Questions about Read and Write Decimals

What does the Read and Write Decimals worksheet cover?

It practises expanded form for decimals — 12 questions for Grade 5, all on Common Core 5.NBT.A.3: Read, write and compare decimals. The instruction to pupils is “Fill in the missing number”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.3 — 5.NBT.A.3, in the Number & Operations in Base Ten domain 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?

Does Read and Write Decimals come with an answer key?

Yes. All 12 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 Read and Write Decimals can I print?

25 — one per pupil, 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.
