I am doing 4th grade number sense are there any cool math tricks or short cuts that would be good for me to know.

what kind of questions are you doing?
here is a neat one:
multiply any number by 11
e.g. 45821 x 11 = 504031
starting from the right, add up all the digits in the odd positions
1+0+0 = 1
now add up the ones in the even positions
3+4+5 = 12
What is the difference between them ?
I will always be a multiple of 11, that is, 11 22 33 etc
The difference could also be zero, zero is considered a multiple of 11.
