Decimal - Three Decimal Places - Worksheet

This comprehensive worksheet from masterthecurriculum.co.uk is designed to enhance Year 6 students' fluency and precision in working with numbers up to three decimal places. It aligns with the National Curriculum objective of identifying the value of each digit in numbers with three decimal places and multiplying numbers by 10, 100, and 1,000 to give answers with up to three decimal places. To facilitate learning, the worksheet provides differentiated sheets, teaching slides, and place value counters or charts. Key vocabulary terms such as decimals, place value, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths are emphasized to support the lesson.

Students begin by revisiting their understanding of numbers with three decimal places, focusing on the value of digits in each place value column. Through hands-on activities using concrete resources, they explore the concept of exchanging between columns—for example, understanding that 3 tenths is equivalent to 30 hundredths. The worksheet includes a variety of tasks that challenge students to represent numbers on a place value chart, identify the value of specific digits, and solve problems that require reasoning and a deep understanding of decimal place value. Key questions prompt learners to think critically about the relationships between different place values and how to construct numbers using this knowledge.
