Decimal Fractions

This worksheet is to support teaching decimal fractions - the fractions linked to tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc. It is to help students learn and understand the connection between fractions, place value, and decimals. This is the first part of converting a fraction to a decimal and a decimal to a fraction.
