Place Decimals on a Number Line
Six number lines for plotting decimals: four lines from 0 to 1 in tenths, where students mark two decimals such as 0.3 and 0.8, and two zoomed-in lines in hundredths (for example from 0.6 to 0.7) for numbers like 0.64. Only the ends are labeled, so children have to count the steps. Each point gets a letter; the key shows every point in red.

About this worksheet
Six number lines for plotting decimals: four lines from 0 to 1 in tenths, where students mark two decimals such as 0.3 and 0.8, and two zoomed-in lines in hundredths (for example from 0.6 to 0.7) for numbers like 0.64. Only the ends are labeled, so children have to count the steps. Each point gets a letter; the key shows every point in red. Expect it to take fourth graders about 15 to 20 minutes with careful work.
Tips for using it
- Let children hop with a finger or a small toy on the line before they draw hops with a pencil.
- Always mark the start number with a dot first; most mistakes come from counting the start as a hop.
- Say "forward" for adding and "back" for subtracting while hopping, so the direction sticks.
- Keep a 0 to 20 strip on the desk during any addition or subtraction worksheet.
Printing tips
