Fractions To Decimals Practice Activities
Class 5 maths worksheets that help children convert fractions into decimals using place value, equivalent fractions, and simple division.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn
These Class 5 fractions to decimals worksheets help children understand that fractions and decimals can name the same value. Learners practise converting familiar fractions into tenths, hundredths, or thousandths and connect each answer to decimal place value.
The printable activities include step-by-step practice, mixed conversion questions, comparison-style thinking, and examples that encourage children to check whether a decimal answer is reasonable. They are suitable for homework, revision, extra practice, or maths centres.
Fractions to decimals is more than changing the look of a number. Children learn that 3/10 is 0.3, 25/100 is 0.25, and a fraction such as 1/2 can be rewritten as 5/10 before writing 0.5. The worksheets build the link between numerator, denominator, and decimal place value so that children read decimals as tenths, hundredths, and thousandths instead of as separate digits.
Skill progression in the practice
Activities begin with fractions that already have denominators such as 10 or 100, then move towards equivalent fractions like 3/5 = 6/10 = 0.6. Some questions may also use division thinking, where the numerator is divided by the denominator to find the decimal. This gradual movement helps Class 5 learners see more than one valid method and choose the one that fits the fraction.
Parent routine for home practice
Start with five quick oral questions: “What is 7/10 as a decimal?” or “How many hundredths are in 0.42?” Then ask your child to complete one short section independently. After checking, have them explain two answers aloud using words such as numerator, denominator, equivalent fraction, tenths, and hundredths. If an error appears, return to a place value chart rather than simply giving the correct decimal.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables for guided maths groups, independent seatwork, revision before decimals lessons, or quick assessment after teaching equivalent fractions. They also work well in centres: one group converts fractions, another checks with place value grids, and a third writes a matching decimal sentence.
Common errors to watch for
Children may write 1/4 as 1.4 because they place the numerator and denominator around a decimal point. Others forget that 6/100 is 0.06, not 0.6. Encourage pupils to say the decimal name aloud: “six hundredths” sounds different from “six tenths.” Watch also for missing zeros and for treating the denominator as the number of digits after the decimal without thinking about value.

Answers and answer key support
After the child completes the worksheet independently, parents and teachers can use the answer support or answer key information to check the work, review mistakes, and choose the next practice step.
Why iBloom worksheets help
The practice is focused on the exact Class 5 skill of converting fractions to decimals, with enough variety to prevent guessing by pattern alone. A child-friendly strategy is: make an equivalent fraction with 10, 100, or 1000 when possible; write the decimal using place value; then read it aloud to check if it matches the fraction.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What methods can my child use to convert fractions to decimals?
For Class 5, children usually use equivalent fractions with denominators such as 10, 100, or 1000, or divide the numerator by the denominator. Both methods are useful, and these worksheets give practice with the place value behind the answer.
Are these worksheets suitable if my child confuses 0.6 and 0.06?
Yes. The practice reinforces decimal place value so children can distinguish six tenths from six hundredths. Encourage your child to read each decimal aloud and connect it to the fraction denominator.
Do the activities include fractions like halves, quarters, and fifths?
The worksheets focus on converting common Class 5 fractions into decimals, including fractions that can be changed into tenths or hundredths. Fractions such as halves, quarters, and fifths are helpful examples for equivalent-fraction thinking.
How should I support my child if they write 1/4 as 1.4?
Remind them that the decimal point is not a separator between numerator and denominator. Show that 1/4 means one divided into four equal parts, then use an equivalent fraction or division to reach 0.25.
Can teachers use these pages for revision?
Yes. They are useful for classwork, homework, maths centres, or quick revision after teaching fractions and decimals. Teachers can also ask pupils to explain the method used for selected answers.
Is this class 5 fractions to decimals worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this class 5 fractions to decimals worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
Does this class 5 fractions to decimals worksheet include answers or an answer key?
When the activity has fixed answers, iBloom includes answer support so parents and teachers can check the completed worksheet.
