Adding Decimals Worksheets for 5th Grade

What your child practices

Adding Decimals is a key 5th grade math skill (Grade 5 in Canada), and these 50 worksheets add up to 800 questions of practice. In grades 3 to 5, math moves from counting to reasoning, so confidence with Adding Decimals pays off later in multistep problems, measurement and early algebra. Each of the 50 versions of Adding Decimals has new questions, so your child can repeat the skill without memorizing answers. The skill matches Common Core 5.NBT.B.7, the standard for place value and using it to add, subtract, multiply and divide. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Grade 5. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. Before printing, try the Adding Decimals video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

• Encourage your child to show their work. In grades 3 to 5 the method matters as much as the answer.
• Set a timer for ten minutes and stop when it rings. Short, regular practice beats one long session.
• Keep finished sheets in a folder so your child can see progress across the week.
