Free decimal worksheets (grades 3-7)

This worksheet generator produces decimal worksheets for any of the four basic operations, and thus suits any grade level (3, 4, 5, 6, 7). You can make easy mental math decimal problems, or worksheets about multiplying by 10 or by 100. You can create problems in the horizontal form, or create long addition/subtraction/multiplication/division problems (in columns) by choosing the "vertical" form.

You can have the generator vary the number of decimals, or stick to a certain number of decimal digits for the numbers in the problems. When doing division, you can force the answers to terminate by ticking the box for "terminating division after max ___ more digits". Zero digits here will force division to terminate in the same number of decimal digits as what the dividend has.

Experiment with the options as you like, or choose from the ready-made worksheets list below.
