Decimals on Number Lines

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students understand and practice placing and identifying decimals on a number line. It consists of two sections: the first section provides number lines with points labeled by letters, and students must write down the decimal that each letter represents. The second section requires students to place given decimal numbers at the correct point on a number line. The exercise combines visual representation with numerical notation to enhance students’ comprehension of decimals.

The worksheet teaches students how to interpret number lines and identify the exact position of decimal numbers on them. It aims to solidify their understanding of the value of decimal numbers in relation to whole numbers and each other. By placing decimals on a number line, students improve their ability to visualize the size of decimals and compare them. This skill is fundamental in developing number sense and is a precursor to more advanced mathematical concepts involving decimals.

Name each of the values that appear on the number line at each of the lettered points. You will then label the position of each of the decimal values that you are given on a numbers line.
