Connect numerals with their number names

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

Distinguish the whole value, fractional numerator and named unit while matching decimal representations.

Worked example

Match 2.07 with A. two and seven tenths or B. two and seven hundredths.

B

The final digit is in the hundredths place. Choice A means 2.7, which has a different fractional value.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • The default uses hundredths. Tenths and thousandths are additional choices for adjusting the same matching task.
  • Every question on one sheet uses the same precision, so the focus stays on reading the numerator and whole part correctly.
  • The complete word bank and ten numerals share one page. No option needs to be remembered from another page.
  • Zeros may appear before or inside the fractional digits. A value such as 0.04 names zero wholes and four hundredths.
  • Ask learners to say which place distinguishes two similar numbers before choosing a letter.
  • Switch to the decimal writing activities when learners can recognize the matches and are ready to produce each representation.
