About this resource
Description
A digit’s value depends entirely on where it sits. The 4 in 48,205 is not worth four, and it is not worth four thousand either — it is in the ten-thousands place, so it is worth 40,000. This ten thousands place value worksheet keeps the focus on that one column of a six-digit number, because it is the place fourth graders most often misread once numbers grow past four digits and the commas start doing real work.
A labelled place-value chart opens the page with 485,301 spread across its six columns and the ten-thousands column shaded, so the rule is visible before any question is asked. Six numbers follow, and the student writes the value of the digit in that place for each one — including a number whose ten-thousands digit is zero, which is the item that separates reading a position from copying a digit. Three number words then have to be written in standard form, and the page closes with a short explanation item where a classmate’s mistake has to be named in a full sentence.
What’s Included
- A printable page with ten place-value items, plus a matching answer key
- A labelled place-value chart to hundred thousands, with the ten-thousands column highlighted
- Six numbers whose ten-thousands digit value must be written
- Three number words to convert into standard form
- One written-explanation item for constructed-response practice
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- Writing the value rather than circling the digit forces the student to say what the position is actually worth.
- Including a zero in the target place tests whether the child is reading the position or just grabbing a digit.
- The explanation item asks for reasoning in words, which is the form most state assessments use for place value.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this 4th grade place value worksheet as a diagnostic before a rounding or comparing unit, since both depend on reading positions correctly. Ask students to point at the chart and name the column before they write anything, then have them read each number aloud with the comma as the word “thousand”. At home, read six-digit numbers off a receipt or an odometer and ask what the ten-thousands digit is worth. The ten thousands place value worksheet also works as a quick review station, with the key on the back for self-checking.
