Talk to her teacher if you need ideas of where to start. I'd hope her teacher would be willing to tell you where she's struggling and what she definitely should know before 4th grade. (the only thing, btw, that my kids are having pushed on them for 4th is multiplication tables).

I'm going to repeat, curriculum is already failing her. You are most likely going to need to take a different approach in order to catch her up and give her some confidence so she can apply what she knows to the curriculum next year.

I can tell you're really unsure of yourself, see if her teacher can give you any direction. I think the hands on might help you more than anything else. They may also have resources you can use at home over the summer that will be in line with what the school used in 3rd and will use in 4th.
Well, they are already out of school for the summer. Friday was their last day. I don't know that her teacher will be there next week, but I will call and give it a shot.
