This resource focuses on the concept of place value in decimals, explaining the significance of hundreds, tens, ones, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. It provides clear definitions and examples to illustrate the relationship between decimal notation and its fractional equivalents, such as 0.1 representing 1/10. The document includes exercises for practice, such as identifying digits in specified place values, reading and writing decimals in both standard and word forms, and expanding numbers in decimal and fraction forms. Additionally, visual tools like grid models and number lines are introduced to help students better understand the representation of decimals. The resource also includes a cumulative review section to reinforce the concepts learned.
