Dividing Decimals 1D By 10 100 Practice Activities
Class 5 maths worksheets for practising division of one-decimal-place numbers by 10 and 100 using place value and zero placeholders.
Practice that builds confidence
Understanding the place-value shift
These Class 5 maths worksheets help children practise dividing decimals with one decimal place by 10 and 100. Learners see how each digit changes place value, why the decimal point appears to move left, and when zeros are needed as placeholders.
The printable activities include direct calculations, place-value based examples, mixed practice, and error-checking questions. They are designed for the Decimals Division topic, focusing only on dividing 1-decimal numbers by 10 and 100.
When a decimal is divided by 10, every digit becomes one-tenth of its original value. When it is divided by 100, every digit becomes one-hundredth of its original value. For example, 6.4 ÷ 10 = 0.64, and 6.4 ÷ 100 = 0.064. Children learn that the digits keep their order, but their place value changes.
What children practise on these sheets
The questions focus on one-decimal-place numbers such as 3.5, 8.7, or 12.4 divided by 10 and 100. Activities may ask children to complete answers, compare similar examples, fill missing zeros, or choose the correct result. This narrow practice helps them build accuracy before moving to longer decimal division work.
A simple routine for parents
At home, ask your child to say the number aloud first: “7.2 is seven and two tenths.” Then ask what happens when it is divided by 10 or 100. Encourage them to write the answer with a leading zero when needed, as in 0.72 or 0.072. After each set, let your child check one answer by multiplying it back by 10 or 100.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these worksheets after introducing decimal place value, as morning revision, maths notebook practice, or small-group support. They also work well for quick checks before lessons on dividing decimals by whole numbers. Mixed rows of ÷ 10 and ÷ 100 help show whether pupils are reading the operation carefully rather than following a memorised pattern.
Common errors to watch for
Children may write 8.5 ÷ 100 as 0.85 instead of 0.085, forget the zero before the decimal point, or move the decimal point in the wrong direction. Some may add extra zeros at the end and think the value has changed. Remind them that zeros can be placeholders, and the size of the answer should be smaller after division.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The practice is focused, uncluttered, and matched to the exact Class 5 skill. A child-friendly strategy is: “Divide by 10, move one place left; divide by 100, move two places left; fill empty places with zero.” The repeated examples help children connect the shortcut with place value, not just memorise a rule.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does 1D mean in these decimal division worksheets?
Here, 1D refers to decimals with one digit after the decimal point, such as 4.6 or 12.8. The worksheets focus on dividing these numbers by 10 and 100.
How should a child divide a decimal by 10?
They should understand that each digit becomes one-tenth of its value. As a shortcut, the decimal point appears to move one place left, so 5.3 ÷ 10 = 0.53.
Why is 7.4 divided by 100 written as 0.074?
Dividing by 100 makes the number one-hundredth as large, so the digits shift two places in place value. A zero is needed as a placeholder before 74, giving 0.074.
What common mistake happens when dividing decimals by 100?
Many children move only one place instead of two, writing 0.68 for 6.8 ÷ 100. The correct answer is 0.068.
How can parents help check answers at home?
Ask the child to multiply the answer by 10 or 100. If 0.92 × 10 gives 9.2, then 9.2 ÷ 10 = 0.92 is correct.
