Key Concepts

Decimal Notation

Decimal notation is a method for representing numbers that allows for the expression of both whole numbers and fractions using a base-10 system with a decimal point. This system makes it easy to separate and interpret the whole number and fractional parts of a number.

Place Value in Decimals

In the decimal system, each digit's value is determined by its position relative to the decimal point. Digits to the left of the decimal point represent whole numbers (units, tens, hundreds, etc.), while digits to the right represent fractional parts (tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.), which is essential for accurately expressing and understanding numbers less than one.

Verbalizing Decimals

Verbalizing decimals involves reading or expressing a decimal number in words by stating the whole number part, followed by the fractional part according to its place value. This process typically requires translating the digits based on their respective place values (for example, 'three hundred seventy-five thousandths') to fully communicate the value of the decimal number.
