About this worksheet

A decimal such as 4. 287 is a sum of its places: 4 ones, 2 tenths, 8 hundredths and 7 thousandths. Writing a decimal in expanded form, 4 + 0. 2 + 0. 08 + 0. 007, shows what each digit is worth and why the place matters. On this fifth grade sheet a child sees twelve decimals, one at a time, and writes each one as a sum of its parts.

Every version has different numbers, from tenths up to thousandths, and the answer key shows each sum in order from largest part to smallest.
