Start with a ready-made worksheet
Read the whole and fractional parts. Write the numeral using exactly one, two or three decimal places as named in the prompt.
Download the practice pages alone, or include a separate answer key or teacher model. Longer activities may use more than one page.

Each sheet has ten unique values and a separate answer key. Writing activities keep enough space for the complete response; matching activities keep all ten lettered choices on the same page as the questions.
Decimal names use fractional units such as hundredths. Number words and punctuation follow the selected worksheet language.
Learning objective
What this activity builds
Use a fractional unit to determine the exact number of digits required after the decimal separator.
Worked example
Write five and six thousandths as a decimal.
5.006
Thousandths require three places after the point. Write 006 for six thousandths, keeping the first two fractional positions as zeros.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Underline the unit word before writing any digits. It determines the decimal width.
- For thirty hundredths, write 0.30. Although 0.3 has the same value, the two-place form shows the named unit.
- Whole parts range from zero to nine when zeros are allowed. The fractional part always has the selected precision.
- Use no-zero practice for a first lesson, then allow zeros to introduce empty places and trailing-zero values.
- Ask learners to read their numeral back using the named fractional unit rather than only reading each digit aloud.
- The teacher key preserves trailing zeros so both value and written precision can be checked.
