About this resource
Description
Place value is the idea that where a digit sits inside a number decides what that digit is worth. A 4 in the tens place is worth 40, while the very same 4 in the ten thousands place is worth 40,000. This place value identification worksheet gives fourth graders focused practice naming the value of a single digit inside numbers that run all the way up to the millions, so the base-ten pattern becomes something students can see rather than something they try to memorize.
This 4th grade place value worksheet is organized into three short sections that build on one another. In Part A, students write the value of the circled digit in six multi-digit numbers. In Part B, they build four numbers in standard form from a list of place-value parts, including one that skips a place and one that reaches the millions. In Part C, they explain in their own words why 40,000 is ten times as many as 4,000. Print it for morning work, a math center, a quick check before a unit test, or homework a family can help with at the kitchen table.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 circled-digit items with numbers through the millions
- 4 build-the-number items in standard form
- 1 short constructed-response question on ten times as much
Three things make this place value identification worksheet worth the paper. First, it isolates one skill, so a student who mixes up hundreds and hundred thousands gets repeated practice on exactly that confusion instead of a page of mixed review. Second, it moves from reading a number to building one, which is the step most fourth graders skip and the one that shows up on every state assessment. Third, the last question asks for an explanation rather than an answer, so you can hear whether a student truly understands the ten-times relationship or is simply counting commas.
Away from the page, place value is easy to make physical. Call out a six-digit number, have students build it with base-ten blocks or digit cards, then ask what would change if two of the digits traded seats. Play a quick round of roll-and-place: students roll a number cube six times and drop each digit into a place-value chart, trying to make the largest number they can. Read big numbers aloud from a sports page, a museum sign, or a library catalog and ask which digit is doing the most work. Ten minutes of talking about numbers out loud does as much as a whole page of practice.
