What grade 5 covers in decimals
Common Core has fifth graders read, write and compare decimals to thousandths (5.NBT.3) and round them to any place (5.NBT.4). 5.NBT.2 adds multiplying and dividing by powers of 10, and 5.NBT.7 all four operations on decimals to hundredths. Texas 5.2 and 5.3 are narrower: rounding stops at tenths or hundredths, and products at the hundredths.
Which sheets go with which standard
The Sheet type menu follows the year, group by group: read and write (5.NBT.3a), compare and round (5.NBT.3b and 5.NBT.4), adding and subtracting (5.NBT.7), powers of 10 (5.NBT.2), then multiplying and dividing (5.NBT.7). Exponents on 10, multiplying and dividing writes 10³ as 10 × 10 × 10, the whole-number exponents 5.NBT.2 asks for.
Quotients with a zero to hold the place catches the skipped zero: 6.18 ÷ 6 = 1.03, and 1.3 × 6 = 7.8 shows why 1.3 is wrong.
Nearest whole number, halfway cases included shows that 6.48 ≈ 6: the tenths digit decides and the hundredths digit never does.
In Least first or greatest first? Order four decimals the signs on each line say which way to write the list.
Questions and answers
Which 5th grade decimals worksheets should come first?
Start with Decimals in words and digits, both directions, then Expanded form in decimals, zeros inside. Comparing and rounding come next, and the operations follow in the order of the Sheet type menu.
Is there a decimals worksheets grade 5 pdf?
There is no download button. Press Print, then choose Save as PDF in your browser's print window. The file holds the problems on page 1 and the answer key on page 2, both marked with the same sheet code.
Is there a 5th grade decimals test I can print?
Not as one sheet. For a quick check, print Greater, less or equal, to thousandths and Nearest tenth and nearest hundredth, then one sheet from each operation group. Every sheet has its key on page 2.
All 20 sheet types
Read and write decimals to thousandths 4
Decimals in words and digits, both directions0.208 is two hundred eight thousandths, and 0.208 = 208/1000. Half the lines give a numeral and half give its name. The key writes 3.04 as three and four hundredths, with the word and marking the point. Number names are one of the three forms in Common Core 5.NBT.3a.
Expanded form in decimals, zeros inside6.045 = 6 + 0.04 + 0.005 and 30.208 = 30 + 0.2 + 0.008. Every number has a zero somewhere between its first and last digit, and a pupil who expands 6.045 with 0.4 and 0.5 has moved two digits a place. Texas 5.2(A) calls this expanded notation.
Expanded form with 1/10, 1/100 and 1/1000347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × 1/10 + 9 × 1/100 + 2 × 1/1000, the example in Common Core 5.NBT.3a. Half the lines expand a numeral and half collapse an expanded form. A zero digit gets no term.
Underlined digit: its value as a decimal and a fractionIn 5.273 the underlined 7 is worth 0.07, since 5.273 = 5 + 0.2 + 0.07 + 0.003. The pupil writes each value as a decimal and as a fraction, here 7/100. The thousandths digit is underlined in half the problems, because that place is new in grade 5.

Compare, order and round 5
Greater, less or equal, to thousandths0.308 < 0.38, because 0.38 = 0.380 and 308 thousandths is less than 380 thousandths. Pairs run to thousandths with their lengths mixed, the longer number is the greater in only half of them, and about one pair in ten is equal, such as 0.7 and 0.70.
Least first or greatest first? Order four decimals1.05 < 1.109 < 1.19 < 1.5 on one line, 2.7 > 2.64 > 2.604 > 2.46 on the next. Each line says which way to write the list, half least first and half greatest first, so a pupil who sorts well still has to read the instruction. Texas 5.2(B) has grade 5 order decimals to thousandths; the Common Core names comparing only.
Nearest tenth and nearest hundredth4.372 ≈ 4.4 to the nearest tenth and 4.372 ≈ 4.37 to the nearest hundredth. Every number has three decimal places, and each problem names the place in words, tenth or hundredth, the two places Texas 5.2(C) names for grade 5. The key underlines that digit and circles the one to its right, which decides.
Nearest whole number, halfway cases included6.48 ≈ 6 and 6.5 ≈ 7. The tenths digit decides and the hundredths digit never does, which is why 6.48 cannot round twice to reach 7. About one number in five sits exactly halfway, and these sheets round a half up, the tie rule commonly taught.
One number rounded to three places8.965 ≈ 9 to the nearest whole number, 8.965 ≈ 9.0 to the nearest tenth and 8.965 ≈ 8.97 to the nearest hundredth. Each row of the table rounds one number three ways. The key keeps the zero in 9.0, because it shows that the tenths place was rounded.
Add and subtract to hundredths 3
Differences to hundredths, zero to annex8.4 − 2.65 = 8.40 − 2.65 = 5.75. The top number is the shorter one, so its hundredths column starts empty, and a pupil who brings the 5 straight down gets 5.85. The key writes the annexed zero in every problem and shows each regrouping. The page opens on this sheet.
Sums to hundredths, different lengths3.6 + 2.75 = 6.35. One number stops at tenths and the other at hundredths, so the digits do not line up on the right. Problems print in columns with the points in one line. Hundredths is as far as Common Core 5.NBT.7 takes any of the four operations.
Take a decimal from a whole number7 − 2.38 = 7.00 − 2.38 = 4.62. A whole number has its point after the last digit, so 7 becomes 7.00 and the regrouping runs through both zeros. Counting up checks it: 2.38 + 0.62 = 3 and 3 + 4 = 7, which is 4.62 in all.
Multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000 1
Exponents on 10, multiplying and dividing10³ means 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000, so 2.5 × 10³ is 2.5 × 1000 = 2500, and 38 ÷ 10² is 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38. The exponent counts the places the digits move. Common Core 5.NBT.2 asks for whole-number exponents on 10, here 1 to 3.
Multiply decimals, products to hundredths 2
One-digit whole number times a decimal0.6 × 7 = 4.2 and 2.35 × 4 = 9.4. Seven groups of 6 tenths are 42 tenths. Likewise 2.35 is 235 hundredths, 235 × 4 = 940, and 940 hundredths is 9.40, printed as 9.4. Texas 5.3(E) ties decimal products to whole number multiplication like this.
Products that stop at hundredths1.2 × 0.4 = 0.48 and 0.25 × 6 = 1.5. Texas 5.3(E) stops grade 5 products at the hundredths, so the factors here are tenths times tenths, or hundredths times a whole number. Hundredths times tenths would give thousandths, and that pairing is never drawn.
Divide decimals, quotients to hundredths 5
Decimal divided by a one-digit whole number7.2 ÷ 6 = 1.2 and 9.45 ÷ 5 = 1.89. The pupil divides as with whole numbers and writes the point of the quotient directly above the point of the dividend. Every division ends within the digits given, so no zero has to be annexed on this sheet.
Divide by a two-digit whole number, quotient to hundredths9.36 ÷ 12 = 0.78, and the check is 0.78 × 12 = 9.36. Since 12 does not go into 9, the quotient starts with a 0 before the point. Texas 5.3(G) sets this limit for grade 5: dividends of up to four digits and two-digit whole number divisors.
Divide by tenths: make the divisor whole1.4 ÷ 0.2 = 14 ÷ 2 = 7. Multiplying both numbers by 10 leaves the quotient unchanged and makes the divisor whole. Common Core 5.NBT.7 sets no whole-number limit on divisors, but Texas 5.3(G) does, so in Texas this sheet is grade 6 work.
Quotients with a zero to hold the place6.18 ÷ 6 = 1.03 and 0.35 ÷ 7 = 0.05. When 6 does not go into 1, a zero is written in the tenths place before the 8 comes down. Pupils who skip it write 1.3, and multiplying back exposes that: 1.3 × 6 = 7.8.
Whole number divided by a whole number, decimal quotient9 ÷ 4 = 2.25 and 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75. The pupil does not stop at a remainder but writes 9 as 9.00 and keeps dividing. With divisors 2, 4, 5, 20, 25 and 50 every quotient ends by the hundredths. Common Core 5.NF.3 reads 3/4 as a division.
