Free P4 Maths paper: Decimals: money and measurement
A full Paper 1 and Paper 2 at the level of a very hard P4 end-of-year paper, in the PSLE format, for Singapore P4 pupils. 29 of the 100 marks are on decimals: money and measurement; the rest cover the other P4 topics, as a real paper does.
Free. No sign-up to start. Untimed, like homework, and your answers save as you type. No calculator in either paper, as P4 pupils do not use one. Paper 2 follows Paper 1. The score shows the moment Paper 2 is handed in, and a parent can unlock the full diagnosis and have it emailed.

Timing is up to you. Sit it in one go against the PSLE times for exam practice, or spread it over a few evenings as homework is.
Where the marks go in decimals
Decimals in P4 are mostly money and measurement: comparing, rounding, and multiplying or dividing by one digit. The traps are the zeros and the places: 2.05 kg is not 2.5 kg, and 0.5 is more than 0.45.
The mistakes this paper looks for
- Taking the decimal with more digits to be the larger one
- Writing 2 kg 50 g as 2.5 kg
- Rounding the parts before working instead of rounding the answer
Try a question from this paper
Paper 1, Question 11 (2 marks). Jun drank 11/20 ℓ of water. Hui Min drank 0.57 ℓ of water. Ethan drank 0.3 ℓ less water than Jun and Hui Min together. How much water did Ethan drink?
- 0.382 ℓ
- 1.12 ℓ
- 1.42 ℓ
- 0.82 ℓ
Show the answer
(4) 0.82 ℓ
11/20 = 55/100 = 0.55
Jun and Hui Min: 0.55 + 0.57 = 1.12 ℓ
Ethan: 1.12 − 0.3 = 0.82 ℓ

Planning ahead for P5 and P6?
Wei Jie's crash courses start in the November before P6, the year of the PSLE, so there is no course for P4 yet. Until then, the free P5 papers are the next step up, and questions are welcome on WhatsApp.
