In grade 4 (class 4), children use their times tables to multiply bigger numbers: up to 4 digits by 1 digit and 2 digits by 2 digits. They learn the area model and partial products, multiply by 10, 100 and 1,000, estimate to check answers, and solve “times as many” and multi-step word problems. Fractions are multiplied by whole numbers for the first time.
