Mathematics
This free printable Grade 5 mathematics worksheet develops skill with adding and subtracting decimals to the hundredths place. Students complete 12 fill-in-the-blank computations involving decimals and whole numbers, including problems that require regrouping, then solve three multiple-choice application questions about package weight, measurement differences, and money. The worksheet also asks students to estimate sums and differences, including multi-term decimal sums and everyday spending situations. These items help students connect accurate decimal computation with reasonable estimation and real-world problem solving. It is suitable for independent practice, classwork, homework, or a quick check of understanding for 5.NBT.7. A complete answer key is included with the free printable worksheet.

This Grade 5 worksheet practices adding and subtracting decimals to the hundredths place, including operations with whole numbers and estimation of sums and differences. Its 15 items combine 12 fill-in-the-blank computations with three multiple-choice word problems about weight, measurement, and money, helping students apply decimal operations accurately and judge whether an estimate is reasonable.
Begin by modeling how to align decimal points and regroup across tenths and hundredths, then work through one computation from the fill-in-the-blank section with students. After guided practice, have students solve the remaining calculations and discuss how the package, bracelet-string, and money problems show when to add, subtract, or estimate.
Watch for students lining up digits by the right edge instead of aligning the decimal points, especially in problems such as 45.76 + 32.8 and 30 − 17.86. Students may also skip regrouping when subtracting from a whole number, choose the wrong operation in the word problems, or give an exact-looking answer instead of rounding for the estimation items.
The 5.NBT.7 Adding & Subtracting Decimals worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for checking all 15 responses. For printable submissions, scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to help grade the completed decimal calculations and application questions.
In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size to make the decimal computations and answer choices easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language while preserving its fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice format.
