In the number 5.67, highlight the ones place in yellow, the tenths place in red, and the hundredths place in blue.

Fractions and Place Value

All place values in a number have a fraction equivalent.

Line up numbers starting with the first in each number.

DON'T:

Line up each number according to their decimal point (if there is one).
