Grade 4 Place Value Drill

What this worksheet covers

This is a 30-problem drill for grade 4 place value, printed in black and white with the key on page two. Within that, every problem is set in a short situation, so the first decision is which operation it calls for and the numbers run as high as 996,740. Problems 11 and 21, for instance, are "Round 854,917 to the nearest thousand." and "Round 793,547 to the nearest ten.". The sheet sits inside Common Core 4.NBT.3, in the grade 4 Number & Operations in Base Ten strand.

Skills practised

At grade 4, place value is about rounding multi-digit numbers to any place and the value of each digit to the hundred thousands, and this sheet takes one slice of that. What a student is asked to do here is rounding multi-digit numbers to any place and the value of a digit in a large number. To finish it, a student has to read a situation and choose an operation before computing. 28 different answers appear across the 30 problems, so a student cannot copy one result down the page.

About the drill format

A drill is straight practice: 30 problems of the same kind, laid out one to a line with working space under each — problem 11, "Round 854,917 to the nearest thousand." is typical of the whole page. Repeating one question shape — which digit, what value, round to which place — is how the vocabulary of place value becomes automatic.

Set A, Set B and Set C

All three sets are produced by the site's deterministic generator from a fixed seed, so they are the same every time the site is built and the answer keys are exact. Where Set A's problem 16 is "What is the value of the 8 in 414,518?", Set B's is "What is the value of the 7 in 437,074?".

How to use this worksheet

Give this drill uninterrupted. At grade 4, place value is where procedure and recall have to run at the same time, and 30 problems done in fragments hide which of the two is the problem. Print Set B of this place value drill before writing on Set A; the same skill worked twice a week apart tells you far more than once.
