Understanding Decimal Place Values

This video tutorial covers the concept of place value, starting from the billions down to the thousandths. It explains the structure of the ones, thousands, millions, and billions periods, highlighting how each position increases in value by ten times as you move left. The video also introduces decimal places, such as tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, and explains their significance. A mirroring concept is used to illustrate the symmetry in place value positions on either side of the decimal point.
