Math6-8
Decimal Operations Review Practice for Grade 7
By Christy M.
A practice worksheet that reviews decimal addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division using standard algorithms, with worked examples and rules to remember before each problem set. It targets 6th-grade standards (6.NS.B.6, 6.NS.A.4.a) and a 5th-grade decimal standard (5.DA.A.16.a), making it a good fit for a 7th-grade review block or intervention session.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a warm-up or a 20 to 30 minute review block before introducing new 7th-grade ratio or expression content, since it refreshes foundational decimal fluency.
- Discussion question: Why does the product of two decimals have as many decimal places as the factors combined, and how can estimation tell you whether the decimal point is in the right spot?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: have students first solve each problem with place-value grids or by converting to fractions, then transfer the steps to the standard algorithm.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to explain why moving the decimal point in both the divisor and dividend preserves the quotient, and to create their own division problem with a remainder.
- Estimated time: roughly 25 minutes for the full set, depending on how many problems you assign.
