These worksheets make learning easier by giving simple examples and practice questions that improve both accuracy and confidence.
All the worksheets are carefully created based on the CBSE syllabus for Class 4 Maths. Practising these questions regularly helps children prepare better for school exams and strengthens their understanding of the number system.
Parents and teachers can also use these worksheets as extra practice material at home or in the classroom. At CBSEClassWorksheets.com, every worksheet is available in PDF format for easy download and comes with answers so children can check their work and learn from mistakes.
Let’s explore some important topics from the Class 4 number system worksheet.
Numbers Beyond 9999
Numbers greater than 9,999 are called large numbers. In Class 4, children learn to read and write numbers up to six digits.
Examples
- 12,345 → Twelve thousand three hundred forty-five
- 45,678 → Forty-five thousand six hundred seventy-eight
- 89,999 → Eighty-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine
These numbers help children understand how numbers grow beyond four digits.
Six Digit Numbers
A six-digit number has digits from the ones place to the hundred-thousands place.
Examples
- 1,25,678 → One lakh twenty-five thousand six hundred seventy-eight
- 3,45,210 → Three lakh forty-five thousand two hundred ten
- 9,99,999 → Nine lakh ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine
The smallest six-digit number is 1,00,000, and the largest six-digit number is 9,99,999.
Periods
In the Indian number system, digits are grouped into periods using commas to make large numbers easier to read.
The three main periods are:
- Ones Period
- Thousands Period
- Lakhs Period
Examples
- 4,56,321
- 7,89,654
- 1,25,430
These commas help us read numbers correctly.
Indian Place Value Chart
The Indian Place Value Chart helps us understand the position of each digit in a number.
Examples
- 3,45,678
- 7,20,451
- 5,10,230
Each digit changes value depending on its place.
Face Value & Place Value
- Face Value: The actual digit itself.
- Place Value: The value of the digit based on its position.
Examples
- In 45,678, digit 5
- Face value = 5
- Place value = 5,000
- In 3,26,419, digit 2
- Face value = 2
- Place value = 20,000
- In 7,81,245, digit 8
- Face value = 8
- Place value = 80,000
Expanded Form & Standard Form
Expanded form shows a number as the sum of its place values.
Examples
- 45,678
= 40,000 + 5,000 + 600 + 70 + 8 - 2,34,567
= 2,00,000 + 30,000 + 4,000 + 500 + 60 + 7 - 1,20,345
= 1,00,000 + 20,000 + 300 + 40 + 5
Standard form means writing the number in normal digit form – Ex: 24, 779
Comparing Large Numbers
When two numbers have different number of digits, the number with less number of digits is always less than the number with more number of digit.
Example: 4560 < 11,390
When the two numbers have the same number of digits, we check the digits from left to right. First compare the digits in lakhs place, then compare the digits in ten thousands place, then compare the digits in thousands place and so on till units place.
Examples
- 4,56,789 > 4,12,345
- 3,25,678 < 3,45,210
- 9,10,234 > 8,99,999
The number with the larger digit in the highest place is greater.
Ascending & Descending Order
Ascending order means from smallest to greatest.
Descending order means from greatest to smallest.
Examples
Ascending order:
- 23,456, 34,567, 45,678
- 1,25,430, 2,34,567, 3,21,456
- 5,10,230, 6,21,345, 7,89,654
Descending order:
- 45,678, 34,567, 23,456
- 3,21,456, 2,34,567, 1,25,430
- 7,89,654, 6,21,345, 5,10,230
Successor & Predecessor
Successor: number that comes after a number. Successor of a number = number + 1
Predecessor: number that comes before a number. Predecessor of a number = number −1
Examples
- Successor of 45,678 → 45,679
- Predecessor of 1,00,000 → 99,999
- Successor of 2,45,999 → 2,46,000
Building Numbers
Sometimes we create numbers using given digits by arranging digits.
Examples
Digits: 3, 5, 7, 9
- Largest number → 9,753
- Smallest number → 3,579
- Another number → 7,953
This helps children understand digit arrangement.
Rounding Numbers
Rounding Off to nearest 10
To round a number to the nearest 10, look at the ones digit. If it is 5 or more, round up to the next ten; if it is 4 or less, round down to the previous ten.
Examples:
- 67 → 70
- 124 → 120
- 539 → 540
Rounding Off to nearest 100
To round a number to the nearest 100, check the tens digit. If the tens digit is 5 or more, round up to the next hundred; if it is 4 or less, round down.
Examples:
- 456 → 500
- 1,245 → 1,200
- 3,678 → 3,700
Rounding to nearest 1000
To round a number to the nearest 1000, look at the hundreds digit. If the hundreds digit is 5 or more, round up to the next thousand; if it is 4 or less, round down.
Examples:
- 4,567 → 5,000
- 12,345 → 12,000
- 8,789 → 9,000
These concepts are commonly practised in large numbers worksheet for class 4 and help students improve estimation skills.
