Naming Place Value

Worksheet Description

This worksheet provides a series of decimal numbers and directs students to engage with the concept of place value through coloring. For each decimal number listed, the task is to color the place value of the underlined digit, which varies among ones, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. The worksheet is organized in pairs, with each pair of numbers focusing on contrasting place values, such as tenths vs hundredths or hundredths vs thousandths. At the bottom, students can rate how they feel about their work by coloring in one of three faces, ranging from happy to sad.

The worksheet’s purpose is to enhance students’ understanding of decimal place values by having them visually associate each place with a specific color. It teaches them to recognize and differentiate between the ones, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths places in a decimal number. This hands-on activity also helps to solidify their knowledge of the base-ten system and its extension beyond whole numbers into decimals. Moreover, the self-assessment feature encourages students to reflect on their own learning and build metacognitive skills.
