Place Value 6 Digit Decimals Practice Activities
Printable Class 5 maths worksheets for practising place value, digit value, expanded form, comparison, and rounding with 6 digit decimals.
Practice that builds confidence
Building decimal place value clearly
These Class 5 maths worksheets help children understand how place value works in 6 digit decimal numbers. Learners practise reading digits on both sides of the decimal point, naming place values, writing values in expanded form, and seeing how a digit changes value by position.
The printable activities include clear number layouts, place value tables, fill-in-the-blank questions, matching tasks, comparison practice, and rounding questions. They are useful for revision after teaching decimals or for strengthening accuracy before moving to more complex decimal operations.
In this worksheet collection, children work with decimal numbers that contain up to six digits, using the decimal point as the main reference. They identify places such as ones, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, and connect a digit’s position to its value. For example, in 438.52, the 3 has a value of 30, while the 5 has a value of 5 tenths.
From digits to expanded form
The practice gradually moves from naming places to writing numbers in expanded form and standard form. A child may break a number into hundreds, tens, ones, tenths, and hundredths, then rebuild it correctly. This helps prevent the common habit of reading decimals like whole numbers and supports later work in addition, subtraction, comparison, and rounding.
A simple parent routine
At home, choose one number from the worksheet and ask your child to underline the decimal point first. Then point to any digit and ask three quick questions: What is the place? What is the value? What happens if this digit moves one place left or right? End by asking your child to say the number aloud correctly. This short routine builds confidence without turning revision into memorisation.
Classroom use for maths practice
Teachers can use these printables for morning work, small-group support, maths centres, or quick checks after a decimal place value lesson. Place value tables are especially helpful for children who need a visual structure. Mixed questions can also be used as an exit task to see whether pupils can apply the same concept across expanded form, comparison, and rounding.
Common mistakes to watch for
Many Class 5 learners confuse tenths and tens, ignore zero as a placeholder, or compare decimals by counting digits instead of place values. For example, they may think 4.75 is smaller than 4.8 because 75 is less than 8. Encourage them to line up decimal points or use a place value chart before comparing or rounding.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The activities are designed to move from recognition to reasoning. Children do not only label digits; they explain value, rewrite numbers, compare decimals, and apply rounding. A useful child-friendly strategy is: “Find the decimal, name the place, then decide the value.” Repeating this in varied questions helps decimal place value become steady and usable.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does place value in 6 digit decimals mean for Class 5?
It means understanding the value of each digit in a decimal number with up to six digits, using its position around the decimal point. Children learn that a digit in the tenths place has a different value from the same digit in the tens place.
Do these worksheets include expanded form of decimals?
Yes. The activities include practice in breaking decimal numbers into place values and writing them in expanded form, then converting them back to standard form.
How can my child avoid mistakes when comparing decimals?
Ask your child to line up the decimal points and compare digits place by place from left to right. This prevents mistakes such as treating the decimal part like a whole number.
Are these worksheets useful for rounding decimals?
Yes. They support rounding by strengthening place value first, so children can identify the target place and check the digit to its right before rounding.
Can these printables be used for revision before decimal operations?
Yes. Strong place value understanding helps children add, subtract, compare, and round decimals more accurately, so these sheets work well as revision before decimal operations.
Is this Class 5 place value 6 digit decimals worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
