Dividing 1 2 Digit Decimals By Whole Numbers Practice Activities
Class 6 maths worksheets for practising division of one- and two-decimal-place numbers by whole numbers using place value and long division.
Practice that builds confidence
Build from place value
These Class 6 maths practice activities help children divide decimals with one or two decimal places by whole numbers, such as 4.8 ÷ 3, 12.6 ÷ 6, and 7.35 ÷ 5. The focus is on understanding place value, keeping the decimal point in the correct position, and checking whether the answer is reasonable.
The printable worksheets include step-by-step division sums, mixed practice, word-style questions, and answer-friendly layouts. Children practise moving from simple decimal quotients to longer calculations where careful alignment of digits is needed.
Dividing decimals by whole numbers becomes easier when children see the decimal as tenths and hundredths. For example, 4.8 ÷ 3 can be read as 48 tenths shared into 3 equal groups. This supports the written method instead of making the decimal point feel like a rule to memorise.
Progress through written division
The worksheets move from direct divisions with clean answers to sums that need more careful working. Children practise placing the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend, dividing digit by digit, and using zero as a placeholder when needed. Suitable examples include one-decimal-place and two-decimal-place dividends divided by single-digit or small whole numbers.
A simple home routine
Parents can begin with 3 warm-up facts, such as 36 ÷ 6 or 48 ÷ 4, then connect them to decimals: 3.6 ÷ 6 or 4.8 ÷ 4. Ask your child to estimate first: “Will the answer be more or less than the number we started with?” After solving, let them check by multiplying the quotient by the divisor.
Classroom use
Teachers can use these printables for guided maths practice, homework, revision before a decimals test, or small-group support. A board demonstration with place-value columns, followed by independent worksheet practice, helps pupils connect the layout of long division with tenths and hundredths.
Common errors to watch for
Many children drop the decimal point, shift it to the wrong place, or forget to write a zero when a place has no value. Some divide only the whole-number part and ignore the decimal digits. Encourage neat columns, one digit per box or space, and a final multiplication check.

These activities give repeated, focused practice without mixing in unrelated decimal skills. The progression helps Class 6 learners gain fluency while still thinking about meaning. A child-friendly strategy is: estimate, divide neatly, place the decimal, then multiply back to check.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What skill do these Class 6 worksheets practise?
They practise dividing decimal numbers with one or two decimal places by whole numbers, using place value understanding and written division.
How should my child place the decimal point in the answer?
In the standard written method, the decimal point in the quotient is placed directly above the decimal point in the dividend, then the division continues digit by digit.
Are these worksheets suitable before learning division of decimals by decimals?
Yes. Dividing decimals by whole numbers is an important step before children move on to dividing by decimal numbers.
What is a good way to check an answer?
Multiply the quotient by the whole-number divisor. If the product matches the original decimal dividend, the division is correct.
What mistakes are common in this topic?
Common mistakes include misplacing the decimal point, ignoring hundredths, leaving out placeholder zeros, and not checking whether the quotient is reasonable.
Is this Class 6 dividing decimals by whole numbers 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 dividing decimals by whole numbers 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 dividing decimals by whole numbers 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.
