Frequently Asked Questions
What place value skills do 5th graders learn?
Fifth graders extend place value to decimals through the thousandths, recognize that each place value is ten times the position to its right, and read, write, and compare decimals.
Why do students think 0.7 is bigger than 0.67?
Comparing only the number of digits leads to that mistake. Comparing digit by digit from the tenths place makes it clear that 0.7 (seven tenths) is larger than 0.67 (six tenths and seven hundredths).
Are these place value worksheets free and printable?
Yes. Every worksheet is a free, printable PDF with an answer key, and no sign-up is required.
