Decimal Operations
The below QuickQuestion Interface © generates random decimal sums to do.
You can select a choice of one, two, or three decimal places for the questions, as well as choosing the mixed option, which will randomly set each number to a one of these choices.
You can then choose whether the numbers will be purely decimals, have an integer part to them or be one of each.
Finally, select the operation you wish to use.
If you wish to make the activity slightly easier (particularly for multiplcation and division), then by selecting the checkbox you can ensure that one of the numbers is always a whole number.
Now use the "New Question" and "Show Answer" buttons to generate questions and answers.
There is a 10QQI version of this activity which generates 10 random questions at a time.

Ideas for Teachers
Great as a quick interactive starter to any Maths lesson, use this activity to check your students abilities in working with decimals. All four operations, a selection of decimal places, include whole number parts or not. Whatever you are wanting to check, you can do it with this. Want to challenge those more able students? Set it to mixed!
For Decimal Division, you may want to start with dividing decimals by whole numbers. To do this, select "One Whole Number" and deselect "Ensure Positive Answer" (this puts the whole number in the second part).
