Lesson 3 - Read and Write Decimals Review is a free printable Grade 5 mathematics worksheet with an answer key. It focuses on converting decimal representations among expanded form, standard form, and word form, including decimals with tenths, hundredths, and thousandths and zeros in place-value positions. The 10-question review includes eight fill-in-the-blank items, one multiple-select question, and one open-ended explanation. Students write decimals from place-value expressions and verbal descriptions, identify equivalent expressions for the weight of ten coins, write decimals in words, and evaluate whether an expanded-form representation is correct. The open-ended item asks students to explain a place-value error, giving teachers evidence of conceptual understanding rather than answer recall.

This Grade 5 worksheet helps students convert decimals among expanded form, standard form, and word form. Its 10 items include eight fill-in-the-blank conversions, a multiple-select problem about equivalent expressions for ten groups of 0.327, and an open-ended check of whether an expanded form correctly represents 5.803.
Use the fill-in-the-blank items to model how each digit’s place value determines its contribution, especially when zeros hold a tenths or hundredths place. Then have students justify the multiple-select equivalences and explain the expanded-form example for 5.803, using those responses to connect procedural conversions with place-value reasoning.
Watch for students dropping placeholder zeros in numbers such as 3.054, 6.005, and 0.963, or confusing hundredths with thousandths when translating words into digits. In the multiple-select item, students may treat 0.327 as the weight of ten coins rather than one coin, and in the open-ended item they may omit the 8/100 contribution when checking 5.803 in expanded form.
The worksheet is available on Wayground as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz, and it includes a complete answer key for the standard-form, word-form, equivalent-expression, and explanation items. Printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app, while the digital quiz supports online completion and grading.
In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size to make the decimal conversion prompts and open-ended explanation easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language while keeping its fill-in-the-blank, multiple-select, and open-ended formats.
