Grade 4 Add Worksheet Answer Key: problems 1–5
Problem 1: Add without regrouping
Add each place from the ones: 4 + 3 = 7 ones, 1 + 7 = 8 tens, 2 + 5 = 7 hundreds, 3 + 4 = 7 thousands.
\(3{,}214 + 4{,}573 = 7{,}787\). Answer: 7,787
Problem 2: Add with regrouping
Ones: 8 + 7 = 15, write 5 and regroup 1 ten. Tens: 6 + 5 + 1 = 12, write 2 and regroup 1 hundred. Hundreds: 4 + 3 + 1 = 8. Thousands: 2 + 1 = 3.
Answer: 3,825
Problem 3: Add with three regroupings
Ones: 9 + 6 = 15, write 5, regroup 1. Tens: 8 + 4 + 1 = 13, write 3, regroup 1. Hundreds: 7 + 8 + 1 = 16, write 6, regroup 1. Thousands: 5 + 2 + 1 = 8.
\(5{,}789 + 2{,}846 = 8{,}635\). Answer: 8,635
Problem 4: Add five-digit numbers
Ones: 2 + 9 = 11, write 1, regroup 1. Tens: 8 + 5 + 1 = 14, write 4, regroup 1. Hundreds: 4 + 7 + 1 = 12, write 2, regroup 1. Thousands: 6 + 7 + 1 = 14, write 4, regroup 1. Ten thousands: 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.
Answer: 64,241
Problem 5: Add six-digit numbers
Ones: 5 + 6 = 11, write 1. Tens: 1 + 8 + 1 = 10, write 0. Hundreds: 6 + 3 + 1 = 10, write 0. Thousands: 8 + 9 + 1 = 18, write 8. Ten thousands: 4 + 7 + 1 = 12, write 2. Hundred thousands: 2 + 1 + 1 = 4.
Answer: 428,001
Grade 4 Add Worksheet Answer Key: problems 6–10
Problem 6: Subtract without regrouping
Ones: 6 − 4 = 2. Tens: 9 − 2 = 7. Hundreds: 8 − 5 = 3. Thousands: 7 − 3 = 4.
Check: \(4{,}372 + 3{,}524 = 7{,}896\). Answer: 4,372
Problem 7: Subtract with regrouping
Ones: 1 is less than 9, so regroup 1 ten as 10 ones: 11 − 9 = 2. Tens: 5 tens became 4 tens, and 4 − 2 = 2. Hundreds: 4 is less than 7, so regroup 1 thousand as 10 hundreds: 14 − 7 = 7. Thousands: 6 became 5, and 5 − 2 = 3.
Check: \(3{,}722 + 2{,}729 = 6{,}451\). Answer: 3,722
Problem 8: Subtract with several regroupings
Ones: 3 is less than 7, and the tens digit is 0. Regroup from the hundreds: 2 hundreds become 1 hundred and 10 tens, then 1 ten becomes 10 ones. Ones: 13 − 7 = 6. Tens: 9 − 6 = 3. Hundreds: 1 is less than 5, so regroup 1 thousand: 11 − 5 = 6. Thousands: 7 − 4 = 3.
Answer: 3,636
Problem 9: Subtract across zeros
Regroup 1 thousand as 10 hundreds, 1 hundred as 10 tens, and 1 ten as 10 ones. The top number becomes 4 thousands, 9 hundreds, 9 tens, and 10 ones. Subtract: 10 − 6 = 4, 9 − 7 = 2, 9 − 3 = 6, 4 − 2 = 2.
Check: \(2{,}624 + 2{,}376 = 5{,}000\). Answer: 2,624
Problem 10: Subtract six-digit numbers
Regroup across the zeros: the top number becomes 4 hundred thousands, 4 ten thousands, 9 thousands, 9 hundreds, 9 tens, and 10 ones. Ones: 10 − 4 = 6. Tens: 9 − 6 = 3. Hundreds: 9 − 7 = 2. Thousands: 9 − 8 = 1. Ten thousands: 4 − 2 = 2. Hundred thousands: 4 − 1 = 3.
Check: \(321{,}236 + 128{,}764 = 450{,}000\). Answer: 321,236
Grade 4 Add Worksheet Answer Key: problems 11–15
Problem 11: Find the missing addend
Subtract the known addend from the total: \(7{,}031 – 2{,}486 = 4{,}545\).
Check: \(4{,}545 + 2{,}486 = 7{,}031\). Answer: 4,545
Problem 12: Check by adding
Check: \(5{,}643 + 3{,}457\) = \(9{,}100\), which is not \(9{,}000\). So her answer is wrong.
Correct subtraction: \(9{,}000 – 3{,}457 = 5{,}543\). Check: \(5{,}543 + 3{,}457 = 9{,}000\). Answer: No; the correct difference is 5,543
Problem 13: Find the mistake in addition
Jamal never regrouped. In the ones, 8 + 5 = 13, so he should write 3 and regroup 1 ten; he dropped the 1. The same happened in the tens (7 + 4 = 11) and the hundreds (6 + 5 = 11).
Answer: 8,223
Problem 14: Add three numbers
First, \(12{,}408 + 3{,}596 = 16{,}004\). Then \(16{,}004 + 25{,}731 = 41{,}735\).
Answer: 41,735
Problem 15: Compare sums and differences
\(6{,}308 + 2{,}795 = 9{,}103\) and \(10{,}000 – 891 = 9{,}109\).
Since \(9{,}103\) is less than \(9{,}109\), the answer is <.

Problem 17: Road trip miles left
Subtract the part from the whole: \(2{,}845 – 1{,}978 = 867\).
Answer: 867 miles
Problem 18: Bake sale budget
\(\$12{,}475 – \$4{,}868 = \$7{,}607\). Check: 7,607 + 4,868 = 12,475.
Answer: $7,607
Problem 19: Two towns
(a) \(48{,}305 – 36{,}478 = 11{,}827\).
(b) \(48{,}305 + 36{,}478 = 84{,}783\).
Answer: (a) 11,827 people; (b) 84,783 people
Problem 20: Farmers market apples
\(2{,}364 + 1{,}897 = 4{,}261\). Then \(4{,}261 + 3{,}058 = 7{,}319\).
Answer: 7,319 pounds
Grade 4 Add Worksheet Answer Key: problems 21–23
Problem 21: Stadium crowds
(a) Friday: \(52{,}000 – 38{,}645 = 13{,}355\). Saturday: \(52{,}000 – 47{,}298 = 4{,}702\).
(b) \(47{,}298 – 38{,}645 = 8{,}653\).
Answer: (a) 13,355 and 4,702 empty seats; (b) 8,653 more fans
Problem 22: Library books
After Monday: \(15{,}200 – 3{,}486 = 11{,}714\). After Tuesday: \(11{,}714 + 2{,}719 = 14{,}433\).
Answer: 14,433 books
Problem 23: Video views goal
Views so far: \(34{,}568 + 29{,}745 = 64{,}313\). Views needed: \(100{,}000 – 64{,}313 = 35{,}687\).
Check: \(35{,}687 + 64{,}313 = 100{,}000\). Answer: 35,687 views
