What 4th grade place value covers
The Common Core limits grade 4 to whole numbers up to 1,000,000 and sets three jobs: see that a digit is worth ten times what it would be one place to the right (its example is 700 ÷ 70 = 10), read, write and compare numbers, and round to any place. Texas goes on to 1,000,000,000.
Place value and rounding worksheets in one unit
Rounding is place value put to use, so teach them together. Open with Expanded form of 5-digit and 6-digit numbers. Move to Round 5-digit and 6-digit numbers to the nearest 1,000 once pupils can name the deciding digit.
Rounding 386,472 to the nearest 10,000 and writing 380,000 means the last digit decided. Have pupils underline the deciding digit.
Teach 10 × 4,305 = 43,050 as digits moving left. Adding a zero fails on decimals next year: 10 × 0.5 = 5.
Round once, from the original number: 3,446 → 3,450 → 3,500 is wrong, because 3,446 is nearer to 3,400.
Questions and answers
What place value do 4th graders learn?
Whole numbers to 1,000,000 under the Common Core. Fourth graders are usually 9 to 10 years old, which is Year 5 in England and Wales. They read, write, compare and round 6-digit numbers, and explain why 7,000 is ten times 700.
How do you round to any place?
Underline the place, look one digit to its right, and go up if that digit is 5 or more. With the thousands underlined, 274,816 → 275,000. The sheets here round to the nearest 1,000 and send a halfway number up.
What is the difference between place and value?
The place is where a digit sits and the value is what it is worth there. In 482,057 the 8 is in the ten thousands place and its value is 80,000. A pupil who answers 8 has given the digit, not the value.

Expanded form to 1,000,000 3
Expanded form back to a 6-digit number700,000 + 20,000 + 400 + 9 = 720,409. The sum has no thousands and no tens, so two zeros go into the number. The second half of the sheet prints the parts out of order, as in 9 + 400 + 700,000 + 20,000 = 720,409.
Expanded form of 5-digit and 6-digit numbers306,540 = 300,000 + 6,000 + 500 + 40. Pupils write one part for every digit that is not zero, largest first. The Common Core asks grade 4 to read and write multi-digit numbers in numerals, number names and expanded form (4.NBT.2), and this sheet is the expanded form part.
Find the missing part of a 6-digit numberIn 800,000 + ? + 5,000 + 300 + 60 + 2 for the number 815,362 the missing part is 10,000, because 800,000 + 10,000 + 5,000 + 300 + 60 + 2 = 815,362. One part is blank in each line. A pupil who answers 1 has the digit and not its value.

Ten times the place to its right 2
In and out tables: multiply and divide by 1043,050 ÷ 10 = 4,305. Each digit moves one place to the right, so it is worth one-tenth of what it was. Texas words the rule both ways in 4.2(A): ten times the place to the right and one-tenth of the place to the left. Each table has 5 rows, and some rows hide the In number.
Multiply by 10: every digit moves one place left4,305 × 10 = 43,050. Each digit moves one place to the left and a zero fills the ones place. Teach the move and not a rule about adding a zero, because that rule breaks on decimals next year: 10 × 0.5 = 5.
Compare, order, more and less to 1,000,000 3
1,000 more and 1,000 less to 1,000,000386,472 + 1,000 = 387,472, and only the thousands digit changes. 386,472 − 1,000 = 385,472. When the thousands digit is a 9 the change runs to the left, as in 399,472 + 1,000 = 400,472. Pupils read the sign first, then work each line in their head.
Compare 6-digit numbers with <, > and =305,718 < 350,178. Both have 3 hundred thousands, so look at the ten thousands: 0 is less than 5, and the digits after that do not matter. Pairs use the same digits in a different order or differ in one place, and about 1 pair in 10 is equal.
Order four numbers to 1,000,000From least to greatest: 64,210 < 462,100 < 604,021 < 640,120. Sort by the number of digits first, then line the rest up by place and compare from the left. Half the lines ask for greatest to least.
Round to the nearest 1,000 1
Round 5-digit and 6-digit numbers to the nearest 1,00046,725 → 47,000. The digit to the right of the thousands place is 7, which is 5 or more, so 46 thousands become 47 thousands and every digit after turns to zero. 46,275 → 46,000, because a 2 sits in the hundreds place.
Between which two thousands 1
Between which two thousands? 5-digit and 6-digit numbers46,000 < 46,725 < 47,000, and 386,000 < 386,472 < 387,000. Pupils write the thousand below and the thousand above, then circle the nearer one. Texas describes rounding this way from grade 3, as finding the two consecutive multiples a number lies between (3.2(C)). No number on the sheet is exactly halfway.
Estimate with rounding 1
Round to the nearest 1,000 to estimate a sum or difference46,725 + 31,280 = 78,005. Round each number to the nearest 1,000 first and the estimate is 47,000 + 31,000 = 78,000, close enough to catch a slip of a whole place. The Common Core asks for this check in 4.OA.3, and Texas names rounding to the nearest 1,000 for it in 4.4(G). Pupils write the estimate, then the exact answer.
How this list was compiled: Sheet types, wording and worked examples are own work, written 2026-09-19, and every worked example was computed twice. Every sheet the tool makes today was printed on 2026-09-20 and read against its description. Standard numbers were read on 2026-09-19, and again on 2026-09-20, in the full text of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (https://learning.ccsso.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Math_Standards1.pdf : grade 4, 4.NBT.1 with its own example 700 ÷ 70 = 10, 4.NBT.2, 4.NBT.3, 4.NBT.4 and the note that limits grade 4 to whole numbers up to 1,000,000; 4.OA.3 for checking answers by estimation and rounding) and of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, 19 TAC chapter 111 (https://tea.texas.gov/sites/default/files/ch111a.pdf : grade 4, 4.2(A), 4.2(B), 4.2(C), 4.2(D) and 4.4(G); grade 3, 3.2(C)). Rounding ties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounding , read 2026-09-19 and, for the tie rule, again on 2026-09-20. Rounding a half away from zero, which for whole numbers above zero means a half goes up, is described there as commonly taught. Neither standards text states a tie rule. The standards are used as a checklist of number sizes and skills only. Licence: own work
