This PowerPoint contains 40 decimal numbers.   The whole number part or the numbers range from 0 to 99,999 and the decimal parts range from 0 to 0.999. Use this in any number of ways.  The following are just some examples.

1. Call on students individually to read the numerals.

2. Have the class read the numerals together.

3. Have students write the number in word or expanded form either on paper or individual white boards.

4. Put students in pairs at a center and have them to take turns reading the numerals to each other or have them write the numbers in word or expanded form and then compare their answers.

I am sure you can think of other ways to use the slides.   You can take time during class and/or use as a filler when you have a few minutes.  The keys are at the end and are color coded for groups of 10 numbers. You can edit the slides to fit your needs.
