Decimals Practice

Tenths and hundredths — adding, taking away, multiplying and dividing. Every answer can be explained step by step, and the questions get harder only as you are ready for them.

This activity is for learning and practice. Anything it suggests is indicative only — it is not a formal assessment and not a substitute for a teacher or tutor.

Nothing you answer is sent to Zerdly. Progress is saved on this device only if you switch saving on, and you can delete it at any time. How Kids Maths handles data.

Set your country and age — change

Setting an age keeps the questions at the right level for that age. It does not lock anything — you can still try any topic, at any age, in any order. Levels are a guide only, not a curriculum.

Your age is not saved anywhere. Your country is remembered only if you have switched saving on.

Where would you like to start?

This is a starting point — the questions adjust as you go, and you can change it any time.

Saving your progress

Nothing is being saved. You can practise as much as you like — when you close the tab, the session is gone.

The three things that trip people up

  • Line up the points, not the ends. 4.5 + 0.75 is not 4.5 written above 0.75 flush right. Write a zero on the end of 4.50 so the columns match, and it becomes an ordinary column sum.
  • When multiplying, do the digits first and the point last. 0.4 × 3: work out 4 × 3 = 12, then put the point back — 0.4 has one digit after the point, so the answer does too, giving 1.2.
  • Adding is not gluing two numbers together. 0.7 + 0.5 is 1.2, not 0.12. The tenths made more than one whole, so that whole carries across the point.

School levels

School levels are a guide only. They show where a skill is usually taught in each country and are not taken from, aligned to, or endorsed by any curriculum authority. Your school may cover it earlier or later.
