DECIMAL PLACE VALUE CHART - SHORT AND EXPANDED FORMS OF DECIMALS, EXAMPLE, EXERCISE

Revisiting of Place value chart of whole numbers

Please study
Decimals before Decimal Place Value Chart

if you have not already done so.

That knowledge is a prerequisite here.

In Decimal Number System,
We have studied the place value rule
for whole numbers, as follows.

place value rule for Numbers :

The value of the right extreme place is one (1) or unity.

Value of the place increases as it moves to the left.

Value of the place becomes ten times, as we move one place to the left.

the value of the place second from right is ten times one and is equal to ten.

The value of the place third from right is ten times ten and is called hundred.

The value of the place, fourth from right is ten times hundred and is called thousand.

The place value chart of a four digit whole number
with example is given below.

place value chart for four digit numbers :

In the above example, the value of 4936
= 4 thousands + 9 hundreds + 3 tens + 6 ones
= 4,000 + 900 + 30 + 6 = 4936

Extension of Place value chart of whole numbers to Decimals

Based on the above discussion, we can say

If we start from a place and proceed to the RIGHT, the value
of each place is 1⁄10th of the next place to the left.

Thus, 'hundreds place' is 1⁄10th of the 'thousands place',
'tens place' is 1⁄10th of the 'hundreds place',
and the 'units place' is 1⁄10th of the 'tens place'.

What shall be the places to the right of the units place ?

The above discussion suggests that the first place to the right
of units place should be 1⁄10th of a unit (1).

The second place to the right of units place must be
1⁄10 x 1⁄10 i.e.1⁄100th of a unit (1).

The third place to the right of units place must be
1⁄10 x 1⁄10 x 1⁄10 i.e.1⁄1000th of a unit (1) and so on.

This discussion gives us the Decimal place value chart for a
decimal number which is given below with an example.

Progressive Learning of Math : Decimal Place Value Chart

Recently, I have found a series of math curricula
(Both Hard Copy and Digital Copy) developed by a Lady Teacher
who taught everyone from Pre-K students to doctoral students
and who is a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education.

This series is very different and advantageous
over many of the traditional books available.
These give students tools that other books do not.
Other books just give practice.
These teach students “tricks” and new ways to think.

These build a student’s new knowledge of concepts
from their existing knowledge.
These provide many pages of practice that gradually
increases in difficulty and provide constant review.

These also provide teachers and parents with lessons
on how to work with the child on the concepts.

The series is low to reasonably priced and include

Elementary Math curriculum

and

Algebra Curriculum.
