Practice that builds confidence
Building the fraction-decimal connection
These Class 6 fractions to decimals worksheets help children connect two important ways of writing the same value. Learners practise writing fractions as decimals, decimals as fractions, decimals as mixed numbers and mixed numbers as decimals.
The printable activities include easy conversions, mixed practice and long division tasks. Children move from familiar denominator and place-value work to more careful questions where they must decide the correct method and form of the answer.
Fractions and decimals both describe parts of a whole, but they look different on the page. These worksheets help Class 6 children see that 3/10 is 0.3, 25/100 is 0.25, and a mixed number such as 2 1/2 can be written as 2.5. The practice begins with place-value-friendly examples before moving into mixed questions that require more thinking.
Skills covered in the set
Children work on writing fractions as decimals, writing decimals as fractions, writing decimals as mixed numbers, and changing mixed numbers into decimals. The long division worksheets support fractions where the denominator does not convert easily to tenths or hundredths. Mixed practice pages ask learners to choose whether to use place value, equivalent fractions or division.
A simple routine for parents
At home, ask your child to read each number aloud before solving: “three fourths”, “zero point seven five” or “one and two tenths”. Then have them explain the method in one sentence. For example, “I divided 3 by 4 to get 0.75” or “0.6 means 6 tenths, so it is 6/10.” After the worksheet, choose two answers and ask the child to convert them back to check.
Classroom use for maths teachers
Teachers can use the easier pages for revision, warm-ups or maths centres, and the long division sheets for guided practice. The mixed worksheets are useful after teaching all conversion methods because they reveal whether students understand the structure of the number, not just a single procedure. A quick board discussion of different methods can help children compare efficiency.
Common errors to watch for
Some learners place digits incorrectly, writing 7/10 as 0.07 instead of 0.7. Others convert 1 3/4 by changing only the fraction part and forgetting the whole number. In long division, children may stop too early or misplace the decimal point in the quotient. When writing decimals as fractions, remind them to simplify only after the correct place-value fraction is written.
