Building decimal division sense
These Class 6 decimals division worksheets help children practise sharing and grouping with decimal numbers, including whole-number dividends that give decimal quotients and decimals divided by whole numbers or decimals.
The printable activities include division by 10, 100, 1000 and larger powers of 10, long division by whole numbers, harder 2-digit divisor questions, rounding quotients, and missing dividend or divisor problems.
Children begin by noticing how digits shift when numbers are divided by 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 100000 and up to 1000000. This prepares them for examples such as whole numbers with decimal quotients and 1-, 2- or 3-digit decimals divided by whole numbers. The focus is not only on calculating, but also on understanding place value, quotient, dividend, divisor and decimal point placement.
Moving from whole-number divisors to decimal divisors
The worksheets progress from long division by 1-digit and 2-digit whole numbers to dividing decimals by 1-digit and 1- to 2-digit decimals. Children meet questions where decimal quotients are whole numbers, as well as harder long division where rounding is needed. Missing dividend and missing divisor questions encourage inverse thinking: if quotient and one part are known, what number must be divided?
A simple parent routine
At home, choose one short set at a time. First ask your child to estimate: “Should the answer be bigger or smaller than the number we started with?” Then solve two examples together, saying the place values aloud. For division by powers of 10, have your child mark the decimal point and move it step by step. For long division, check the answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these sheets for class practice after a decimal division lesson, small-group support, maths centres, quick revision before a test, or homework. Mixed pages are useful for spotting whether a child struggles with the algorithm, place value, rounding, or interpreting missing-number problems.
Common errors to watch for
Many children move the decimal point in the wrong direction when dividing by 10, 100 or 1000. Others forget to add zeros during long division, round too early, or treat a decimal divisor as if it were a whole number without adjusting both numbers. Encourage neat columns and an estimate before the calculation.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What decimal division skills are covered in these Class 6 worksheets?
They cover dividing whole numbers with decimal quotients, dividing decimals by whole numbers, dividing decimals by decimals, division by 10, 100, 1000 and larger powers of 10, long division, rounding, and missing dividend or divisor questions.
How can my child check a decimal division answer?
A good check is to multiply the quotient by the divisor. The product should match the dividend, allowing for small differences if the quotient was rounded.
Why do some questions ask for a missing dividend or divisor?
Missing-number questions build inverse-operation understanding. Children learn that division facts can be checked and completed using multiplication, not just by following a written method.
What is the common mistake when dividing by 10, 100 or 1000?
Children often move the decimal point in the wrong direction. When dividing by powers of 10, the number becomes smaller, so the digits shift to the right in place value and the decimal point appears to move left.
Are these worksheets suitable for revision before exams?
Yes. The collection includes basic, mixed and harder decimal division practice, so it is useful for class revision, homework, and identifying which type of decimal division needs more practice.
Is this Class 6 decimals division worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this Class 6 decimals division 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 6 decimals division worksheet include answers or an answer key?
