Building decimal multiplication sense
These Class 6 decimals multiplication worksheets help children practise multiplying decimal numbers accurately in maths. Learners work with decimals up to 4 decimal digits, whole-number factors, two-decimal products, and column multiplication layouts.
The printable activities include multiplying decimals by 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and 100000, solving missing factor questions, and handling easy to harder whole number and decimal combinations. Each worksheet builds fluency while keeping place value at the centre.
Children first need to see that multiplying decimals follows whole-number multiplication, but the decimal point must be placed using place value. In these sheets, they multiply whole numbers and decimals with 1 to 3 decimal digits, then extend to two decimal numbers with 0 to 4 decimal digits in column form. This progression helps them connect 3 × 0.4, 12 × 1.25, and 0.6 × 0.08 without treating the decimal point as a guess.
Powers of 10 practice
A major part of this collection focuses on multiplying decimals by 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and 100000. Children practise shifting digits to the left as the value becomes 10 times, 100 times, or 1000 times larger. Questions with missing factors, such as finding what a decimal was multiplied by to get a larger number, strengthen reverse thinking and place-value reasoning.
Column work and missing factors
The column multiplication pages support neat alignment and step-by-step calculation. Learners multiply as if the numbers are whole numbers, count decimal places in the factors, and place the decimal in the product. Missing factor problems ask children to use inverse operations and known facts instead of only repeating procedures.
Routine for parents
At home, choose one short set from the same skill for two days, then mix it with a different type. Ask your child to say the estimate first: “Should the answer be bigger or smaller?” For example, 4 × 2.5 should be about 10, while 0.3 × 0.2 should be much less than 1. This habit catches many decimal placement errors.
Classroom use and errors to watch
Teachers can use the easier pages for warm-ups, column multiplication sheets for guided practice, and missing factor worksheets for revision or maths centres. Common errors include moving the decimal in the wrong direction when multiplying by 10 or 100, lining up decimals unnecessarily in multiplication, and forgetting zeros in products such as 0.04 × 0.2.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The worksheets move from direct powers-of-10 facts to decimal-by-whole-number and decimal-by-decimal multiplication, then to harder missing factor questions. A child-friendly strategy is: multiply the digits, count decimal places, place the point, and check with an estimate.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What decimal multiplication skills are covered in these Class 6 worksheets?
They cover multiplying decimals by whole numbers, multiplying two decimals, multiplying by 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and 100000, column multiplication, and missing factor problems.
How should my child place the decimal point in decimal multiplication?
A useful method is to multiply the digits as whole numbers, count the total decimal places in the factors, then place the same number of decimal places in the product. An estimate should be used to check if the answer is sensible.
Do these worksheets include multiplying decimals by powers of 10?
Yes. Children practise multiplying decimals by 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and 100000, including questions where the multiplying factor is missing.
Are there worksheets for decimal multiplication in column form?
Yes. The collection includes column multiplication for decimal by whole number problems and for multiplying two decimals with up to 3 or 4 decimal digits.
What common mistakes should children watch for?
Children often move digits in the wrong direction when multiplying by powers of 10, line up decimal points as if adding, or forget placeholder zeros in small decimal products. Estimating first helps prevent these errors.
