Building the fraction-decimal connection
These Grade 5 fractions and decimals worksheets help students connect two ways of writing the same value. Children practice changing proper fractions and mixed numbers into decimals, then reverse the thinking by writing decimals as fractions or mixed numbers.
The printable activities include focused pages for denominators of 10, 100, and 1000, mixed numbers to decimals, fractions with various denominators, repeating decimals, decimals to fractions with and without simplifying, and decimals to mixed numbers.
Students begin by seeing that a decimal is another way to name a fraction. Tenths, hundredths, and thousandths are especially important because they match place value columns: 0.4 = 4/10, 0.37 = 37/100, and 0.625 = 625/1000. Worksheets move from these friendly forms to fractions with other denominators, where students may use equivalent fractions or division.
Progression across the worksheets
The collection includes proper fractions to decimals, mixed numbers to decimals, and mixed numbers with denominators 10, 100, and 1000. Students also meet repeating decimals, such as fractions that do not end neatly. In the opposite direction, they write decimals as fractions, sometimes leaving the fraction unsimplified first, then simplifying when required. Decimal-to-mixed-number pages help children handle values greater than 1, such as 2.75 = 2 75/100 = 2 3/4.
A simple parent routine
Ask your child to read the number aloud before converting it. For example, 3.48 is “three and forty-eight hundredths,” which points naturally to 3 48/100. Then have them check whether the fraction part can be simplified. For fraction-to-decimal work, encourage a second check with place value or division: 3/4 can become 75/100, so it is 0.75.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for warm-ups, small-group review, math centers, or independent practice after a mini-lesson. One group might work on denominators of 10, 100, and 1000 while another practices various denominators or repeating decimals. The mix of forward and reverse conversions supports discussion about why the values are equivalent, not just how to rewrite them.
Common errors to watch for
Students may place digits in the wrong decimal position, write 0.5 as 5/100 instead of 5/10, forget the whole-number part in mixed numbers, or treat a repeating decimal as if it terminates. When simplifying, some students divide only the numerator or denominator. A helpful strategy is: read it, write it, simplify it, then estimate whether the answer is reasonable.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What fraction and decimal skills are covered in these Grade 5 worksheets?
They cover fractions to decimals, mixed numbers to decimals, fractions with denominators 10, 100, and 1000, fractions with various denominators, repeating decimals, decimals to fractions, and decimals to mixed numbers.
Do students need to simplify every decimal-to-fraction answer?
Some worksheets focus on writing the decimal as a fraction without simplifying, while others require simplification. This helps students first understand the place value fraction, then practice reducing it.
How can my child convert a mixed number like 4 3/10 to a decimal?
Keep the whole number 4, then convert 3/10 to 0.3. Together, the mixed number becomes 4.3.
Why are denominators of 10, 100, and 1000 included separately?
These denominators connect directly to decimal place value. They help students see why 7/10 is 0.7, 42/100 is 0.42, and 319/1000 is 0.319.
How should students handle fractions that become repeating decimals?
They should divide carefully and mark the repeating digit or digits with a bar when appropriate. The goal is to recognize that some fractions do not end as terminating decimals.
