🌟 Decimal Place Value 🌟

Hello my dear student! I am Miss Brenda, your kind and caring Grade 4 math teacher 💕

Today we are learning **Decimal Place Value**! Just like whole numbers have place value (ones, tens, hundreds), decimals have places too — tenths, hundredths, and more!

🏠 Understanding Decimal Place Value

The decimal point separates whole numbers from parts of a whole.

3.456

Ones . Tenths Hundredths Thousandths
3 . 4 5 6
3 4/10 5/100 6/1000

📖 How to Read Decimals

0.7 = seven tenths
0.45 = forty-five hundredths
1.23 = one and twenty-three hundredths
2.568 = two and five hundred sixty-eight thousandths

✨ Let’s Break Down Some Numbers

4.85
4 ones + 8 tenths + 5 hundredths

= 4 + 0.8 + 0.05 = 4.85
0.09
0 ones + 0 tenths + 9 hundredths

✏️ Let’s Practice Together, My Dear Student!

Practice 1: Write in Words

1. 0.6 → six tenths
2. 1.75 → one and seventy-five hundredths
3. 2.34 → two and thirty-four hundredths
Practice 2: Write as Decimal

1. 3 ones + 9 tenths + 2 hundredths → 3.92
2. 5 tenths + 8 hundredths → 0.58
3. 7 ones + 0 tenths + 3 hundredths → 7.03
Practice 3: Word Problems (Canadian Style)

1. A hockey player scored 1.65 goals per game on average. What does the 6 in 1.65 mean?
6 tenths

2. You ran 2.38 kilometres. Write the value of each digit.
2 = ones, 3 = tenths, 8 = hundredths
Challenge Question

What is the value of the digit 7 in 4.87?
7 hundredths (0.07)

Fantastic Job, My Dear Student! 🎉
