This video tutorial teaches how to write decimals in expanded notation by multiplying each digit by a unit fraction. It explains the concept of place value and demonstrates how to use a decimal chart to understand the division by powers of 10. The tutorial provides examples of writing numbers like 418 thousandths and 324 thousandths in expanded form, emphasizing the importance of place value and the increasing number of zeros in the denominator as you move to the right.

What is the first step in writing a number in expanded notation?

• Multiply each digit by its place value

• Divide each digit by a unit fraction

• Add all the digits together

• Subtract the smallest digit from the largest
