Fractions To Decimals Practice Activities
Class 3 learners connect fractions to decimal notation by shading grids, locating points on number lines, and converting tenths and hundredths.
Practice that builds confidence
Tenths Grids First
Children explore the link between fractions and decimals using visual models—tenths grids, hundredths squares, and number lines. Activities start with naming shaded parts as both a fraction and a decimal, then progress to writing equivalents like 3/10 = 0.3 and 47/100 = 0.47.
The collection includes grid-shading tasks, number-line labelling, matching cards, and simple word problems involving money (rupees and paise) and measurement (metres and centimetres).
A 10 × 1 grid represents one whole. Students shade 4 cells, write 4/10, then 0.4. The visual reinforces that the first decimal place counts tenths. Blank grids let them create their own examples.
Hundredths Squares
A 10 × 10 square introduces hundredths. Shading 23 small squares yields 23/100 and 0.23. Side-by-side comparison pages show 3/10 and 30/100 on separate grids, proving 0.3 = 0.30.
Number-Line Connections
Number lines marked 0 to 1 with ten intervals (tenths) and then one hundred intervals (hundredths) help children locate 0.6 and 0.64. They write the fraction above each point, seeing the density of hundredths.
Money & Measurement Contexts
Indian currency makes decimals concrete: ₹1 = 100 paise. Tasks convert ₹4.75 to 475 paise and back. Similarly, 1 m = 100 cm lets students rewrite 0.85 m as 85 cm, linking length to the hundredths grid.
Parent Routine & Teacher Tips
At home, use a 100-square floor tile or printed grid; toss a coin, shade that many squares, say the fraction and decimal. In class, run "Decimal Bingo": call "forty-seven hundredths", learners cover 0.47 or 47/100.
Common Errors to Watch
• Writing 3/10 as 0.03 (confusing tenths with hundredths) • Thinking 0.5 and 0.50 are different values • Reading 0.47 as "zero point forty-seven" instead of "forty-seven hundredths"
Kid-Friendly Strategy
"Shade it, say it, write it twice." Colour the grid, read aloud "twenty-three hundredths", then record 23/100 and 0.23.

Why iBloom Worksheets Help
The fraction-to-decimal bridge is built on area models and number lines—representations recommended by NCERT—before any procedural rule. Children see equivalence, not just memorise "move the decimal."
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Do these worksheets cover thousandths?
No. Class 3 focuses on tenths and hundredths only, matching the NCERT scope for this level.
Are the money problems in rupees and paise?
Yes. All currency examples use ₹ and paise (100 paise = ₹1) to reinforce the hundredths concept.
Is there practice converting 0.3 to 0.30 addressed?
Dedicated comparison pages show 3/10 and 30/100 on grids and number lines so children see they name the same quantity.
Can I print the grids in colour?
PDFs are black-line masters; printing on coloured paper or letting children shade with crayons works well.
What prior fraction knowledge is assumed?
Students should recognise unit fractions (1/10, 1/100) and understand the denominator as total equal parts.
Is this class 3 fractions to decimals worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this class 3 fractions to decimals worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
Does this class 3 fractions to decimals worksheet include answers or an answer key?
When the activity has fixed answers, iBloom includes answer support so parents and teachers can check the completed worksheet.
