Free Dividing Decimals Worksheets

January 10, 2015 By Mercedes Hutchens Leave a Comment

Check out these FREE dividing decimals worksheets! Dividing decimals is challenging for 5th graders. Let’s check out a helpful strategy and some worksheets.

When I was a fifth grade math teacher, dividing decimals was a challenge for my students.  I taught the lesson that went with our curriculum and they were lost.  So, I made a PowerPoint to help them practice the two main strategies for dividing decimals.

Line up the Decimal

The first strategy for dividing decimals works when the decimal is in the dividend.

The Decimal Dance

The next strategy for dividing decimals is for when there is a decimal in the divisor.

When I introduce the decimal dance, I find two volunteers that I know love to put on a show.  I have them stand side by side and do a simple dance where they step to the right at the same time.  It makes me smile and it helps them to remember the strategy.

Now that I’m an intervention teacher, I don’t have a curriculum with problems or work sheets.  So, I added a dozens of slides to the PowerPoint.  Some of the slides are a contest to beat the computer.  It was funny seeing how excited my 6th graders were to be able to divide decimals quickly when they came into intervention saying this skill was too hard.

If you already purchased my Divide Decimals PowerPoint, be sure to download the lastest update!
