If you need 6th grade multiplying decimals worksheets that you can print right now, this page builds them for you — 20 fresh problems, an answer key underneath, and no account to create first. A typical problem from the sheet in front of you is 2.1 × 9.4, which works out to 19.74; another is 1.8 × 8.2, giving 14.76.
‘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.
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.
| # | Problem | Answer | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2.1 × 9.4 = | 19.74 | Watch for: dropping a trailing zero before placing the point |
| 2 | 1.8 × 8.2 = | 14.76 | Check: rounding the factors first |
| 3 | 9.6 × 2.3 = | 22.08 | Look at: lining up the decimal points |
| 4 | 4.6 × 1.4 = | 6.44 | Ask about: placing the point by eye |
| 5 | 5.1 × 3.4 = | 17.34 | Watch for: miscounting the decimal places |
| 6 | 8.3 × 9.3 = | 77.19 | Check: forgetting the point completely |
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.
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.
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.
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.
