problem Solving Study Guide

Problem solving is an essential skill in mathematics that involves the ability to understand a problem, develop a plan to solve it, carry out the plan, and evaluate the solution for accuracy. Here are some key steps and strategies to help you become a better problem solver:

• Understand the Problem: Read the problem carefully and make sure you understand what is being asked. Identify the known and unknown quantities, and determine the relationships between them.
• Devise a Plan: Consider different strategies for solving the problem, such as drawing a diagram, making a table, using logical reasoning, working backwards, or using a similar problem as a model.
• Carry Out the Plan: Once you have a strategy in mind, start solving the problem step by step, making sure to show all your work and calculations.
• Evaluate the Solution: After finding a solution, check to see if it makes sense and satisfies all the conditions given in the problem. Also, consider if there are alternative ways to solve the problem or if the answer could be expressed differently.

Here are some common strategies for problem solving:

• Draw a Diagram: When dealing with geometric or spatial problems, drawing a diagram can help you visualize the situation and identify the key elements.
• Make a Table or Chart: Organizing information in a table or chart can help you identify patterns , relationships, or trends that can lead to a solution.
• Work Backwards: Start with the end goal and work backwards to determine the steps needed to reach that goal.
• Use Logical Reasoning: Apply logic and reasoning to make educated guesses and eliminate unlikely possibilities.
• Look for a Pattern: Sometimes problems can be solved by identifying a pattern or sequence in the given information.

By practicing these problem-solving strategies and approaches, you can become more confident and proficient in tackling mathematical problems of varying complexity.

26 Math Problems for 4th Graders

Fourth-grade math has a strong focus on multiplication, division, and fractions. As we cover a variety of fourth-grade math problems together, pay attention to the methods we use, including breaking down fractions and using number lines to solve real-world word problems. 

Math Word Problems for 4th Graders: Multi-digit Multiplication

Answer: Sam bought 144 bottles of water. There are 12 bottles in a dozen. 12 x 12 = 144.

Answer: Mr. Rodger bought 1,600 juice boxes. 100 x 16 = 1,600.

Answer: They bought 80 total binders. 6 x 5 = 30. 10 x 5 =50. 50 + 30 = 80.

Answer: Crystal has saved a total of 350 cents. Each dime is worth 10 cents. 35 x 10 =350.

Answer: Jason will have 720 new baseball cards after two years. There are 12 months in every year, so in two years there are 24 months (12 x 2 = 24). 24 x 30 =720.

Word Problems for 4th Graders: Dividing to Find Quotients

Answer: Jack should plant 14 seeds in each row. 98 / 7 = 14.

Answer: Kim should fill Polly’s dog bowl 8 times a day.  480 / 60 = 8

Answer: The sunflower has been growing for 12 weeks. There are 12 inches in a foot, so there are 24 inches in two feet (12 x 2 =24). 24 inches divided by 2 is equal to 12.

Answer: Cait will have to walk her dog 50 times to save $500. 500 / 10 = 50

4th Grade Math Problems: Fractions

Answer: ⅛ + ⅛ + ⅛ + ⅛ + ⅛ + ⅛ + ⅛ + ⅛ = 6/8, so 8 people could have eaten ⅛ of a pie each or  ⅜ + ⅜ = 6/8, so 2 people could have eaten ⅜ of the pie each.

Answer: 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9 + 1/9  or  3/9 + 6/9 = 5/9

Answer: Yes, they ran the same distance.

Answer: Yes they completed the same portion of their homework.

Answer: The baker will need 6/8 cups of oil. ¾ x 2 = 6/8

Answer: She will need 1 ½ feet of space in her garden. 6 x 3/12 = 18/12 = 1 6/12 or 1 ½.

Math Problems for 4th Graders: Rounding Whole Numbers using Number Lines

Answer: 900

Answer: 6,000

Answer: 360

Answer: 500

Answer: 2,000

Math Problems for 4th Graders: Word Problems with Decimals and Money Notation

Answer: Jake’s grass will grow .7 millimetres in one week. .1 x 7 = .7

Answer: Jason has a total of 60 cents (.60). A nickel is worth 5 cents or .05. 

.05 x 12 is .60.

Answer: Reese spent a total of $19.50 at the movie theater. 

$4.50 x 3 = $13.50. $3.00 x 2 = $6.00. $13.50 + $6.00 = $19.50 

Answer: Steve has $6.50 left over in his budget. $11.00 + $12.50 + $20.00 = $43.50. $50.00 – $43.50 = $6.50

Answer: Yes, he will have enough money for a $200 deposit. $52.12, $69.40, $42.80, and $35.75 added together equal $200.07.

Fun Math Problem Solving Activities for the Fourth Grade Classroom

Math is an important subject that students need to master in order to do well in their future studies. But it can be difficult to make math fun for students, especially at the fourth grade level. That’s why I’ve put together this list of my favorite problem solving activities that my fourth grade students love! Let’s take a look.

Problem Solving Ideas

Math Games – One of my favorite activities is to have the students play math games such as “24 Challenge” or “Math Baseball”. In these games, students are given a set of math facts or equations and they must solve them before their opponents can. This helps them practice their problem-solving skills while having fun. It also encourages them to work together as a team, which is great for building teamwork skills.

Word Problems – Another great activity is having the students work on word problems together. I like to have them write out the equations and then discuss how they solved each one. This helps them understand how to break down complex problems and identify key words or phrases that will help them figure out the answer more quickly. It also gets them thinking critically about how they approach solving each problem, which can be very beneficial in later grades when they have more challenging material to tackle!

Group Work – Group work can be a great way for the students to practice problem solving skills with their peers. I like to assign groups of four or five and give each group a set of math problems that they need to solve together as a team. This helps reinforce collaboration and cooperation among the students, as well as fostering an environment where everyone is comfortable voicing their ideas without fear of judgment from their peers or teacher.

Math doesn’t have to be boring! Problem solving activities are a great way for fourth grade teachers to engage their students in learning while still making sure they understand key concepts from the curriculum. From math games and word problems, to group work, there are plenty of activities you can use in your classroom that your fourth graders will love! And who knows—you might even find yourself having fun too !
