4 Digit Addition and Subtraction

This page contains a range of different worksheets to help you to practice your 4-digit addition and subtraction skills.

Once students are confident with column addition and subtraction, it is useful to get students to use both methods on the same worksheet to help them embed the correct method for each operation.

We also have some dedicated webpages to help you to understand and master 4-digit addition and 4-digit subtraction separately.

There a range of worksheets suitable for different levels of ability, with challenges for more able students.

The aim of these worksheets is to enable you to practice both column addition and subtraction problems on the same sheet.

Using our resources will help your child to:

• practice 4-digit addition and 4-digit subtraction;
• set out a 4-digit addition and subtraction problem correctly.
• apply your addition and subtraction skills to solve a range of problems

We have split the sheets into 2 sections.

• The first section is the easiest and involves 4-digit addition and subtraction problems both with and without regrouping
• The second section is for more confident students and involves 4-digit addition and subtraction challenges.

The sheet 1 to 4 are all at a similar level of difficulty. They are straightforward and just involve working out a range of standard column addition and subtraction problems.

Sheet 5 & 6 are slightly harder and involve writing out the addition and subtraction problems in columns and then solving them.

The frist two sheets involve filling in the missing digits in the 4-digit additions and subtraction, where the digits may belong to any of the numbers in the problem.

They require a sound knowledge of the 4-digit addition and subtraction methods.

The third sheet involves using 4-digit addition and subtraction to find the smallest and largest totals that can be made, and is more of an exploratory activity. This sheet would make a great extension activity for more able learners.

As well as 4-digit addition and subtraction worksheets, we also have 3-digit addition and subtraction worksheets.

The sheets are similar to those on this page, but with smaller numbers.

We also have a selection of addition and subtraction worksheets with multi-addends and involving decimals including money.
