Sure! Here are some word problems involving the four operations suitable for grade 4 pupils:

1. Maria has 36 marbles. She wants to divide them equally among her 4 friends. How many marbles will
each friend get?

Solution: To solve this problem, we need to divide the total number of marbles by the number of
friends. So, 36 divided by 4 equals 9. Therefore, each friend will get 9 marbles.

2. The school has 245 books in the library. If they want to put them in shelves with 35 books each, how
many shelves do they need?

Solution: To solve this problem, we need to divide the total number of books by the number of books
that can fit in each shelf. So, 245 divided by 35 equals 7. Therefore, they need 7 shelves.

3. There are 52 students in a class. If the teacher divides them into 4 equal groups, how many students
will be in each group?

Solution: To solve this problem, we need to divide the total number of students by the number of
groups. So, 52 divided by 4 equals 13. Therefore, there will be 13 students in each group.

4. A bakery sold 182 cupcakes on Monday, 168 cupcakes on Tuesday, and 197 cupcakes on Wednesday.
How many cupcakes did they sell in total for those three days?

Solution: To solve this problem, we need to add the number of cupcakes sold on each day. So, 182 + 168
+ 197 equals 547. Therefore, they sold 547 cupcakes in total for those three days.

Sure, here are some word problems involving more than one operation:
1. John has $40. He wants to buy a toy that costs $25 and a book that costs $12. How much money will
he have left after buying both?

Solution: To solve this problem, we need to subtract the total cost of the toy and the book from the
amount of money John has. So, 40 - 25 - 12 equals $3. Therefore, he will have $3 left.

2. A farmer has 24 cows. He wants to put them in equal-sized pens. Each pen can hold 6 cows. How
many pens will he need, and how many cows will be left out?

Solution: To solve this problem, we need to divide the total number of cows by the number of cows that
can fit in each pen. So, 24 divided by 6 equals 4. Therefore, he will need 4 pens. However, 24 is not
evenly divisible by 6, so there will be some cows left out. To find out how many, we need to subtract the
total number of cows in the pens from the total number of cows. So, 4 x 6 equals 24, which means there
will be no cows left out.

3. A class has 30 students. The teacher gives each student 3 pencils and 2 erasers. How many pencils and
erasers does the teacher give out in total?

Solution: To solve this problem, we need to multiply the number of students by the number of pencils
and erasers each student gets, and then add the results. So, 30 x (3 + 2) equals 150. Therefore, the
teacher gives out 150 pencils and erasers in total.

4. A recipe calls for 3 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of butter. If the recipe is doubled, how
much of each ingredient will be needed?

Solution: To solve this problem, we need to multiply each ingredient by 2. So, 3 x 2 equals 6 cups of
flour, 1 x 2 equals 2 cups of sugar, and 1/2 x 2 equals 1 cup of butter. Therefore, if the recipe is doubled,
we will need 6 cups of flour, 2 cups of sugar, and 1 cup of butter.
