Every sheet of dividing decimals worksheets on this page is built the moment you open it, so the 20 problems below are not the same ones the last visitor printed, and the answer key is generated with them. The current sheet starts with problems like 27.3 ÷ 7 and 48.6 ÷ 6, and the answers (3.9 and 8.1) are printed on the key so marking takes about a minute.
‘New set of problems’ opens the generator in its own tab. There you can change the problem count and turn the answer key on or off. ‘Print or save as PDF’ opens the print dialog — choose Save as PDF in the printer list to keep the file. The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.
Because the sheet regenerates, the point lands in a different position each time and cannot be copied from the previous answer.
When the divisor itself is a decimal, both numbers are multiplied by a power of ten first so the divisor becomes whole. The value of the quotient does not change, which is the part worth explaining once.
Writing the point in the quotient before starting the division is the habit that prevents most errors here.
Estimation still works: a rough version of 48.6 ÷ 6 tells the child roughly what 8.1 should be, which is enough to catch a misplaced point.
Work of this kind is commonly aligned with the decimal division expectations for this grade; schools outside the US meet the same skill at roughly the same age, which is why these dividing decimals worksheets travel well.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 27.3 ÷ 7 = | 3.9 | Watch for: stopping at the remainder |
| 2 | 48.6 ÷ 6 = | 8.1 | Check: losing a zero in the quotient |
| 3 | 34.2 ÷ 6 = | 5.7 | Look at: ignoring the estimate |
| 4 | 27.2 ÷ 8 = | 3.4 | Ask about: rounding too early |
| 5 | 16.2 ÷ 6 = | 2.7 | Watch for: placing the quotient point at the end |
| 6 | 9.6 ÷ 3 = | 3.2 | Check: moving the point in only one number |
Work 27.2 ÷ 8 out loud as a demonstration. It gives 3.4. Children who hear 27.2 ÷ 8 reasoned through once at the start of a session make noticeably fewer errors in the ten minutes that follow.
A good first problem to do together is 27.3 ÷ 7, which comes out at 3.9. Do 27.3 ÷ 7 once with the child narrating, then hand over the pencil and start the clock on the other 20 problems.
Because the numbers are random, there is no shared answer list to look up: the key printed behind your sheet is the only one that fits it, and it shows 3.9 for 27.3 ÷ 7.
The key prints on its own page by default. Uncheck the answer-key box before printing if you would rather keep it back and mark the sheet yourself.
If the problems look cramped, drop the count from 20 to a smaller number before printing these dividing decimals worksheets; the font stays the same size and the spacing opens up.
Portrait orientation is what the sheet is designed for. Landscape works but wastes about a third of the paper, so leave the orientation alone unless you have a reason.
One sheet of dividing decimals worksheets a day for two weeks will tell you more about where a child working at this level actually stands than any single long assessment.
