About the NC EOG Grade 4 Math Test

Grade 4 math on the NC EOG is where multi-digit operations and fractions take center stage: Number & Operations in Base Ten (~25-29%) and Number & Operations—Fractions (~30-34%) together make up close to two-thirds of the test. The year's biggest skills are multi-digit multiplication and long division, and a deeper treatment of fractions — equivalence, comparison, and adding/subtracting with like denominators.

North Carolina reports four achievement levels (Not Proficient, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5); "on grade level" is Grade Level Proficient (GLP), Level 3 or above. In 2025-26, 61.1% of NC fourth graders were grade-level proficient in math.

The EOG math test has a calculator-inactive and a calculator-active section (four-function at grade 4), given online via NCTest.

61%% Grade Level Proficient (Grade 4 Math, 2025-26)

Grade Level Proficient (GLP) = Level 3+ = on grade level. Level 4+ = College-and-Career Ready. Scores below Level 3 are reported as Not Proficient.

What's On The NC EOG Grade 4 Math Test

Grade 4 math on the NC EOG is organized into reporting categories from the NC Standard Course of Study, with fractions and multi-digit operations carrying the most weight. The percentage ranges are from NCDPI's published test specifications.

Reporting CategoryWhat's Tested
Number & Operations — Fractions (~30-34%)The largest category: equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, and adding/subtracting with like denominators. The year fractions deepen.
Number & Operations in Base Ten (~25-29%)Multi-digit multiplication and long division, and place value into larger numbers.
Measurement & Data / Geometry (~23-27%)Area and perimeter, angles, lines and symmetry, and interpreting data.
Operations & Algebraic Thinking (~14-18%)Multi-step word problems and generating and analyzing patterns.

Test Format — What Your Child Will See

Items
40 operational items — 20 calculator-inactive and 20 calculator-active.
Time Limit
NCDPI estimates about two hours (120 minutes) for most students; the maximum is three hours (180 minutes) unless a student has an approved extended-time accommodation.
Sessions
Two sections: calculator-inactive, then calculator-active.
Calculator

  • ●Fractions and multi-digit operations are ~two-thirds of the grade-4 test.
  • ●Calculator-inactive + calculator-active sections.
  • ●"On grade level" = Grade Level Proficient (Level 3+).

What North Carolina Parents Should Know About Grade 4 Math

  1. 1

    Go deep on fractions — the biggest grade-4 category. Equivalence, comparison, and adding/subtracting with like denominators are where the year is won or lost.

  2. 2

    Drill multi-digit multiplication and long division, done by hand for the calculator-inactive section.

  3. 3

    Practice with and without a calculator to match the two-section design.

  4. 4

    Aim for Level 3+ (Grade Level Proficient); Level 4+ is College-and-Career Ready.
