Multiplying Decimals By Decimals 0 2 Decimal Digits Practice Activities
Class 6 maths worksheets for multiplying decimals by decimals with 0, 1, or 2 decimal digits using place value, vertical sums, and word problems.
Practice that builds confidence
What the skill includes
These Class 6 maths worksheets help children practise multiplying decimals by decimals where each factor may have 0, 1, or 2 decimal digits. Learners move from simple products such as 0.4 × 0.3 to calculations involving hundredths, place value, and carefully placed decimal points.
The printable activities include vertical multiplication, horizontal sums, missing-number items, and word problems connected to money, measurement, and quantity. They fit naturally within Mathematics > Class 6 > Decimals Multiplication after pupils know whole-number multiplication and tenths/hundredths.
This collection focuses only on multiplying decimals by decimals, not adding, subtracting, or dividing them. Children work with factors that may be whole numbers, tenths, or hundredths, so they must understand that 2 × 0.4, 0.2 × 0.4, and 0.20 × 0.40 have different place-value meanings even when the digits look familiar.
How the practice progresses
Worksheets begin with clear decimal placement and familiar facts, then build towards products with two decimal places in each factor. Pupils practise counting total decimal digits in the factors, multiplying as if the numbers are whole numbers, and placing the decimal point in the product. Area-style thinking can also help: 0.6 × 0.7 means 6 tenths of 7 tenths, or 42 hundredths.
A simple routine for parents
At home, ask your child to read the sum aloud first: “three tenths multiplied by two tenths.” Let them estimate before calculating; for example, 0.8 × 0.5 should be less than 0.8. After solving, ask them to underline the decimal digits in both factors and count them again to check the answer. Use everyday examples such as rupees, metres, kilograms, or litres when the worksheet has word problems.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages for guided practice after a place-value demonstration, maths centres, partner checking, or quick revision before mixed decimal multiplication. A useful classroom approach is to have pupils solve one row, then compare only the decimal placement with a partner before checking the final product.
Common errors to watch for
Many children align decimal points as they would in addition, forget zeros in products such as 0.05 × 0.2, or place the decimal point by “where it looks right.” Some also think multiplying always makes a number larger. Encourage them to estimate and notice that multiplying by a decimal less than 1 gives a smaller product.

Why iBloom worksheets help
The iBloom activities give repeated but varied practice, so pupils do not simply memorise a rule. They meet vertical sums, missing products, and short problems that require the same idea in different forms. Child-friendly strategy: multiply the digits first, count decimal places second, then use an estimate to ask, “Does my answer make sense?”
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What does 0 to 2 decimal digits mean in these worksheets?
It means the numbers being multiplied may be whole numbers or decimals with one or two digits after the decimal point, such as 4, 0.7, 1.25, or 0.03.
How should a Class 6 child place the decimal point in the answer?
They should multiply the digits as whole numbers, count the total number of decimal digits in both factors, and then place the same number of decimal digits in the product.
Why is 0.6 × 0.4 equal to 0.24 and not 2.4?
Because 0.6 is six tenths and 0.4 is four tenths. Six times four is 24, and tenths multiplied by tenths give hundredths, so the answer is 24 hundredths, or 0.24.
Are these worksheets suitable before learning division of decimals?
Yes. These activities focus on decimal multiplication and are appropriate once children are comfortable with whole-number multiplication and place value for tenths and hundredths.
What mistakes should I check when my child solves decimal multiplication?
Check whether they counted all decimal digits, kept zeros when needed, estimated the size of the answer, and did not align decimal points as they would in addition.
