Free Year 4 Maths Test NSW – Full-Year Practice Exam & Answers
Test your child's Year 4 maths skills with this free NSW practice exam covering place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions, decimals, measurement, shapes, area, time, data, chance and problem solving.
This is an independent Aussie Math Tutor NSW practice paper aligned broadly with NSW Stage 2 Mathematics. Stage 2 spans Years 3 and 4, and schools may sequence content differently, so students may not meet every topic at exactly the same time.
A broad Year 4 / Stage 2 maths assessment
The current NSW Mathematics K–10 syllabus organises Stage 2 learning across Number and algebra, Measurement and space, and Statistics and probability, with Working mathematically embedded throughout.
Number & Algebra
- Whole numbers to at least tens of thousands
- Place value and decimals to 2 decimal places
- Addition and subtraction
- Multiplication and division facts to 10 × 10
- Fractions including halves, thirds, quarters and fifths
- Missing-number relationships
Measurement & Space
- Metres, centimetres and millimetres
- Mass in kilograms and grams
- Capacity in litres and millilitres
- Area using square centimetres and square metres
- Angles compared with a right angle
- 2D shapes, 3D objects, nets and grid maps
- Analog and digital time
Statistics & Probability
- Tables and column-style data
- Reading and comparing values
- Simple totals and differences from data
- Chance experiments
- Likely, unlikely, certain and impossible events

How this Year 4 maths test was built
The main reference for this paper is the current NSW Stage 2 Mathematics syllabus. The test samples the Stage 2 outcomes for place value, decimals, additive and multiplicative relations, fractions, measurement, spatial structure, data and chance.
Historical Year 5 NAPLAN Numeracy papers can still be useful when designing a Year 4 assessment because NAPLAN takes place early in Year 5 and much of the test draws on prior learning. They are especially useful for calibrating concise word problems, interpretation tasks and reasoning. However, this page does not copy NAPLAN questions and is not presented as a NAPLAN test.
Curriculum base
NSW Stage 2 outcomes, which span Years 3 and 4.
Question style
A mix of direct fluency, short-answer, data interpretation and multi-step reasoning.
Originality
All test questions and diagrams on this page are newly written for Aussie Math Tutor NSW.

Year 4 Maths Test NSW FAQs
Is this an official NSW Year 4 exam?
No. It is an independent practice paper based broadly on current Stage 2 outcomes. NSW schools can organise the order of Stage 2 content differently.
Why does Year 4 use Stage 2?
In NSW, Stage 2 spans Years 3 and 4. The syllabus is stage-based, and Part A and Part B do not map rigidly to one school year each.
Can Year 5 NAPLAN papers be used as Year 4 practice?
Yes, particularly as an end-of-Year-4 or Year-5-readiness benchmark. However, they should not replace a Stage 2 syllabus-based assessment because NAPLAN can include a smaller number of questions drawing on current- and following-year content.
When should a Year 4 student take this test?
It is strongest as a broad mid-to-late Year 4 diagnostic, an end-of-year revision test or a readiness check before Year 5. Earlier in the year, unfamiliar content should be treated as information about what has not yet been taught.
What should parents do with the result?
Use the strand breakdown to identify the next learning priority. A child who loses marks mostly in multiplication needs a different plan from a child whose main difficulty is measurement, fractions or reading data.
