Use this page when you want 6th grade dividing decimals worksheets in the next thirty seconds: choose how many problems you want, press print, and the answer key comes out on its own page behind the worksheet. The version loaded below opens with items in the shape of 6.6 ÷ 3 and 39.0 ÷ 5; the key lists 2.2 and 7.8 next to their question numbers.
‘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.
This sheet uses a one-place decimal divided by a single digit, and the divisions are chosen to terminate rather than repeat, so answers stay clean, and a typical line looks like 54.6 ÷ 7.
Writing the point in the quotient before starting the division is the habit that prevents most errors here.
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 6th grade dividing decimals worksheets travel well.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6.6 ÷ 3 = | 2.2 | Watch for: placing the quotient point at the end |
| 2 | 39.0 ÷ 5 = | 7.8 | Check: losing a zero in the quotient |
| 3 | 7.2 ÷ 3 = | 2.4 | Look at: moving the point in only one number |
| 4 | 12.0 ÷ 8 = | 1.5 | Ask about: ignoring the estimate |
| 5 | 54.6 ÷ 7 = | 7.8 | Watch for: rounding too early |
| 6 | 12.8 ÷ 8 = | 1.6 | Check: stopping at the remainder |
Here is one worked through. 39.0 ÷ 5 gives 7.8. If your child arrives somewhere other than 7.8 on 39.0 ÷ 5, look at the working rather than the answer: nearly every wrong result comes from a skipped step, not an unknown fact.
Take the first problem on the sheet as it stands, 6.6 ÷ 3. Work 6.6 ÷ 3 out on paper rather than in your head the first few times, say each step aloud, and check the result against 2.2 on the key before moving on.
Every generated sheet carries its own key on a separate printed page, which lets a child self-mark without seeing the answers while they work.
Answers appear next to their question numbers, so a wrong item like 39.0 ÷ 5 can be found in the key in a second and re-worked while it is still fresh.
For a class set, print one sheet, press the new-worksheet button and print again. Each child gets different numbers on the same skill, so nobody can copy the answer to 6.6 ÷ 3 from a neighbour.
Printing works the same on US Letter and A4, because the layout uses relative widths rather than fixed inches. Set margins to default and scaling to 100%, and all 20 problems fit.
Print a sheet of 6th grade dividing decimals worksheets, run it for 12 minutes, mark it together, and come back tomorrow for a different set of numbers on the same skill.
