What’s Included in This 4th Grade Math Unit

This unit offers the perfect blend of structured lessons and creative practice activities to make large number concepts easy and fun for every learner.

Mini-Lesson:
A ready-to-use notebook page that introduces the meaning of each place value up to one million. Students glue it into their math notebooks as a yearlong reference for understanding base-ten relationships.

Worksheets (10 total):
Students practice converting and comparing numbers across multiple forms, including:

  • Standard form

  • Word form

  • Expanded form

  • Comparing and ordering large numbers up to one million

Emoji Math Sort:
Students decide if each answer is correct or incorrect by marking it with a happy or frown emoji. This error analysis task makes reviewing large number relationships fun and interactive.


Hands-On Place Value Activities

Ninja Place Value:
Students analyze ninja cards to determine who represented their number correctly. They identify errors using word form, expanded form, and standard form to reinforce conceptual understanding.

Tennis Pros:
Students match four corresponding cards (player, court, tennis ball, and trophy) that represent the same number in different forms — standard, word, expanded, and place value blocks.

Abacus Matching:
Students match each abacus to the correct number, strengthening visual understanding of how digits represent value in each column.

“Fill It In” Thinking Activity:
Students decode mystery numbers by reading clues written in expanded form, then reconstruct them in standard form within place value columns.


Game #1: Racing Game – Line Them Up!

Students race in teams to correctly arrange number cards in order from smallest to largest. Two versions included: comparing numbers up to one million and converting between expanded and standard form.

Game #2: Build a Football Field

Each correct answer helps students earn pieces to complete their football field! Chance cards keep gameplay unpredictable and exciting while reviewing expanded and standard forms.

Game #3: Build a Spring Day

Students compete to fill their spring scene by comparing large numbers. The first player to earn all 10 pieces wins — a great small-group or partner activity.

Game #4: Whole-Class Game – Bucket Filler!

Students solve task cards around the classroom focused on place value and comparing numbers. Correct answers get added to the classroom “bucket,” and winners are randomly selected for prizes at the end!

All games are provided in color and black-and-white versions for flexible printing and easy prep.
