- Find the difference between two decimals and write the answer with the decimal point in the right place.
Adding Decimals with a Number Line
- Add two decimal numbers by starting at the first number and making jumps on a number line.
- Use tenths marks to keep track of how far each jump moves.
- Read and write the decimal you land on as the sum.
Adding and Subtracting Decimals with Helper Grid
- Line up decimals by place value using a helper grid so the digits match up correctly.
- Add decimals accurately, including when you need to regroup.
- Subtract decimals accurately, including when you need to regroup.
- Keep the decimal point in the right place when writing the final answer.
Adding Multiple Addends
- Add several decimal numbers to find one total.
- Line up decimal points so each place value is added in the right column.
- Regroup when the digits in a column add to 10 or more.
- Keep track of tenths and hundredths so the decimal ends up in the correct spot in the sum.
About these worksheets
Students practice multiplying and dividing with decimal numbers using a range of methods. Worksheets cover placing the decimal point correctly in products and quotients, multiplying and dividing by powers of ten, estimating decimal products, using visual area models, and performing all four operations with decimals. Topics extend through sixth grade standards.
Placing Decimals
- Place the decimal point correctly in a multiplication problem with decimals.
- Count decimal places in the factors to decide how many decimal places the product should have.
- Multiply the numbers as whole numbers first, then put the decimal back in the right spot.
Understanding Multiplying Decimals
- Multiply two decimal numbers to find the product.
- Place the decimal point correctly in the answer.
- Use place value to understand how multiplying by tenths and hundredths changes a number.
- Multiply decimals by multiplying as whole numbers first, then adjusting for the decimal places.
Multiplying and Dividing Powers of Ten
- Multiply decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by moving the decimal point the right number of places.
- Divide decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by moving the decimal point the right number of places.
- Use exponents like 10^2 and 10^3 to recognize how many places to shift the decimal.
- Write answers with the decimal point and any needed zeros in the correct place.
Decimal Equation Patterns
- Multiply decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by shifting the decimal point the right way.
- Divide decimals by 10, 100, and 1,000 by shifting the decimal point the right way.

- Keep dividing past the decimal to get an exact answer or a decimal answer.
Dividing Decimals with Partial Quotients
- Divide decimals by decimals using the partial quotients (chunking) method.
- Break a division problem into easier steps by subtracting groups of the divisor and keeping a running total of the quotient.
- Place the decimal correctly in the quotient based on the values in the dividend and divisor.
- Multiply to find helpful chunks of the divisor (like 10× or 0.1×) that fit into the dividend.
Multiplying Decimals (Visually)
- Multiply two decimals to find the product.
- Use an area model (grid) to show what a decimal multiplication problem means.
Multiplying Decimals (Visually)
