Multiplying Decimals By 10 100 Or 1000 Practice Activities
Printable Class 6 maths practice for multiplying decimal numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 using place value, zeros and careful decimal placement.
Practice that builds confidence
Build place-value confidence
These Class 6 mathematics worksheets help children practise multiplying decimals by 10, 100 and 1000 with confidence. Learners see how each digit changes place value, so they understand why 4.83 × 10 becomes 48.3 and 0.276 × 1000 becomes 276.
The printable activities include focused decimal multiplication questions, mixed practice and space to show working. Children practise moving digits, adding placeholder zeros where needed, checking answers mentally and spotting common decimal point mistakes.
Multiplying decimals by 10, 100 or 1000 is not just a shortcut; it is a place-value idea. Each time a number is multiplied by 10, every digit becomes ten times as large and shifts one place to the left in value. With 100 it shifts two places, and with 1000 it shifts three places. These worksheets keep the focus on this pattern so children connect the rule with meaning.
What the practice covers
The questions move from simple decimals such as 6.4 × 10 to numbers with more decimal places, including values less than 1 such as 0.08 × 100 or 0.503 × 1000. Some problems need zeros to hold empty places, while others result in whole numbers. This progression helps learners read decimal numbers accurately, use tenths, hundredths and thousandths vocabulary, and avoid guessing where the decimal point should go.
A simple parent routine
At home, ask your child to solve five questions aloud. Before writing the answer, let them say, “Multiply by 10 means one place; by 100 means two places; by 1000 means three places.” Then ask them to estimate whether the answer should be larger than the original number. Finish by checking one answer using a place-value chart or by comparing with money-style decimals, when suitable.
Classroom and revision uses
Teachers can use these printables for warm-ups, decimal multiplication revision, maths centres, homework or quick assessment after teaching powers of 10. They also work well for partner checking: one child solves while another explains the movement of digits. Mixed questions make it easy to see who understands the pattern and who is only copying a mechanical rule.
Common errors to watch for
Children may move the decimal point the wrong way, forget to add placeholder zeros, or treat 0.05 × 100 as 0.500 instead of 5. Another frequent mistake is counting digits after the decimal rather than counting the number of places required by 10, 100 or 1000. Encourage neat alignment and rereading the multiplier before answering.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What will my child practise in these worksheets?
Your child will practise multiplying decimal numbers by 10, 100 and 1000, including decimals with tenths, hundredths and thousandths. The focus is on place value, decimal placement and using zeros correctly.
Should children move the decimal point or move the digits?
For understanding, it is better to think of the digits changing place value. Many children use the shortcut of moving the decimal point to the right, but the worksheet practice supports the deeper idea that each digit becomes 10, 100 or 1000 times larger.
Why do some answers need extra zeros?
Extra zeros are used as placeholders when there are not enough digits to move the required number of places. For example, 0.7 × 100 = 70 because the 7 moves two places to become seven tens.
Are these worksheets suitable for revision before decimal multiplication with other numbers?
Yes. Multiplying by 10, 100 and 1000 is an important foundation before children multiply decimals by whole numbers or by other decimals. It strengthens place-value understanding and mental calculation.
What mistake should I check first when reviewing answers?
First check whether the child counted the zeros in the multiplier correctly. Multiplying by 10 needs one place, by 100 needs two places and by 1000 needs three places.
