Check understanding
- State the value of each digit in 2.635 (2 ones, 6 tenths, 3 hundredths, 5 thousandths)
- Explain the relationship between adjacent decimal places (each place is ten times smaller)
- Write a number given digit values (e.g. 4 ones, 0 tenths, 7 hundredths, 3 thousandths = 4.073)
“In the number 4.378, can your child tell you that the 7 represents 7 hundredths — not 7 tenths or 7 thousandths?”
