The 9 is in the hundredths spot. 9 X 1/100 = 0.09 Value of a Digit What is the digit in question worth? If it’s a three in the tenths place it’s worth three tenths or 0.3. Write the answer in numerical form. The value of the 9 in 7.895 is 0.09. Practice: Find the value of the underlined numbers. 32.893 4.075 63.867 1.004 The 9 is in the hundredths spot. 9 X 1/100 = 0.09

Value of a Digit Answers 32.893 = 0.003 4.075 = 0.07 63.867 = 0.8 1.004 = 0.004

Writing Decimals Using Expanded Form 22.17 in expanded form is 20 + 2 + 0.1 + 0.07 Find the value of each digit and write it one at a time with an addition sign between each one. Practice: Write the following numbers in regular expanded form. 5. 12.21 6. 0.135 7. 5.503 8. 0.018 If you were to add those numbers up you would get 22.17

Writing Decimals Using Expanded Form Answers 5. 12.21 = 10 + 2 + 0.2 + 0.01 6. 0.135 = 0.1 + 0.03 + 0.005 7. 5.503 = 5 + 0.5 + 0.003 8. 0.018 = 0.01 + 0.008

Expanded Form Using Multiplication Now that you can do regular expanded form, let’s take it a step further. Take each number and decide what you need to multiply by the base number to make it using multiplication. Practice: Write the following numbers in expanded form multiplication. 9. 62.783 10. 6.503 11. 0.185 12. 4.825 9.185 in expanded form multiplication is (9 X 1) + (1 X 1/10) + (8 X 1/100) + (5 X 1/1000) If you were to multiply what’s in each of the parenthesis and add the products together you would get a sum of 9.185.

Expanded Form Using Multiplication Answers 9. 62.783 = (6 X 10) + (2 X 1) + (7 X 1/10) + (8 x 1/100) + (3 X 1/1000) 10. 6.503 = (6 X 1) + (5 X 1/10) + (3 X 1/1000) 11. 0.185 = (1 X 1/10) + (8 X 1/100) + (5 X 1/1000) 12. 4.825 = (4 X 1) + (8 X 1/10) + (2 X 1/100) + (5 X 1/1000)

Rounding Decimals Round the number below to the nearest hundredths place. 3.241 Locate the number you’re asked to round to. You’ll have to know place value (location) for this. Then, look to the right. My students like to say, “Five and up bump it up. Four and below let it go.” That saying means if the number to the right is a five or higher you bump the number up one digit. If it’s a four or less, you don’t do anything to it. Leave it alone. The Answer is 3.240 or 3.24 Practice: Round the following numbers to the hundredths place. 13. 7.625 14. 12.333 15. 30.002 16. 51.066 The four is in the hundredths place. The one to the right says, “Leave it alone.” So, it stays a 4. All the numbers to the left of the hundredths place remain the same. The numbers to the right of the hundredths place become zeroes.

Rounding Decimals Answers 13. 7.625 = 7.630 or 7.63 14. 12.333 = 12.330 or 12.33 15. 30.002 = 30.00 or 30 16. 51.066 = 51.070 or 51.07

Finding the Place Value of the Digit (Aka Location) In class we did a cheer. We said, “Ones, tenths, hundredths, thousandths.” Practice: Name the location of the underlined digit. 17. 32.893 18. 75.618 19. 63.867 20. 29.912 1 2 3 The 2 is in the hundredths place.

Finding the Place Value of the Digit (Aka Location) Answers 17. 32.893 = thousandths 18. 75.618 = tenths 19. 63.867 = hundredths 20. 29.912 = hundredths

Writing Numbers in Word Form The number 456 is four hundred fifty-six. The last spot is thousandths, so my last word is thousandths. Read the numbers to the left of the decimal how you would normally read them. When you see the decimal say, “AND.” Read the numbers to the right of the decimal as a group. Then say the last spot’s name. 12.456 is twelve AND four hundred fifty-six thousandths Practice: Write the following numbers in word form. 21. 67.015 22. 522.04 23. 771.771 24. 84.97 “Last spot last word!”

Writing Numbers in Word Form Answers 21. 67.015 = sixty-seven and fifteen thousandths 22. 522.04 = five hundred twenty-two and four hundredths 23. 771.771 = seven hundred seventy-one and seven hundred seventy-one thousandths 24. 84.97 = eighty-four and ninety-seven hundredths

7.2 7.02 Comparing Decimals 7.2 7.02 > 7.2 7.02 > “The alligator eats the biggest number.” 7.2 7.02 The number one tip I can give you is to line your decimals up then compare the numbers to determine which number is bigger or smaller. Practice: Compare the two numbers using <, >, or =. 25. 0.21 0.211 26. 40.99 40.9 27. 6.22 6.220 28 9.44 9.4 They both have sevens, but the tenths place is different. Two is bigger than zero, so 7.2 is the bigger number.

Creating a Base Ten Block Display of a Decimal You need to be able to recreate a base ten block (10 X 10). 58 of the 100 blocks are shaded, so 0.58 is shaded.

Vocabulary to Know Standard Form – A way to write numbers by using the digits 0 – 9, with each digit having a place value. E.g., 456 Expanded Form – A way to write numbers by showing the value of each digit. E.g., 832 = 800 + 30 + 2 Word Form – A way to write numbers in standard English. E.g., 4,829 = four thousand eight hundred twenty-nine Digit – Any one of the ten symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 used to write numbers.
