About the LEAP 2025 Grade 4 Math Test
Grade 4 math on LEAP is a real step up from grade 3, and the scoring frame is the same one every Louisiana parent should keep front of mind: "Mastery" is the on-grade-level target, and "Basic" is below it. Statewide, only about a third of students in grades 3-8 reach Mastery or above in math.
The test measures the Louisiana Student Standards. Grade-4 math centers on multi-digit multiplication and long division, and a deeper treatment of fractions — equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and adding and subtracting with like denominators. LEAP organizes the test into Major Content and Additional & Supporting Content, with multi-step reasoning tasks throughout.
Statewide in 2026, 34% of Louisiana students (grades 3-8) reached Mastery or above in math (LDOE's headline figure is by subject across the grade band).
LEAP is given online (LDOE also schedules paper-based testing for grade 3). NO calculator is allowed at grade 4.
Mastery + Advanced = on grade level. 'Basic' is BELOW Mastery. LDOE's headline figure is by subject across grades 3-8.

Aim for Mastery and know 'Basic' is below grade level — the LEAP naming misleads many parents.
- 2
Drill multi-digit multiplication and long division — grade 4's biggest new skills, done by hand (no calculator).
- 3
Go deep on fractions — equivalence and comparison, the year fractions either click or become a gap.
- 4
Practice multi-step reasoning tasks that ask your child to explain their work.
