Questions about Order Decimals

What does the Order Decimals worksheet cover?

It practices placing several decimals in sequence — 8 questions for Grade 5, all on Common Core 5.NBT.A.3: Read, write and compare decimals. The instruction to students is “Write the numbers in order”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

Which Common Core standard does Order Decimals practice?

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.3 — 5.NBT.A.3, under Number & Operations in Base Ten for Grade 5. The published standard reads: “Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.

What age or grade is this worksheet for?

Order Decimals is written for Grade 5, typically ages 10-11. It is one of the sheets on 5.NBT.A.3, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.

Does Order Decimals come with an answer key?

Yes. All 8 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.

How many different versions of Order Decimals can I print?

25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.

Is Order Decimals free to print and photocopy?

Yes. Order Decimals, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
