Ages 9-10
Best 4th Grade Homeschool Curriculum (2026)
4th grade is upper-elementary: long-division math, multi-paragraph writing, and the first taste of formal logic. State testing also tends to begin at this grade in many homeschool tracking arrangements.
If you only read one paragraph
Saxon 5/4 or Math-U-See Delta for math, AAS Level 3/4 for spelling, Apologia Land Animals for science, Story of the World Vol. 3 (Early Modern) for history.
