About this worksheet

Multiplying and dividing decimals asks students to track place value while scaling numbers up or down asks fifth graders to coordinate notation, calculation, and reasoning instead of applying a memorized step in isolation. Students may ignore the decimal point after multiplying digits, or they may divide by a power of ten in the wrong direction. This worksheet rotates through short self-checking items so students practice the named skill from several angles. Students multiply decimals by whole numbers, divide decimals by whole numbers, multiply tenths by tenths, shift by powers of ten, and solve short decimal problems. Support versions keep numbers friendlier while preserving the same reasoning. Standard and challenge versions add closer choices, less familiar values, or an extra comparison step. Encourage your child to name the operation, place value, unit, or property before calculating. If an answer is close but uses the wrong place, denominator, operation order, or unit, it is the trap.

What your child will learn

  • Multiply decimals
  • Divide decimals
  • Use powers of ten
  • Solve decimal word problems

Worked example

6 groups of 1.25 equals 7.50 because 125 hundredths times 6 is 750 hundredths.

Common mistake

Counting decimal places after the operation without checking whether the answer is reasonable.

Helpful hint

Estimate first so the decimal point lands in a sensible place.
