1A maple syrup producer in Vermont gathered 8 buckets of sap on Monday. On Tuesday, he gathered 40 buckets of sap. How many times as many buckets of sap did he gather on Tuesday compared to Monday?
A.5 times
B.32 times
C.48 times
D.320 times
Explanation: To find how many times as many buckets were gathered on Tuesday, divide Tuesday's total by Monday's total: 40 ÷ 8 = 5. So 40 is 5 times as many as 8.
2A hiking trail in the Green Mountains is 745 meters long. Another trail is 482 meters long. What is the total length of the two trails combined?
A.1,227 meters
B.1,237 meters
C.1,127 meters
D.263 meters
Explanation: To find the combined length, add the two distances: 745 + 482. Ones: 5 + 2 = 7. Tens: 4 + 8 = 12 (write 2, carry 1). Hundreds: 1 + 7 + 4 = 12. The sum is 1,227 meters.
3The population of a town in Vermont is 64,829. What is the value of the digit 4 in this number?
A.4,000
B.400
C.40,000
D.4
Explanation: In the number 64,829, the digit 4 sits in the thousands place. Its value is 4 × 1,000 = 4,000.
4In one season, an orchard in Burlington picked 18,462 apples. What is 18,462 rounded to the nearest thousand?
A.18,000
B.18,500
C.19,000
D.18,400
Explanation: To round 18,462 to the nearest thousand, look at the hundreds digit (4). Since 4 is less than 5, round down to 18,000.
5Which fraction is equivalent to 3/4?
A.6/8
B.3/8
C.4/3
D.6/4
Explanation: Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of 3/4 by the same number, 2: (3 × 2)/(4 × 2) = 6/8. Because you scaled both parts equally, the value is unchanged, so 3/4 = 6/8.
6Two students each start with an identical granola bar divided into 8 equal pieces. Which comparison statement about the amounts they eat is true?
A.5/8 > 3/8
B.2/8 > 5/8
C.3/8 = 5/8
D.1/8 > 3/8
Explanation: When fractions have the same denominator the pieces are the same size, so just compare the numerators — how many pieces each student ate. Since 5 pieces is more than 3 pieces, 5/8 > 3/8.
7Maya drank 2/6 of a bottle of apple cider in the morning and 3/6 of the bottle in the afternoon. What fraction of the bottle did she drink in total?
A.5/6
B.5/12
C.1/6
D.6/6
Explanation: To add fractions with like denominators, add the numerators and keep the denominator the same: 2/6 + 3/6 = (2 + 3)/6 = 5/6. The sixths are equal-sized pieces, so you are simply counting how many she drank in total.
8What is 2 1/4 written as an improper fraction?
A.9/4
B.7/4
C.3/4
D.8/4
Explanation: To convert 2 1/4 to an improper fraction, multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator: ((2 × 4) + 1)/4 = (8 + 1)/4 = 9/4. The two wholes are worth 8 quarters, plus the extra quarter makes 9.
9Which decimal is equivalent to the fraction 7/10?
A.0.7
B.0.07
C.7.0
D.0.77
Explanation: The fraction 7/10 represents seven tenths. The first place to the right of the decimal point is the tenths place, so seven tenths is written 0.7.
10A wooden plank for a bridge in Montpelier is 4 meters long. How many centimeters long is the plank?
A.400 cm
B.40 cm
C.4,000 cm
D.100 cm
Explanation: Converting from a larger unit to a smaller unit means multiplying. Since 1 meter = 100 centimeters, multiply 4 by 100: 4 × 100 = 400 centimeters.

About the VTCAP Grade 4 Math Exam

Statewide assessment for Vermont Grade 4 public school students evaluating mathematical proficiency across multi-digit computation, fraction equivalence and operations, decimal concepts, measurement conversion, perimeter and area, angle measurement, and geometric classification.

Assessment

The official VTCAP Grade 4 mathematics test is computer-adaptive and reports three content indicators — Operations and Algebraic Thinking; Number and Operations in Base Ten with Fractions; Measurement and Data with Geometry — plus two Mathematical Practices indicators. It is delivered in two sessions and includes four human-scored constructed responses. Our practice bank provides 100 multiple-choice items at easy (30%), medium (50%) and hard (20%) difficulty; it does not reproduce the adaptive engine, equation-entry items, or the constructed-response tasks.

Time Limit

Untimed; scheduling estimate is two sessions totalling about 110-120 minutes

Passing Score

Not pass/fail. Grade 4 mathematics scale score ranges are Level 1 (1500-1663), Level 2 (1664-1749), Level 3 (1750-1866) and Level 4 (1867-2000); 1750 and above (Level 3+) indicates grade-level proficiency.

Exam Fee

No individual candidate fee; funded by the state of Vermont. (Vermont Agency of Education (AOE) & Cognia)
