Pinpoint the Place

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a series of numbers in decimal form and asks students to identify and underline digits in specific decimal places: thousandths, hundredths, ones, and tenths. Each section targets a different place value and presents a list of numbers where students must locate and underline the digit occupying the place value in question. The numbers range from simple decimals to more complex ones with multiple decimal places. At the bottom of the page, there is a section for students to reflect on their performance by selecting a smiley face that best represents their feelings about the task.

The worksheet serves as a practical exercise for students to recognize and understand the position and value of digits in decimal numbers. It helps them differentiate between the various place values such as tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, which is essential for their mathematical development. The activity also encourages attention to detail and precision, as students must carefully examine each number to find the correct digit to underline. Additionally, the self-assessment aspect at the end promotes self-awareness and encourages students to think about their learning process.
