Grade 5 Math · Chapter 1, Lesson 3

Practice sheets

5 sheets for Thousandths. Same topic on every one, but each asks for a different kind of thinking — so a child who has finished one has not simply done the next one already.

  1. 1. Say what it is worthNaming the place, which is what the digits after the point actually mean.
  2. 2. What is the digit worth?A digit is worth its place, not itself — the whole point of the notation.
  3. 3. Which is bigger?The misconception this topic turns on: a longer decimal is not a bigger one.
  4. 4. Find the mistakeThree ways of reading a decimal as though it were a whole number.
  5. 5. Put them in orderComparing three at once, where a single trick cannot carry a child through.
