Why check rounding on a number line?

The number line shows which tenth or hundredth the number is actually closer to, so the rule makes sense instead of feeling like magic. 5.683 sits nearer 5.68 than 5.69.

How do you show thousandths on a number line?

Zoom in between two hundredths, like 5.12 and 5.13, and split the space into 10 equal parts. Each part is 0.001, so the 4th mark is 5.124.

Which standards do these worksheets support?

The rounding pages support CCSS 5.NBT.A.4 (round decimals to any place) and the number line page supports 5.NBT.A.3 (read and compare decimals to thousandths).

What decimal skills do 5th graders need?

5th graders read, write, compare and round decimals to thousandths (CCSS 5.NBT.A.3 and 5.NBT.A.4), understand place value patterns and powers of 10 (5.NBT.A.1 and 5.NBT.A.2), and add, subtract, multiply and divide decimals to hundredths (5.NBT.B.7).

What order should I teach decimals in 5th grade?

Start with place value to thousandths, then comparing, ordering and rounding. Move to adding and subtracting, then multiplying and dividing. Finish with word problems, mixed operations and a unit review. The subtopics on this page follow that order.

How do I help my child place the decimal point correctly?

Estimate first. Rounding each number to a whole number gives a ballpark answer, so 4.8 x 3.1 should be about 15, which rules out 1.488 and 148.8.

Is there an answer key for each worksheet?

Yes. All 55 sheets have an answer key, and the two page sheets have a two page key.
