Decimal Place Value Worksheet

Worksheet Title: Decimal Place Value: Write Decimals as Fractions with a Model

Description:

This worksheet is designed to help students understand the relationship between decimals and fractions through the use of visual models. It focuses on place value, showing how decimals can be written as fractions by using base-ten blocks, grids, or other visual aids.

Students will be given a variety of decimal numbers (up to the hundredths or thousandths place) and asked to represent these decimals as fractions. For each problem, a visual model is provided to help them see how the decimal relates to a fraction (e.g., 0.25 shown as 25 out of 100 squares shaded on a grid, representing the fraction 25/100).

Key skills reinforced include:
– Understanding place value (tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.)
– Converting decimals to fractions
– Using visual models to make sense of decimal-fraction equivalency

This worksheet is ideal for students building foundational skills in decimal-fraction conversion, helping them develop a deeper understanding of how decimals are part of the whole number system.
