Comparing Multi-Digit Numbers is a Grade 4 math worksheet that helps students compare numbers using the greater-than (>) and less-than (<) symbols. Students work through nine multiple-choice questions and one multiple-select question involving six-digit numbers, expanded notation, equality, and real-world situations such as zoo attendance, pet-store sales, and school fundraising. The worksheet also includes a brief self-assessment item about students’ confidence with the skill. This free printable worksheet gives students practice comparing numbers by examining place value and interpreting comparison statements in context. Several items require students to connect standard form with expanded form, identify which quantity is greater or less, and select all statements that are correct. It is suitable for Grade 4 math practice, independent work, review, or a quick formative check, and it includes a complete answer key for efficient checking.

This Grade 4 math worksheet helps students compare multi-digit numbers using >, <, and =, including numbers written in standard and expanded form. Its nine multiple-choice and one multiple-select item require students to identify greater or lesser values, recognize equality, and apply comparisons to contexts such as attendance, sales, and fundraising.
Introduce the worksheet by modeling comparison from the greatest place value to the least place value, then connect an expanded-form example to its standard-form number. Have students explain why each symbol makes a statement true before completing the contextual items about visitors, food bags, and school fundraising. Use the multiple-select question to discuss why several statements can be correct at once.
Watch for students choosing a symbol without checking the place value where the numbers first differ, especially when comparing close six-digit values. Students may also misread expanded notation, reverse the greater-than and less-than symbols, or select only one correct statement in the multiple-select item. In the word problems, check that they identify both the correct comparison and the year or month with the greater or lesser amount.
