56,732 → read the digits from the left: 5 is in the Ten Thousands place (5 × 10,000 = 50,000), 6 is in the Thousands place (6 × 1,000 = 6,000), 7 is in the Hundreds place (700), 3 is in the Tens place (30), 2 is in the Ones place (2). So 56,732 = 50,000 + 6,000 + 700 + 30 + 2.

A theatre has 34,500 seats. 28,750 are filled. How many are empty? → This is subtraction: 34,500 − 28,750. Line up the digits by place value and subtract with regrouping: 34,500 − 28,750 = 5,750. So 5,750 seats are empty.

Arrange the numbers in each set in ascending order (smallest to largest).

Put in order

Here’s one done for you

34,521, 34,512, 43,521 → first compare the Ten Thousands digit: 34,521 and 34,512 both start with 3, but 43,521 starts with 4, so it is the largest of the three. Between 34,521 and 34,512, every digit matches except the Ones place, where 2 is less than 1... check again digit by digit: Tens digit of 34,512 is 1, of 34,521 is 2, so 34,512 is smaller. Ascending order: 34,512, 34,521, 43,521.

Exercise 6 of 8 · 10 questions

Read what each child did, find the mistake, and write the correct answer.

Write the answer

Here’s one done for you

Question: Sana says the place value of the digit 6 in 26,540 is ‘six’. Where is her mistake? → She named the digit itself, not its place value. The 6 sits in the Thousands column, so its place value is 6 × 1,000 = 6,000, not just 6.

  1. 1)Kabir compares 45,231 and 45,132 by looking only at the last digit (1 in 45,132 vs 2 in 45,231) and concludes 45,132 is greater. What is the correct way to compare two numbers, and which one is actually greater?
  2. 2)Isha wrote the expanded form of 70,406 as “70,000 + 400 + 6”, leaving out the Thousands and Tens terms. Is her total value correct, and what is the fully written expanded form?
  3. 3)Yusuf says the digit 9 in 91,234 is in the Thousands place. Is he right? If not, name the correct place and its value.
  4. 4)Priya added 34,560 + 12,340 in her head and said the answer is 46,000. Find her mistake and give the correct sum.
  5. 5)Aman says that because 99,999 has five 9s, six-digit numbers like 1,00,000 should also count as ‘Class 5 maths’. Is he right?
  6. 6)Meera was asked to write the number for ‘8 Thousands + 3 Hundreds + 0 Tens + 5 Ones’ and wrote 835. What did she get wrong, and what is the correct number?
  7. 7)Rehan says 60,999 comes after 61,000 when counting upward. Is this correct?
  8. 8)Simran read 34,090 aloud as ‘thirty-four thousand and nine’. What did she misread, and how should the number be read?
  9. 9)Devika says the greatest 5-digit number using the digits 3, 9, 0, 6, 1 (each once) is 90,631. What is the actual greatest number possible, and where did she go wrong?
  10. 10)Arjun subtracted 50,000 − 49,999 and said the answer is 11. Find his mistake and give the correct answer.

Answers

  1. 1) Compare digit by digit starting from the left (the Ten Thousands place), not the last digit. Both numbers have 4 Ten Thousands and 5 Thousands, but 45,231 has 2 Hundreds while 45,132 has 1 Hundred, so 45,231 is the greater number.
  2. 2) Her total value (70,406) is correct, but she should still write all five place values: 70,000 + 0 + 400 + 0 + 6.
  3. 3) No. The 9 in 91,234 is the first (leftmost) digit, so it is in the Ten Thousands place, worth 90,000.
  4. 4) She rounded the numbers before adding instead of adding them exactly. The correct sum is 46,900.
  5. 5) No. 99,999 is the largest number in the Class 5 syllabus; six-digit numbers such as 1,00,000 (one lakh) are not part of Class 5 at all.
  6. 6) She wrote the digits in the wrong place-value columns. 8 Thousands + 3 Hundreds + 0 Tens + 5 Ones = 8,000 + 300 + 0 + 5 = 8,305, not 835.
  7. 7) No. 60,999 is less than 61,000, so 60,999 comes before 61,000, not after.
  8. 8) She dropped the Tens digit’s zero from her reading. The number should be read as ‘thirty-four thousand and ninety’, not ‘thirty-four thousand and nine’.
  9. 9) To make the greatest number, every remaining digit after the first must also be placed largest to smallest: 9, 6, 3, 1, 0, giving 96,310. Devika placed the leftover digits in the wrong order after the 9.
  10. 10) He likely misaligned the digits while subtracting. 50,000 − 49,999 = 1, not 11.

Exercise 7 of 8 · 10 questions

Answer each question in a sentence or two, explaining how you know.

Write the answer

Here’s one done for you

Question: Without adding, how do you know 34,000 + 34,000 is less than 99,999? → 34,000 doubled is 68,000, and 68,000 is still less than 99,999, so the answer stays inside the Class 5 range. Check: 34,000 + 34,000 = 68,000.

  1. 1)Without adding, how can you tell that 45,678 + 23,450 will have exactly 5 digits and not 6? Explain, then give the actual sum.
  2. 2)How can you tell that 67,000 is greater than 66,999 just by comparing the Ten Thousands and Thousands digits, without looking at the rest?
  3. 3)A number has a 0 in the Ten Thousands place, such as 08,540. Can this really be called a five-digit number? Explain.
  4. 4)Without subtracting, how do you know that 99,999 − 45,678 will start with a smaller Ten Thousands digit than 9? Explain, then subtract to check.
  5. 5)Two numbers both have a 7 in the Thousands place. Does that mean the two numbers must be equal? Explain with an example.
  6. 6)How can you tell 12,999 is closer to 13,000 than to 12,000, without measuring on a number line?
  7. 7)If you increase the Ten Thousands digit of a number by 1, how much bigger does the number become? Check using 34,210 becoming 44,210.
  8. 8)Explain why 90,000 has more zeros written than 9,000, even though both are multiples of 1,000.
  9. 9)A friend says ‘a number with more digits is always bigger’. Is this true for whole numbers with no leading zero? Give an example that shows why.
  10. 10)Without adding, explain why 45,000 + 45,000 must be less than 99,999.

Answers

  1. 1) Both numbers are less than 50,000, so their sum must be less than 1,00,000 - it cannot reach six digits. Actual sum: 69,128.
  2. 2) Both start with 6 Ten Thousands, but 67,000 has 7 Thousands while 66,999 has 6 Thousands, so 67,000 is greater - the Hundreds, Tens and Ones digits do not need checking.
  3. 3) No. If the leading digit is 0, the number is really only a four-digit number (8,540 here) - a genuine five-digit number cannot start with 0.
  4. 4) Taking tens of thousands away from 99,999 must leave fewer than 9 Ten Thousands. Actual answer: 54,321, which starts with 5.
  5. 5) No. The Thousands digit being equal only fixes one place value; the other digits can differ, e.g., 17,340 and 27,300 both have 7 in the Thousands place but are not equal.
  6. 6) 12,999 is only 1 away from 13,000 but 999 away from 12,000, so it is far closer to 13,000.
  7. 7) The number becomes exactly 10,000 bigger, because one step in the Ten Thousands place is worth 10,000. Check: 44,210 − 34,210 = 10,000.
  8. 8) 90,000 has one more digit than 9,000 (it reaches the Ten Thousands place), so it needs one extra placeholder zero to keep every digit in its correct column.
  9. 9) Yes. Even the smallest 5-digit number, 10,000, is bigger than the largest 4-digit number, 9,999 - one extra digit always outweighs the rest.
  10. 10) 45,000 doubled is 90,000, which is still less than 99,999. Actual sum: 90,000.

While your child works

  • If your child reaches for a sixth digit or a lakh, that is likely memory of an older syllabus - the current NCERT book genuinely stops at 99,999.
  • A wrong expanded form usually means the place value itself is shaky, not just the writing, so it is worth checking place value first.
  • Keep a scrap page nearby for the word problems in the last exercise - the working should stay visible, not just the final answer.

Does this worksheet include decimals?

No. Class 5 does not teach decimals at all, so none appear on this worksheet or anywhere else on this page.

Is an answer key included?

Yes, every exercise has its answers listed alongside it, and the same answers print on a separate page in the PDF.

Does this Class 5 Maths worksheet come with answers?

Yes. Every exercise has a full answer key, and it prints on its own page at the end rather than beside the questions - so you can hand your child the sheet and keep the answers back. Some exercises also show one question already worked out, with the method rather than just the result, which is the part most answer keys leave out.

Is there a free printable PDF?

Yes, and there is no sign-up, no email and no account. The download button at the top of the sheet gives you the whole thing - all 88 questions across 8 exercises, plus the answer key - laid out to print on A4.

How long does this worksheet take?

About 55 minutes for 88 questions, though that is a guide rather than a target. It is designed to be split: the exercises are ordered so stopping halfway still leaves a complete piece of work, which matters more than finishing at this age.

Can I use it if my child is in a different class?

Often, yes - these topics are taught across several years and schools vary in when they arrive. Judge by the questions rather than the class on the label. If the first exercise is a struggle the level below is the better start, and the same topic at other levels is linked further up this page.
