About the SD Math Grade 4 Exam
The South Dakota Mathematics Assessment for Grade 4 is the state's annual summative assessment measuring 4th-grade students' mastery of South Dakota Content Standards in Mathematics. Administered online via the Smarter Balanced computer-adaptive system, the assessment tests multiplicative comparisons, factors/multiples, multi-digit multiplication & division, fraction equivalence, fraction addition/subtraction, decimal notation (tenths/hundredths), unit conversions, area/perimeter formulas, and angle measurement. Please note: This 100-question practice bank is an English-language multiple-choice question (MCQ) study adaptation created by OpenExamPrep to help 4th-grade students practice core math standards in an accessible study format.
Exam sponsor: South Dakota Department of Education (SD DOE). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.
Assessment
Two components: a computer-adaptive test (CAT) and one performance task (PT) containing 4-6 items.
Time Limit
Untimed. SD DOE's published estimate is 1 hour 30 minutes for the CAT plus 1 hour for the performance task (about 2 hours 30 minutes total), taken during the spring window.
Passing Score
No pass/fail score. Four achievement levels are reported: Level 1 (standard not met), Level 2 (nearly met), Level 3 (met - the state proficiency benchmark), and Level 4 (exceeded).
Fees, eligibility, and exam policies can change. Confirm them with the exam sponsor before applying or paying.

Concepts and Procedures (Claim 1)
17-20 items per form in grades 3-5, covering grade 4 priority and supporting clusters: multiplicative comparison, remainders in multi-step problems, factor pairs and primes, multi-digit algorithms, fraction equivalence and operations, decimal notation, unit conversion, area and perimeter, line plots, angles, and symmetry.
Problem Solving, Modeling and Data Analysis (Claims 2 and 4)
8-10 items, reported as a single subscore. Six computer-adaptive items plus 2-4 performance-task items applying grade 4 mathematics to real-world situations.
Communicating Reasoning (Claim 3)
8-10 items in which students justify conclusions and critique reasoning. At least two computer-adaptive items are written at Depth of Knowledge 3 or higher.
