When I was teaching in a public school in the 90s, we would have expected our kids to know this in 4th grade, at least.

No kidding. Back in the 60's, the Nuns were drilling this kind of stuff as early as 2nd grade. But then they didn't care if our feelings were hurt when we made a mistake. I guess we're all damaged goods now.

Exactly. I remember taking tests like this in grade school in the seventies. I would have aced it in the 3rd or 4th grade. Anyone still struggling with tests like these in my middle school would have been placed in remedial classes
