The sheet fits US Letter and A4, and the answer key prints on its own page.

What these worksheets cover

The count is simply the total number of decimal places in the two factors. Children who understand that never have to guess where the point goes.

Because each sheet is new, the placement rule has to be applied rather than recalled from a familiar answer.

This sheet uses two one-place decimals, which keeps the whole-number multiplication manageable while still requiring correct placement.

Multiplying decimals is done by ignoring the points, multiplying as whole numbers, and then putting one point back in the right place. That is why 2.1 × 9.4 gives 19.74 — the digits come from a whole-number multiplication and the placement comes from counting decimal places.

Teachers usually place 6th grade multiplying decimals worksheets alongside the decimal multiplication expectations for this grade, which is where the skill sits in the majority of US state frameworks.

Sample problems from the current sheet

These six come from the sheet loaded on this page. Press the button and the numbers change, but the shape stays the same (two one-place decimals).
#ProblemAnswerWhat to check
12.1 × 9.4 =19.74Watch for: dropping a trailing zero before placing the point
21.8 × 8.2 =14.76Check: rounding the factors first
39.6 × 2.3 =22.08Look at: lining up the decimal points
44.6 × 1.4 =6.44Ask about: placing the point by eye
55.1 × 3.4 =17.34Watch for: miscounting the decimal places
68.3 × 9.3 =77.19Check: forgetting the point completely

A worked example from this sheet

The item 1.8 × 8.2 is worth doing slowly. The answer to 1.8 × 8.2 is 14.76, and the route to it is the route every other problem on this sheet takes — which is why the sheet has 20 of them rather than one.

A good first problem to do together is 2.1 × 9.4, which comes out at 19.74. Do 2.1 × 9.4 once with the child narrating, then hand over the pencil and start the clock on the other 20 problems.

The three errors worth watching for

How to use these worksheets at home

  1. Do not raise the number of problems until the accuracy is steady. Going from 20 correct-but-slow problems to more problems only multiplies the same mistake.
  2. Stop the session at the time limit even if the sheet is unfinished, and note where the child got to. A half sheet done well is better data than a whole sheet rushed.
  3. Mark it together straight away while the working is still fresh, so a slip like the one behind 9.6 × 2.3 can be talked through instead of guessed at.
  4. Write the finish time and the score at the top of every sheet. Two weeks of those two numbers tells you more about progress on multiplying decimals than any single test result.
  5. If two days in a row come out under 12 minutes with everything correct, that is the signal to move up: either numbers bigger than 2.1 × 9.4 uses, or the next skill in the sequence.

Marking the sheet

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.

The answer key is generated with the worksheet, not written by hand, so it always matches the sheet in front of you — 2.1 × 9.4 is listed as 19.74, 1.8 × 8.2 as 14.76, and so on down the page.

Printing on US Letter or A4

If the problems look cramped, drop the count from 20 to a smaller number before printing these 6th grade multiplying decimals worksheets; the font stays the same size and the spacing opens up.

To save these 6th grade multiplying decimals worksheets instead of printing them, choose 'Save as PDF' in the printer list. You get the worksheet and the answer key as a single PDF, on Letter or A4 depending on your printer settings.

Frequently asked questions

Should the answer keep trailing zeros?
Usually not — after placing the point, a trailing zero can be dropped. The key on this sheet gives the tidied form.
Are these worksheets really free?
Yes, completely. The page is supported by advertising, not by subscriptions, so there is no limit on how many 6th grade multiplying decimals worksheets you print.
How do I know where the decimal point goes?
Count the decimal places in both factors and put that many in the answer. It is a rule that always works and never needs judgement.
Is the answer key included?
Yes, on its own page behind the worksheet. For the sheet loaded right now it shows 19.74 for 2.1 × 9.4 and 14.76 for 1.8 × 8.2.

One sheet of 6th grade multiplying decimals worksheets a day for two weeks will tell you more about where a 6th grader actually stands than any single long assessment.
