Fractions, decimals, and geometric concepts for fourth grade students.
Decimals are another way to show parts of a whole, just like fractions. Instead of using a line, decimals use a dot called the decimal point.
For example, 0.5 is the same as \( \frac{1}{2} \).
The first number after the decimal point is the tenths place, then the hundredths, and so on.
Decimals are useful for money, measuring, and when you want to be very exact!
A dollar and fifty cents is written as $1.50.
Measuring 2.75 meters in a race.
Decimals show parts of a whole using a dot and place value.
