Create a worksheet with two columns: one labeled 'Number Form' on the left and one labeled 'Word Form' on the right. Include 8 rows with decimal numbers in the number form column (like 0.325, 0.67, 5.042, etc.) that students need to convert to written word form on the right side. Use a clean, simple design with clear column headers and answer spaces.

This resource provides a comprehensive guide on how to write decimal numbers in word form. It begins by instructing users to ignore the zero and decimal point, focusing instead on the digits to the right as a whole number. Subsequently, it details how to correctly articulate the place value of the last digit in the decimal. For example, the decimal 0.42 is expressed as 'forty-two hundredths'. The document includes practice exercises where learners can convert decimal numbers into word form, enhancing their understanding of decimal place values. Additionally, worked-out solutions are provided for selected practice problems to facilitate self-checking and comprehension. Through clear examples and structured practice, this resource aims to build proficiency in writing decimals in both mathematical and verbal formats.
