Looking for Decimal Place Value Worksheets?

So your students have mastered traditional place value concepts… now what? If your students have a good handle on identifying the place value of a digit, they are probably ready to understand different patterns that occur within numbers. Once students enter upper primary, they start to learn about how a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left. Teach Starter has a handy maths worksheet for your students to practise this skill!

With this worksheet, students will review and become familiar with moving from place value to place value within a number and recognising patterns. Students will practise moving decimal points to make a number larger or smaller. The goal is for students to understand when the decimal point moves to the left, the number decreases. When the decimal point is moved to the right, the number increases.

An answer key is included with your download to make marking fast and easy!
