Give your child a number, for example: 0.7, and ask them to round it to the nearest whole number. If they are unsure, explain that if the tenth number is 5 or bigger, you round up to the next whole number. If the tenth number is less than 5, you round down to the smaller whole number.

Introduce decimal place values. Tell students that ones are always immediately to the left of a decimal point. Show them that tenths are always immediately to the right, followed by hundredths and thousandths. Over-pronounce tenths and hundredths to avoid confusing decimal place values with tens and hundreds.

A decimal is a way of writing a number that is not whole. Decimal numbers are 'in between' numbers. For example, 10.4 is in between the numbers 10 and 11. It is more than 10, but less than 11.

Students in 4th Grade are suggested to be able to understand decimal to fraction relationships by moving to the right of the decimal point as much as two places, ie, the tenths and hundredths place. It's also important to understand that any number can be represented in decimal notation.

There are 3 common strategies for multiplying decimals: standard algorithm (also called the traditional method or "how I learned when I was a kid") a visual model using hundredths grids. an area model.
