Decimal Operations Task Cards – Add, Subtract, Multiply & Divide Decimals

A set of 30 decimal operations task cards for grades 5 to 7 featuring addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, rounding and word problems. Students practice all four decimal operations in several different ways without another traditional worksheet.

The cards mix plain computation, rounding and real-world word problems. The application problems include money and measurement contexts.

How to use it

The set is easy to differentiate. Use all 30 cards for a full decimal operations review, or select specific cards to focus on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, rounding or word problems, whichever skills your students need most.

Students can work independently, with partners, or rotate through the cards as math stations. The cards work well for:

• Math centers and stations
• Decimal operations review
• Partner practice
• Small groups
• Early finishers
• Test prep
• Independent practice
• Homework or classwork
• Interactive math notebooks

You can also print the task cards two per page and front-to-back. That turns the set into a compact 30-problem practice assignment with room for students to show their work.

Use them when you teach decimal operations for the first time or when you review before an assessment. It is flexible, low-prep practice you can use again and again.
