What kids practice
Place value is what a digit is worth because of where it sits. In 482,615 the 8 is worth 80,000 and the 6 is worth 600. Fourth graders read, write, compare and round numbers up to one million, and learn that each place is worth 10 times the place to its right. Commas split big numbers into periods of three digits, which makes them easier to read.
Watch for
- Reading the digit instead of its value, like saying the 8 in 482,615 is worth 8.
- Forgetting zeros in word and expanded form, like writing 405,020 as 45,020.
- Comparing big numbers by the first digit only when the numbers have a different number of digits.
- Rounding to the wrong place, or changing digits to the left of the rounding place.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full place value to 1,000,000 guide for 4th grade.
