Understanding Decimal Operations WORKSHEET
Suitable for Grades: 5th Grade
CCSS: 5.NBT.A.3, 5.NBT.B.7
CCSS Description: CCSS Description: Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base‑ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000). b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
CCSS Description: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

Understanding Decimal Operations WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Help students make sense of how the four operations behave with decimals through a blend of sorting, comparing, and reasoning tasks.
Section A introduces addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division separately, asking pupils to sort given calculations by whether their answers are less than, equal to, or greater than one. The sorting without completing the calculations builds number sense and highlights how different operations affect decimal values. Section B extends understanding with comparison questions, fill-in-the-gap equations, ordering expressions by size, and true-or-false statements that require justification.
The worksheet encourages learners to think beyond procedures, strengthening both conceptual understanding and fluency when working with decimals.
