About this resource

Description

Place value is the idea that a digit’s position decides its worth: the 4 in 46,821 is not four, it is forty thousand. Fourth graders who miss that one idea will misread every large number they meet for the rest of the year, so it is worth slowing down on. This place value review worksheet walks through six-digit numbers one position at a time, asking students to find the ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands and hundred thousands place in numbers drawn from across that whole range.

Part A gives nine numbers, each with a place value named beneath it, and asks students to circle the digit that sits in that position. Every digit is printed in an equal-width column, so a student cannot spot the answer by looking – they have to count the places, which is the point. Part B turns this multi-digit place value worksheet into thinking work: students write 342,706 in expanded form, then read a classmate’s claim about the value of a digit, explain the mistake, and write the correct value. That error-analysis item is the one that reveals whether a child truly understands position or has just been pattern-matching.

What’s Included

  • 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
  • Answer key
  • 9 circle-the-digit items across five- and six-digit numbers
  • 1 expanded-form item
  • 1 error-analysis item with room to explain in writing

Three things make this place value review worksheet worth assigning. First, the nine items sweep every position from ones to hundred thousands rather than drilling one column, so a student cannot coast on a single habit. Second, the numbers are printed in a true place-value grid with commas where they belong, which trains the eye to group digits in threes – the skill that makes reading a large number out loud possible. Third, the written section asks for a reason, not just an answer, and the key models the sentence a fourth grader should be able to write.

For extra practice, call out a six-digit number and have students write it, then ask for the value of one digit at a time. Roll dice to build a random number and race to say it aloud. Newspaper headlines, sports attendance figures and city populations are full of large numbers worth stopping on – ask what the leading digit is really worth. A pocket place-value chart taped inside a math notebook turns every one of those moments into a quick check.
