1. Mr. Gifford’s 5 th Grade Math Lesson #4 Decimal Place Value.

2. Decimal place value is very similar to whole number place value. Every number has a place to hold. However, decimals are numbers LESS than ONE WHOLE number otherwise known as a FRACTION.

3. All numbers that are decimals end with a “ths” to represent a number that is less than one or a fraction.

4. 100,000 = 1 whole 10,000 = 1 Whole 1,000 = 1 Whole 100 = 1 Whole 10 = 1 Whole AND

5. Now lets work on recognizing and saying these numbers. 0.3 = Three Tenths = this means you have 3 out of 10 items = 3/10 0.04 = Four Hundredths = this means you have 4 out of 100 items = 4/100

6. 0.002 = Two Thousandths = This means you have 2 out of 1000 items = 2/1000 0.0006 = Six Ten Thousandths = This means you have 6 out of 10,000 items = 6/10,000

7. Now let’s Practice We will look at the number, say the number, then say the fraction. 0.45Forty-five HUNDREDTHS45/100 0.07Seven HUNDREDTHS7/100 0.9Nine TENTHS9/10
