Decimals Drill Worksheets

Decimals are place value continued to the right of the point, and the sheets here treat them that way. Grade 4 writes tenths and hundredths as fractions and decimals and compares them; grade 5 adds, subtracts, multiplies and divides decimals to hundredths; grade 6 multiplies and divides decimals by decimals with multi-digit operands; grade 7 works with signed decimals and converts fractions to terminating and repeating decimals.

The vertical sheets align the decimal points, because right-aligning the digits is the single most common decimal error. Every answer keeps the number of places the operation requires, so the key models the notation as well as the value.

Decimals from grade 4 to grade 7

Decimals runs from grade 4 to grade 7 on 20 worksheets, four grades in all. The drill sheet shows the climb: grade 4, 22 problems with numbers to 100; grade 5, 18 problems with numbers to 48.99; grade 6, 16 problems with numbers to 98.271; grade 7, 20 problems with numbers to 19. Formats offered: drill at four grades, timed drill at four grades, missing number at four grades, mixed review at four grades, and word problems at four grades. Compare problem 8 of the grade 4 drill, "30/100", with problem 7 of the grade 7 drill, "0.6 × 6.9". Counted across every Set A decimals page: 59 with negative values, 76 with fractions, and 450 with decimals to 3 places. The decimals sheets carry four Common Core tags, from 4.NF.6 to 7.NS.2.

Decimals on this site runs from Grade 4 to grade 7: 20 worksheets across four grades and five formats (drill, timed drill, missing number, mixed review, and word problems), each in three versions, for 1,680 problems in all with every answer keyed. Seven of the sheets are original sheets kept as Set A of their cell, with Sets B and C derived from them.

Grade by grade: Grade 4 works on tenths and hundredths as fractions and decimals, comparing decimals, and adding tenths; Grade 5 works on adding and subtracting decimals to hundredths, and multiplying and dividing by whole numbers; Grade 6 works on multiplying and dividing decimals by decimals, and multi-digit decimal sums and differences; Grade 7 works on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing signed decimals, and repeating decimals.

Focus: tenths and hundredths as fractions and decimals, comparing decimals, and adding tenths.

Focus: adding and subtracting decimals to hundredths, and multiplying and dividing by whole numbers.

Focus: multiplying and dividing decimals by decimals, and multi-digit decimal sums and differences.

Focus: adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing signed decimals, and repeating decimals.

The six formats

  • Drill. Straight practice, 20-40 problems. A run of one decimal operation is where point alignment stops being a decision and becomes a habit.
  • Timed Drill. Fact fluency, 50-100 problems, timer box on sheet. Quick decimal comparisons and small sums are the fluency that keeps multi-step decimal work from stalling.
  • Missing Number. Solve for the blank in any position. A missing addend or factor with decimals asks the student to undo an operation, which exposes place-value gaps that forward computation hides.
  • Mixed Review. Assorted problem shapes from the operation. Adding, comparing and multiplying on the same page keeps the student choosing where the point goes rather than assuming.
  • Word Problems. Story problems in real-world contexts. Money and measurement are where decimals live outside the classroom, and where a misplaced point is obviously wrong.
