Multiply Decimals By Whole Numbers 0 3 Decimal Digits Column Practice Activities
Class 6 maths worksheets for multiplying decimals with 0 to 3 decimal digits by whole numbers using clear column multiplication practice.
Practice that builds confidence
What this skill covers
These Class 6 maths worksheets help children practise multiplying decimals by whole numbers in column form, including numbers with 0, 1, 2, or 3 decimal digits. Learners strengthen place value, multiplication facts, and decimal point placement through repeated written practice.
The printable activities include carefully arranged column problems, from straightforward whole-number products to decimal numbers such as tenths, hundredths, and thousandths multiplied by whole numbers. They are useful for revision, homework, extra practice, or building confidence after decimals multiplication has been introduced.
Children learn to multiply a decimal number by a whole number using the familiar column method. The decimal factor may have no decimal digits or up to three decimal digits, so pupils see how 24 × 3 connects to 2.4 × 3, 0.24 × 3, and 0.024 × 3. This supports the key idea that multiplication can be done with the digits first, then the decimal point is placed using the number of decimal places in the original decimal.
Progression in the practice
The worksheets move from simpler products to examples that require carrying and careful alignment. A child may solve 4 × 3.2, then 7 × 5.46, and later 8 × 0.375. Writing the work in columns helps children keep digits organised and notice the place value of tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. Problems with a whole-number decimal factor also remind them that 6.0 has the same value as 6 but may appear differently in decimal work.
A simple parent routine
Ask your child to read the decimal aloud before solving, for example, “two and thirty-five hundredths”. Next, let them multiply as if the decimal point were not there. After the product is found, have them count the decimal digits in the decimal factor and place the point in the answer. End by estimating: 2.35 × 4 is close to 2 × 4 or 2.5 × 4, so an answer near 9 or 10 is reasonable.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these sheets for guided practice after modelling column multiplication on the board, as maths centres, for morning revision, or as quick checks before moving to multiplying decimals by decimals. They also work well for mixed-ability groups because the same method is reinforced while the decimal places and regrouping demands vary.
Common errors to watch for
Children may align the decimal points as if they were adding, forget to count decimal digits, or place the decimal point after counting digits in both factors even though the second factor is a whole number. Some may drop zeros in thousandths too early, turning 0.408 into 0.48. Encourage neat columns and a final reasonableness check.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What decimal places are included in these worksheets?
The practice includes decimal numbers with 0, 1, 2, and 3 decimal digits, so children work with whole numbers, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths multiplied by whole numbers.
Should children line up decimal points in column multiplication?
No. In this skill, children multiply the digits in column form and then place the decimal point by counting the decimal digits in the decimal factor.
How can my child check if the decimal point is in the right place?
Ask them to estimate before or after solving. For example, 3.8 × 5 should be close to 4 × 5, so an answer around 20 is sensible, not 1.90 or 190.
Are these worksheets suitable for extra Class 6 revision?
Yes. They focus only on multiplying decimals by whole numbers in column form, making them useful for homework, revision, or strengthening a recently taught topic.
What is a common mistake with thousandths?
Children sometimes lose a zero or count the decimal places incorrectly. For 0.408 × 6, they should keep the three decimal places in mind when placing the point in the product.
