    What Are Decimals?

    Decimals are numbers that consist of both the whole number part and fractional/decimal part, separated by the decimal point. 

    Decimals are a fundamental part of the base-10 numbering system used in mathematics. They represent a fractional or decimal portion of a whole number. The decimal point separates the whole number from the fractional part, allowing precise values between two consecutive integers. 

    Decimals offer a flexible way to express numbers with greater accuracy, making them indispensable in science, finance, and everyday calculations. Understanding decimals is essential for working with measurements, percentages, and performing operations involving fractions and real numbers.

    Decimal Place Value Chart

    Decimals consist of two parts separated by a decimal point. The left side represents the whole number part. The right side represents the fractional part.

    As you move to the right, the place value gets 10 times bigger than the place value immediately to the left.

    As you move to the right, the place value gets 10 times smaller than the place value immediately to the right.

    How To Read and Write Decimals

    Reading and writing decimals involves interpreting and expressing decimal numbers correctly. Reading decimals involves identifying the value of each digit based on its position relative to the decimal point, while writing decimals requires placing digits accurately according to their place values.  To read and write decimals using a place value chart, follow these steps:

    How To Read Decimals

    Always start from the left side of the decimal point. Each digit represents its place value, such as ones, tens, hundreds, and so on, going to the left. Then, move to the right side of the decimal point. Each digit represents its place value, such as tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and so on, going to the right.

    Example: Consider the decimal number 47.235.

    Starting from the left side of the decimal point, "4" is in the tens place, "7" is in the ones place.

    Then, moving to the right side of the decimal point, "2" is in the tenths place, "3" is in the hundredths place, and "5" is in the thousandths place.

    So, the number 47.235 can be read as “forty-seven and two hundred thirty-five thousandths.”

    We generally prefer to read it as “forty-seven point two hundred and thirty-five.”

    How To Write Decimals

    Begin with the whole number part and write the digits as per their place values to the left of the decimal point. Then, write the digits as per their place values to the right of the decimal point for the fractional part. If there are no digits to the left of the decimal point, place a "0" before it to signify the absence of a whole number.

    Example: Let's represent the number three and seventy-five hundredths as a decimal.

    Start with the whole number part: 3

    Now, write the decimal point: 3.

    For the fractional part, write the digits as per their place values: 0.75.

    Thus, the decimal representation of the number is 3.75.

    Master this skill with engaging activities and exercises to improve numerical fluency. Explore exciting "read and write decimals games” to enhance your decimals proficiency and enjoy learning at the same time!

    Types of Decimals

    Decimals can be classified based on their decimal expansion as

    1) Terminating Decimals: These decimals have a finite number of digits after the decimal point. For example, 0.25, 0.75, and 2.5 are terminating decimals.

    2) Non-terminating Decimals: These decimals have an infinite number of digits after the decimal point. The decimal expansion is non-terminating.

    Such decimals can be further classified into two categories:

    i) Non-terminating and Repeating Decimals: They are also simply called Recurring decimals or Repeating decimals. Repeating decimals have a pattern of digits that repeat infinitely after the decimal point. All repeating decimals are rational numbers.

    For example, 0.333... (repeating 3s), 0.666... (repeating 6s), and 0.142857142857... (repeating pattern 142857) are repeating decimals.

    ii) Non-terminating and Non-repeating Decimals: These decimals have an infinite number of non-repeating digits after the decimal point, and they cannot be expressed as a fraction. These decimals are irrational numbers.

    Examples include π (3.14159...) and \(\sqrt{2}\) (1.41421356...).

    Comparing and Ordering Decimals

    Comparing and ordering decimals is a crucial skill in mathematics. 

    When comparing decimals, focus on the whole number part first. The decimal with the greater whole number part is larger. If the whole number parts are equal, compare the digits to the right of the decimal point, moving from left to right until you find the first differing digit. 

    Ordering decimals involves arranging them from least to greatest or vice versa. 

    Example: Let's consider the decimals 0.35, 0.2, and 0.45.

    Compare the whole number parts. In this case, all three decimals have a whole number part of 0.

    Next, move on to compare the tenths place. The decimals 0.35 and 0.45 both have 3 in the tenths place, but 0.2 has 2 in the tenths place.

    2 < 3 < 4

    Thus, 0.2 < 0.35 < 0.45.

    The decimals in ascending order are 0.2, 0.35, and 0.45.

    Convert between Fractions, Decimals, and Percentages

    Converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages is a crucial skill in mathematics.
     

    Fractions, decimals, and percentages relationship visual chart

     

    Fractions represent a part of a whole, decimals are a way to express fractions in decimal form, and percentages are fractions multiplied by 100. 

    Decimal conversion to percentage and fractions can be summarized as follows:
     

    Fraction to decimal to percentage conversion

     

    Mastering these conversions aids in better understanding and applying numerical representations across various mathematical concepts and real-life situations. Explore Converting between Decimals and Fractions Games for more understanding.

    How To Represent Decimals

    Representing decimals using models and number lines is a helpful visual method for understanding and comparing decimal values. 

    Models: Models like base-10 blocks or grids illustrate the relationship between whole numbers and their fractional parts. For example, in 0.6, there are 6 tenths represented by 6 blocks out of 10. Number lines help show the magnitude of decimals in relation to each other. 

    Number Lines: Placing decimals on a number line helps visualize their positions and identify their relative sizes. These visual representations aid in grasping the concept of decimals and their place values, making math learning more engaging and accessible.

    Play and Learn: Teaching Aids for Decimals

    Example: The place value model representation of decimal number 25.61 is as shown below:
     

    Place value model for decimal 25.61

     

    Base-10 blocks for decimals

     

    Example: \(\frac{32}{100}\) can be expanded to:

    \(\frac{32}{100} = \frac{30}{100} + \frac{2}{100}\)
     

    0.32 split using base-10 models


    \(\frac{32}{100}\) can also be expanded to

    \(\frac{32}{100} = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{2}{100}\)
     

    0.32 representation using base-10 blocks
     

    0.32 = 0.30 + 0.02 = 0.3 + 0.02 (since 0.30 = 0.3)

    Thus, 0.32 = 30 hundredths + 2 hundredths = 3 tenths + 2 hundredths 

    Using number lines for decimals is familiar to children as they have used it for whole numbers. To make math engaging, teachers can ask them to place decimals like 0.32 or 32/100 on the number line. By understanding relative values, children can position them accurately. For example, \(\frac{32}{100}\) lies between \(\frac{30}{100}\)  = 0.3 and \(\frac{40}{100}\) = 0.4, closer to \(\frac{30}{100}\) = 0.3, and thus, they can place it accordingly. This activity fosters a deeper understanding of decimals and their placement on the number line.
