Mental Math Worksheets for Grade 5 — Decimals and Large Numbers

In Grade 5 mental math extends to decimal numbers. The generator offers the four operations: addition and subtraction of whole numbers up to 2,000 or of tenths (3.4 + 5.8), multiplication (12 to 45 by 3 to 9, decimals by 10 or 100, whole numbers by 0.5, 1.5 or 2.5) and division (exact, or a whole number by 10 or 100 with a decimal result). The decimal mark follows the language of the page: a comma in French, a point in English.

Tenths and hundredths

Adding and subtracting tenths, multiplying a decimal by 10 or 100: the decimal point “moves”. At least one real decimal per calculation.

Whole numbers to 2,000

Addition and subtraction on a bigger scale than Grade 4, with gaps that make children break the numbers up.

Varied division

Exact division by 3 to 12, and also a whole number divided by 10 or 100 with a decimal result (345 ÷ 100 = 3.45).

Frequently asked questions

How is it different from the Grade 4 sheet?

Grade 4 stays with whole numbers up to 1,000. Grade 5 goes to 2,000 and brings in tenths, hundredths and multiplication by 0.5, 1.5 and 2.5.

How do I multiply 3.4 by 10 in my head?

Multiplying by 10 moves every digit one place to the left: 3.4 becomes 34. By 100 the shift is two places: 3.4 becomes 340. That is what the sheets practise.

Can the results be decimals?

Yes, for example 12 ÷ 100 = 0.12 or 3.4 + 5.8 = 9.2. At least one number is a decimal in the additions and subtractions of tenths.

Are the answers on the sheet?

No, the student sheet does not show the answers. You can check with a calculator or redo the calculations together.

Can I customize this worksheet with a different theme?

Yes. Beyond the educational content, you can choose from 10 themes (space, ocean, unicorn, superhero…) that change the color palette of the worksheet to make it more appealing to your child.
