Main idea

Decimals

A decimal can name part of a whole or part of a group. A decimal can have a whole number part and a decimal part that are separated by a decimal point.​

Example: 5.89 is a whole number mixed with a ​decimal

5 is the whole number and .89 is a decimal​

Decimal Place value

The decimal will separate the whole numbers and the decimals. The whole numbers are to the left of the ​decimal point and the decimals are to the right.

12.34​

The 1 is in the tens place

The 2 is in the ones place

The 3 is in the tenths place

The 4 is in the hundredths place​

Which number is in the hundredths place of 75.68?

Fill in the Blank

Which number is in the tenths place of 75.68?

Decimal Place Value

Place values in decimals follow the same base-ten system as whole numbers. Each place has 10 times the value of the place to its right.

1 tenths = 10 hundredths

1 one = 10 tenths

​When you put a 0 to the right of the last digit of a decimal, it does not change the value.

0.1 = 0.10 and 0.5 = 0.50​

Sometime you will have a whole number and a decimal. Each filled 100 block will be 1 whole. While the partial block will be a decimal.​

Example. To the right we see 1 whole​ block 8 ten blocks and 1 single block so the number would be 1.81

Write the decimal for the shaded area.

Decimal Number Lines

Step 1​

Decide what each mark on the number line represents​

Step 2

​Each line on the number line is one tenth (0.1)

The decimal is in between the numbers 1 and 2 so it has to be greater than 1 and less than 2. So our number must have a 1 in the ones place.​

What decimal is H at?

Number Line Hundredths

Step 1

Identify what we are counting by. The letter J is between 2.10 and 2.20. So we have to be counting by less than a tenth. In this case we are counting by hundredths​

​Step 2

The number has to be greater than 2.10 so we will count up from 2.10 until we reach J​
