Instructions

Play through this interactive game to learn about Read And Write Decimals To The Thousandths. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.

Main Concepts

Use tenths, hundredths, thousandths, 0.n, 0.nm, 0.nmt to name decimal numbers to the tenths (the last digit to the right is in the tenths place value), hundredths (the last digit to the right is in the hundredths place value) and thousandths (the last digit to the right is in the thousandths place value).

Interchange between decimal number names to numerals and expanded form.

Compare decimals by comparing place value or expanding to compare (Is nine and fifty two tenths = to 9.52? No, because 9 + 52/10 = 9 + 50/10 + 2/10 = 9 + 5 + 2/10 = 14 2/10. 9.52<14 2/10.)

Express decimal numbers in word form.

A multi-digit number is expressed in expanded form when it is written as a sum of single digit multiple powers of ten (ex: 256.23 = 2 x 100 + 5 x 10 + 6 x 1 + 2 x 1/10 + 3 x 1/100).

Discussion Questions

Before the Game

What are place values? What are the place values to the right and to the left of the decimal? How can a number be expressed as both a fraction and a decimal?

After the Game

How do we use place value to read a decimal written in words? How are fractions related to decimals? If a digit is two spaces to the right of the decimal, what fraction is it multiplied by?
