Decimal Place Value Solve & Draw Activity

Decimal Place Value Solve and Draw sheets are an easy, no-prep way to make review work or practice more engaging. These are also designed to provide practice of reading carefully in math and following directions.

Students complete the decimal problems and add to the drawing based on their answers. To keep them guessing, each problem may have one correct drawing prompt, two, or none. Each page has an average of 7 responses that require drawing. Drawing is no-prep because it can be done with the student’s normal writing utensil (pen or pencil). You may choose to allow colored pencils, crayons, or markers but they are not required. This works well as a homework option for families who may not have those supplies to offer.

Drawing prompts require a student to use multiple skills:
Decimal place value understanding through the hundredth-thousandths place
Rounding of decimal digits
Writing decimal digits from words
Comparing decimals
Reading carefully

An optional challenge page is included that can be copied on the back of the worksheet – this gives students an extension opportunity by asking them to create a math equation that fits one of the incorrect drawing prompts or to create a math equation and their own drawing prompts.
