Every sheet of 4th grade place value worksheets on this page is built the moment you open it, so the 20 problems below are not the same ones the last visitor printed, and the answer key is generated with them. The current sheet starts with problems like “In 644,092, the digit in the hundreds place is □” and “In 653,068, the digit in the hundred thousands place is □”, and the answers (0 and 6) are printed on the key so marking takes about a minute.
‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.
Nearly every later arithmetic error traces back to place value: misaligned columns, a lost zero, a decimal point in the wrong slot. Ten minutes a day here quietly fixes problems that look like they belong to other topics.
Because the sheet regenerates, the same place is not asked about twice in a row, so the child has to locate the position each time rather than remember where it was on the last sheet, which uses six-digit numbers, and a typical line looks like “In 791,994, the digit in the hundred thousands place is □”.
Reading a number aloud correctly is half the skill. Children who say the digits one by one rather than naming the whole number usually cannot answer “In 653,068, the digit in the hundred thousands place is □” without recounting.
Notice that zeros are included deliberately. A zero holding a place is the concept most often missed, and it is why a question like “In 655,159, the digit in the thousands place is □” catches children who are counting positions by eye.
Teachers usually place 4th grade place value worksheets alongside the number and operations in base ten strand for this grade, which is where the skill sits in the majority of US state frameworks.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | In 644,092, the digit in the hundreds place is □ | 0 | Watch for: skipping the zero |
| 2 | In 653,068, the digit in the hundred thousands place is □ | 6 | Check: losing track in long numbers |
| 3 | In 974,855, the digit in the hundreds place is □ | 8 | Look at: reading a comma as a decimal point |
| 4 | In 655,159, the digit in the thousands place is □ | 5 | Ask about: mixing up tens and ones vocabulary |
| 5 | In 791,994, the digit in the hundred thousands place is □ | 7 | Watch for: confusing the digit with its value |
| 6 | In 714,158, the digit in the ten thousands place is □ | 1 | Check: counting from the wrong end |
The item “In 653,068, the digit in the hundred thousands place is □” is worth doing slowly. The answer to “In 653,068, the digit in the hundred thousands place is □” is 6, and the route to it is the route every other problem on this sheet takes — which is why the sheet has 20 of them rather than one.
A good first problem to do together is “In 644,092, the digit in the hundreds place is □”, which comes out at 0. Do “In 644,092, the digit in the hundreds place is □” once with the child narrating, then hand over the pencil and start the clock on the other 20 problems.
The answer key is generated with the worksheet, not written by hand, so it always matches the sheet in front of you — “In 644,092, the digit in the hundreds place is □” is listed as 0, “In 653,068, the digit in the hundred thousands place is □” as 6, and so on down the page.
Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like “In 653,068, the digit in the hundred thousands place is □” can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.
To save these 4th grade place value worksheets instead of printing them, choose 'Save as PDF' in the printer list. You get the worksheet and the answer key as a single PDF, on Letter or A4 depending on your printer settings.
Printing works the same on US Letter and A4, because the layout uses relative widths rather than fixed inches. Set margins to default and scaling to 100%, and all 20 problems fit.
