4th Grade - Find Someone Who | Back to School Math Review This back to school math review activity gets 4th grade students engaged with their new classmates while reviewing key skills from the previous year. Students are given a worksheet with 16 mixed math questions spanning skills like measurement, fractions, geometry, multiplication, and more. They must find a classmate who can solve each problem correctly, then have them initial the worksheet to confirm. With two versions included, students can swap sheets halfway through for even more variety. This collaborative game format makes assessment feel more like fun than a test, while enabling teachers to informally gauge which concepts need review as the year kicks off. Use it as a whole class icebreaker, station rotation, or even homework assignment for summer review. The answer key allows students to self-check their work, building accountability.
