Class IV mathematics emphasizes on the depth and accuracy of the topics studied in the previous class. The class IV mathematics syllabus helps students to gradually build their logical thinking and reasoning to understand the mathematics topics. It is a known fact that consistent practice of the topics and questions helps in a better understanding and accuracy of the subject, therefore, the students need to practice questions as per the syllabus in order to gain confidence in it.

Class IV Mathematics Syllabus

The class IV mathematics syllabus is important for the students because a correct and complete syllabus in hand gives an idea of the concepts covered under class IV mathematics. The students can find a detailed class IV mathematics syllabus given below.

Geometry (Shapes & Spatial Understanding)

• Drawing a circlefree hand and with a compass.

• Converting meter into centimeter and vice versa.
• Solving problems involving length and distances.
• Estimating the length of an object and the distance between two given locations.

Measurement (Weight)

• Weighing objects using a balance and standard units.
• Determining the sums and differences of weights.
• Estimates the weight of an object and verifying using a balance.

Measurement (Volume)

• Measuring volumesof given liquid using containers marked with standard units.
• Determining sums and differences of volumes.
• Estimating the volume of a liquid contained in a vessel and verifying by measuring.

Time

• Correlating the number of days in a year with the number of days in each month.
• Justifying the reason for the need of a leap year.
• Reading the clock timeto the nearest hours and minutes.
• Expressing time, using the terms, ‘a.m.’ and ‘p.m.’
• Estimating the duration of familiar events.
• Finding approximate time elapsed by (to the nearest hour) forward counting.
• Computing the number of days between two dates.

Data Handling

• Collecting dataand representing it in the form of bar graphs.
• Drawing Inferences by discussing with the teacher.

Patterns

• Identifies patternsin multiplication and division: multiples of 9, 3, etc.
• Casting out nines from a given number to check if it is a multiple of nine.
• Multiplying and dividing by 10s, 100s.
• Identifying geometrical patterns based on symmetry

The Class IV Mathematics syllabus can be completed by practicing the questions of the topics given above. They should try to relate the topics with their day-to-day life to gain confidence in the subject.
