About this resource
Description
Comparing large numbers is a key place value skill, and it gets trickier when the numbers are not written the same way. This four digit more or less worksheet asks students to compare four-digit numbers written as numerals, in word form, and in expanded form, using the less than, greater than, and equal symbols.
This 4th grade comparing numbers worksheet has eight number cards. On each card, students read both numbers, change any word form or expanded form into a numeral in their heads or on scrap paper, and then write <, >, or = in the box. Some cards hide a trap, such as a zero in the hundreds place or an expanded form written out of order, so children must think about the value of every digit. Encourage students to underline the thousands digit first, then move right one place at a time until the digits differ.
What’s Included
- One printable four digit more or less worksheet with a Name and Date line
- Eight comparison cards using numerals, word form, and expanded form
- Two equal pairs so students practice the = symbol too
- A full answer key with every symbol filled in
3 Reasons This Worksheet Helps Kids
- It connects the three ways to write a number, which is exactly what 4.NBT.A.2 asks students to do.
- It builds careful place value reasoning instead of guessing from the first digit alone.
- It gives quick, focused practice that is easy to check with the answer key.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this page as a warm-up, a math center, or a homework review after a place value lesson. Ask students to rewrite every number in standard form beside its card before choosing the symbol, then talk about which cards were the hardest and why. For an extra challenge, have students write the word form or expanded form of the numerals on the sheet, or create two new cards for a partner to solve.
