Cut and Paste

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a hands-on activity that combines coloring with learning about decimal place values. It provides a chart with place value labels such as “ones,” “tenths,” “hundredths,” and so on, up to “hundred thousandths,” along with a set of numbers at the bottom of the page, each digit of which is in a separate box. Students are instructed to cut out these boxes and paste them over the correct place value on the chart above. Additionally, there is a color-coding activity where each place value is assigned a specific color, and students must color the digits in the numbers accordingly.

The worksheet is designed to teach students about the place value system in decimals in a more interactive and engaging way. By physically moving the numbers to their correct position on the chart, students can gain a better understanding of the relative value of digits depending on their placement. The coloring aspect adds an element of fun to the learning process and aids in memory retention by associating each place value with a different color. This type of activity is particularly beneficial in helping kinesthetic learners who benefit from hands-on activities to grasp mathematical concepts.
