Fourth Grade Homeschool Curriculum and Lesson Plans

What Do Fourth Graders Learn?

In 4th grade, students will learn to use research tools to write reports. They will master addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills and start to explore simple geometry.

They will read and create their own charts, graphs, and tables. At this age, fourth grade science students will start to understand the complexity of the systems in nature. And this year, 4th graders will focus on everything from ancient civilizations to modern economic principles in social studies.
