Multi-Digit Numbers Worksheets for 4th Grade
Recognize and write numbers up to one million.
About Multi-Digit Numbers
Place value is the idea that a digit's value depends on its position within a number. The "3" in 30 is worth ten times more than the "3" in 3. This concept is the backbone of our entire number system and is essential for understanding how multi-digit numbers work.
Understanding multi-digit numbers is the gateway to all 4th grade computation. Students who can fluently read and build numbers up to a million can tackle addition, subtraction, and multiplication of large numbers with confidence.
What Your Child Will Learn
- Read and write numbers up to one million in standard, word, and expanded form
- Identify the value of any digit based on its position
- Build and decompose multi-digit numbers using place value understanding
- Recognize how a digit's value changes when it shifts one place to the left or right
- Compare multi-digit numbers by analyzing each place value from left to right

Tips for Parents & Teachers
Use physical bundles: group 10 pennies, straws, or blocks together and call them "one ten." Then show 3 tens and 4 ones to represent 34.
Play "build the number" — say a number and have your child show it with tens and ones using objects or drawings.
When your child sees a two-digit number, ask: "How many tens? How many ones?" until it becomes automatic.
Connect to money: a dime is worth 10 pennies, which is a perfect real-world model of tens and ones.
