This resource is designed to help students develop a strong grasp of decimal place value, extending beyond hundredths to thousandths and beyond. The worksheets focus on identifying place value, writing decimals in expanded form, and understanding how each digit's position affects its value.

How to Complete:

1. Section 1: Students will identify the place value of an underlined digit.
2. Section 2: Students will convert decimal numbers into expanded form.
3. Section 3: Students will match decimal numbers to their correct expanded forms.
4. Section 4: Students will explain how the value of a specific digit changes in different decimal numbers.

Additional Tips:

1. Use a place value chart to reinforce the positional value of digits.
2. Start with whole numbers and tenths before progressing to hundredths and thousandths for students needing extra support.
3. Encourage verbal explanations before writing responses to deepen understanding.

Extension Ideas:

1. Create Your Own Decimal: Have students generate a decimal and write it in different forms.
2. Compare Decimals: Give students two decimal numbers and ask them to explain which is greater and why.
3. Real-World Connections: Link to real-life data, such as measurements in sports or distances in geography.

This resource is included in the Year 5 Maths Unit – Decimals: Tenths, Hundredths & Thousandths.
