About these worksheets
These worksheets develop students' understanding of where decimals fall on a number line. Activities include locating decimals between whole numbers, determining whether a decimal is less than, equal to, or greater than one-half, and using number lines to express decimal expansions. Suitable for fourth through eighth grade.
4nf6
Use the whole numbers on a number line to figure out which interval a decimal belongs in. Count equal tick marks on a number line to place a decimal at the correct point.
4nf6
Decide whether a decimal number is less than, equal to, or greater than one-half (0.5). Use place value to compare decimals by looking at tenths and hundredths. Recognize different ways to write one-half, like 0.5 and 0.50, and compare other decimals to it.

About these worksheets
Students explore the meaning and value of decimal digits through a variety of activities. Worksheets cover identifying the value of underlined digits, recognizing repeating and terminating decimals, reading visual models of tenths and hundredths, interpreting place value blocks, and converting between decimals and percents. These resources span fifth through seventh grade standards.
5nbt1
Find the value of an underlined digit in a decimal number. Use place value to tell how much a digit is worth (like tens, ones, tenths, or hundredths).
7ns2d
Convert a fraction into a decimal that repeats. Spot the repeating pattern in a decimal and write it using a bar (overline) notation.
7ns2d
Decide whether a fraction will turn into a terminating decimal or a repeating decimal. Use long division to see if the decimal ends or starts cycling. Spot when a remainder repeats and understand that this creates a repeating pattern in the decimal.
Read a shaded picture model and tell what decimal it represents. Connect tenths and hundredths to how much of a whole is shaded. Use place value to decide whether the decimal should have one or two digits after the decimal point. Choose the matching decimal from several answer choices by comparing the model to the numbers.
