Thousands, hundreds, tens and ones
In Class 4 the number world grows to four digits. The NCERT Math-Mela chapter for this is Ch 4 Thousands Around Us, where children read, write and compare numbers in the thousands. Almost every later topic, from 4-digit addition to multiplication, depends on getting this right. This worksheet stays on place value alone and uses four question styles:
- Fill in the blanks: place value and face value of a digit, expanded form (2,000 + 900 + 40 + 6), putting an expanded form back together, and writing a number name in figures.
- More blanks from Medium up: writing a number in words, comparing two numbers with >, < or =, "100 more than" or "1,000 more than" a number, and making the greatest or smallest number from four digits.
- Choose the correct answer: picking the right place value, or the right numeral for a number name.
- True or false checks and a match the columns set that pairs numbers with their expanded forms.
There are no pictures or word problems in this topic, so each sheet is quick to do and quick to mark.
Setting up the sheet
- Class 4, Maths and "Place value and number names" are already selected.
- Use Easy while the chapter is being taught. It sticks to place value, face value, expanded form and number names to figures.
- Move to Medium for revision. Hard draws from the same question kinds as Medium, so add more questions (20 or 25) when you want a longer test.
- Pick Sets A and B if two children are working side by side.
- Print with the answer key, or turn it off and keep a separate copy for marking.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Draw the place value chart. Four boxes headed Th, H, T, O on the top of the sheet help children who keep losing track of zeros.
- Zero is the usual trouble-maker. Numbers like 2,074 or 6,013 have an empty place. In expanded form, nothing is written for it; in figures, a 0 must hold the place. Point this out each time it comes up.
- Say the comma. In 4-digit numbers the comma comes after the thousands digit. Asking children to read "four thousand, one hundred fifty-two" with a small pause at the comma helps them place it.
- Use play money. Paper notes of ₹1,000, ₹100, ₹10 and ₹1, cut out at home, make place value very concrete. Ask your child to "pay" ₹2,946 using the fewest notes.
- Mark mistakes by type. After checking with the answer key, notice whether wrong answers are mostly face-versus-place value or mostly zeros. Then make the next sheet and focus your talk on that one idea.
To revise place value alongside sums, multiplication and fractions, use the Class 4 maths worksheet.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between place value and face value?
Face value is the digit itself. Place value is what that digit is worth where it stands. In 7,580 the face value of 5 is 5, but its place value is 500 because it is in the hundreds place. The sheet asks both, so children learn to tell them apart.
How do I explain expanded form to a Class 4 child?
Break the number into what each digit is worth and add them back. So 2,074 is 2,000 + 70 + 4, with nothing written for the zero in the hundreds place. Ask your child to read each part aloud, then add them to check they get the starting number.
How do you make the greatest 4-digit number from given digits?
Put the digits in order from biggest to smallest. With 1, 8, 3 and 5 the greatest number is 8,531, and the smallest is 1,358. These questions appear from Medium up and are a quick test of whether a child really understands places.
Why do children write 'one thousand eighty-five' as 1,85?
They are writing down only the parts they hear and forgetting that the hundreds place is empty. Show the number on a place value chart with columns for thousands, hundreds, tens and ones, and put a 0 under hundreds. The 'write in figures' questions on this sheet give regular practice.
