Class 4 Maths - HARYANA
Thousands Around Us
The chapter Thousands Around Us in Class 4 Mathematics introduces students to 4-digit numbers beyond 999. Students learn to read, write, compare, and represent numbers up to 9999 using place value charts. They explore face value and place value of digits in thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones, along with expanding numbers and ordering them from smallest to largest and vice versa. This chapter lays the strong foundational base for large number arithmetic required in higher classes. For Haryana Board (BSEH) exams, this is a high-scoring chapter where students frequently encounter number naming, place value identification, and ordering questions.

Introduction to 4-Digit Numbers
When we add 1 to 999, we get 1000, which is the smallest 4-digit number. Numbers from 1000 to 9999 are called 4-digit numbers.
Place Value and Face Value
Face value is the digit itself, while place value depends on the position of the digit in the number (Th, H, T, O).
Expanded Form
Writing a number by showing the value of each digit according to its place value is called expanded form, like 4532 = 4000 + 500 + 30 + 2.
Comparing Numbers
To compare two 4-digit numbers, first compare the digits in the thousands place, then hundreds, tens, and ones using symbols >, <, or =.
Ascending and Descending Order
Arranging numbers from smallest to largest is ascending order, and from largest to smallest is descending order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What comes after 999?
After 999 comes 1000, which is the first 4-digit number.
How do we find the place value of a digit in a 4-digit number?
Multiply the digit by its position value (1000 for thousands, 100 for hundreds, 10 for tens, and 1 for ones).
What is the difference between place value and face value?
Face value is the exact value of the digit itself, whereas place value changes depending on where the digit is placed in the number.
