Grade 4 Mathematics
What the Georgia Milestones end-of-grade test for Grade 4 Mathematics covers, from the state's assessment blueprint: its reporting categories and their points, the standards each category assesses, how complex the questions are meant to be, and the kinds of questions on it.

Reporting categories
Points are the blueprint's approximate figures. Each percent is of the test's 58 points, rounded; a range such as 7–8 counts at its midpoint.
Numerical Reasoning
30 points, about 52% of the test
Recognize patterns within the base ten place value system with quantities presented in real-life situations to compare and round multi-digit whole numbers through the hundred-thousands place.
- 4.NR.1Whole & Decimal Place Value
Using part-whole strategies, solve problems involving addition and subtraction through the hundred-thousands place, as well as multiplication and division of multi-digit whole numbers presented in real-life, mathematical situations.
- 4.NR.2Whole Number Operations
Solve real-life problems involving addition, subtraction, equivalence, and comparison of fractions with denominators of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100 using part-whole strategies and visual models.
- 4.NR.4Fraction Operations & Comparison
Solve real-life problems involving addition, equivalence, comparison of fractions with denominators of 10 and 100, and comparison of decimal numbers as tenths and hundredths using part-whole strategies and visual models.
- 4.NR.5Decimal Fractions & Comparison
Geometric & Spatial Reasoning
13 points, about 22% of the test
Investigate the concepts of angles and angle measurement to estimate and measure angles.
- 4.GSR.7Angles and Angle Measurement
Identify and draw geometric objects, classify polygons based on properties, and solve problems involving area and perimeter of rectangular figures.
- 4.GSR.8Geometry & Area Overview
Measurement & Data Reasoning
8 points, about 14% of the test
Measure time and objects that exist in the world to solve real-life, mathematical problems and analyze graphical displays of data to answer relevant questions.
- 4.MDR.6Measurement & Data Overview
Patterning & Algebraic Reasoning
7 points, about 12% of the test
Generate and analyze patterns, including those involving shapes, input/output diagrams, factors, multiples, prime numbers, and composite numbers.
- 4.PAR.3Patterns, Factors & Multiples
Also part of the test, without points of their own
Practices
From the blueprint: “These practices are embedded within items aligned to the mathematics content standards but are not reported as a separate reporting category.”
Depth of Knowledge
From the blueprint: “Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is measured on a scale of 1 to 4 and refers to the level of cognitive demand (different kinds of thinking) required to complete an assessment item.”
| DOK | Points | Share of the test |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 17 to 23 | 30% to 40% |
| Level 2 | 26 to 32 | 45% to 55% |
| Level 3 | 6 to 12 | 10% to 20% |
| Level 4 | Not on this test | |
Kinds of questions
| Question type | Questions | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1-point Selected-Response and Technology-Enhanced | 42 | 42 |
| 2-point Technology-Enhanced | 8 | 16 |
| Field Test Items | 5 | 0 |
| Total | 55 | 58 |
Achievement levels
For the subjects and grades Georgia tests, Georgia Homeroom shows what each Milestones achievement level means in practice, using the state's own descriptions. Georgia publishes these descriptions for tested content, so they are not available for every standard. On this test, 8 of the 8 standards have them, marked “Achievement levels” above; each standard's page shows them.
