Daily math practice for 6th grade

Five days of decimal multiplication and division, from one decimal place against a whole number to two decimals against each other.

What the 5 days look like

Multiplying and dividing decimals · 5 daily sheets plus an answer key — 6 sides in all.

  1. Monday Warm-up

    Monday is one decimal place against a whole number — 1.8 ÷ 6, 0.4 × 5.
  2. Tuesday Build

    Tuesday brings the whole numbers up.
  3. Wednesday Practice

    Wednesday works two places against one.
  4. Thursday Stretch

    Thursday runs into the tens.
  5. Friday Challenge

    Friday multiplies two decimals — 3.73 × 3.21, 5.74 × 5.06.

Why a week beats one long page

Sixth grade is where decimal arithmetic has to become reliable rather than careful. The operations are already known; what is not yet automatic is keeping the point in the right place while doing them, and that only comes from repetition close enough together to compound.

How to run it

The climb is in how many decimal places are in play. Monday multiplies or divides one decimal place by a whole number, where the point moves in an obvious way. Friday multiplies two decimals together — 3.73 × 3.21, 5.74 × 5.06 — where the answer has four places and no amount of estimating will rescue a misplaced point.

Every one of these builds a pack that gets harder day by day. A single times table fills three days rather than five — ten facts, each allowed back once. Skills whose questions are all one weight are left out.
