This free 5th grade math worksheet covers decimal place value — tenths, hundredths — with a nonfiction passage and comprehension questions.
Decimals are numbers that include a decimal point. The digits to the right of the decimal point represent parts of a whole. The first place to the right is the tenths place. The second place is the hundredths place. For example, 0.3 means three tenths, and 0.35 means thirty-five hundredths. Decimals are used every day — when you look at a price like $1.75, the digits after the decimal point show cents.
Decimals are a core 5th grade math topic that bridges whole numbers and fractions. This worksheet reinforces decimal place value and helps students connect decimals to everyday contexts like money.
