This subject covers essential 4th grade math concepts aligned with Common Core standards, including operations, fractions, and measurement.
Decimals are another way to show parts of a whole, just like fractions! They use a dot called a decimal point. In 4th grade, you’ll read, write, and compare decimals to the hundredths place.
Many fractions can be written as decimals. For example, \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \) and \( \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \).
Decimals are important when using money, measuring, or reading temperatures.
Try converting simple fractions to decimals and comparing them to see which is bigger or smaller.
Writing $1.25 as a decimal means one dollar and twenty-five cents.
Comparing 0.6 and 0.67 to see which is greater.
Decimals help us work with numbers that are less than one, like money or measurements.
