Free P4 Maths paper: Tables, line graphs and pie charts
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 tables, line graphs and pie charts; 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.
What is in the paper
| Questions | Marks | Calculator | Time | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paper 1 multiple choice, then short answers | 30 | 50 | No | 1 h 10 min |
| Paper 2 short answers, then structured questions | 15 | 50 | No | 1 h 20 min |
The focus: 29 marks on tables, line graphs and pie charts, across both papers, from one-mark multiple choice to a five-mark final question. Also in the paper: Whole numbers, Angles, Fractions, Decimals, Symmetry, Measurement, Area and perimeter, Nets and solids.
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 tables, graphs and pie charts
Tables, line graphs and pie charts are read before anything is worked out. The marks go on the value of each division on the scale, on the greatest change being between two points rather than at the highest point, and on reading a pie chart's part as a fraction of the whole.
The mistakes this paper looks for
- Reading every division as 1 when each is worth 5 or 10
- Taking the highest point as the greatest increase
- Reading a pie chart's part as the amount instead of a fraction of the total

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.
