Divide Decimals and Round to Thousandths

Have students place the point in the quotient before they divide. Use the work space under each bracket and check each answer by multiplying.

Divide 6 decimals like 11.9 ÷ 6 to the ten-thousandths place and round each quotient to thousandths. The directions on the page read: Divide to the ten-thousandths place. Then round the quotient to the nearest thousandth and write it on the line. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 6th Grade decimal division, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with long division of decimals. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

Write a zero when there is a remainder and no digits are left to bring down. On Long Division of Decimals by 1-Digit Numbers, 22.9 ÷ 5 becomes 22.90 ÷ 5 = 4.58.

Write a point and zeros after the dividend and keep dividing. On Whole Number Division With Decimal Quotients, 161 ÷ 28 = 5.75, and 85 ÷ 59 does not end, so it rounds to 1.441.

Divide to the ten-thousandths place, then look at that digit. On Divide Decimals and Round to Thousandths, 76.2 ÷ 9 = 8.4666, so the quotient rounds up to 8.467.
