Grade 5 Decimals Worksheets — Free Printable PDF
Free Grade 5 decimals worksheets — decimal operations, place value to thousandths, rounding decimals. Common Core 5.NBT aligned.
Grade 5 decimals build on the Grade 4 introduction by extending to thousandths and adding all four operations. Where Grade 4 just asked the child to UNDERSTAND decimals, Grade 5 asks them to ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY and DIVIDE with them — and the rules for decimal placement in each operation are the new headache.
Our Grade 5 decimal sheets cover place value to thousandths (5.NBT.A.3), reading and writing decimals in expanded form, comparing decimals to thousandths, rounding decimals to any place, and the four arithmetic operations on decimals (5.NBT.B.7). The 'where does the decimal point go' question is the throughline of every operation, and we include side-by-side worked examples on the first sheet of each operation.
Pair with Math Quiz Challenge for mixed practice. Grade 5 decimal work prepares directly for Grade 6 percent and ratio work. Free, classroom-ready.
