Frequently asked questions

▸What data work is expected in Grade 4?

Solving comparison, sum and difference problems from information presented in tables and records. These sheets cover that with five-category written records, two-step totals, and questions that use a survey total to recover an entry that is missing.

▸How is this different from the Grade 3 sheets?

Records go from four categories to five, counts roughly double, and The Missing Entry adds a question that cannot be answered by reading forwards at all — the answer is not on the page until the child works it out.

▸Are line graphs or bar charts included?

No. Every question is answered from a written record. Drawing and reading graphs is a separate skill needing a printed grid, and these sheets deliberately do not claim it.

▸How long should a Grade 4 data sheet take?

Ten questions is usually fifteen to twenty minutes at this grade, because the totals are worth writing down. Drop the count to six for a warm-up.

▸Does the same link give the same sheet?

Yes. The link in your address bar reproduces the identical worksheet exactly, which is what makes it usable for a fair re-test a fortnight later.
