40 Decimal Activities to Strengthen Decimal Sense

Your children will love these engaging decimal activities. They are designed to strengthen students understanding of decimals as they add, subtract, multiply, and divide them. 

Decimal Activities to Begin With

It may be tempting to just jump in and starting adding and subtracting decimals, but I highly suggest a little time of exploration first. These decimal activities are a great place to start. 

First, let children play with base ten blocks, draw, color, and create number lines using decimals. All of these decimal activities will lay a strong foundation for the harder work to come. 

You will be glad you took the time to do it!!!
