Key Concepts

Place Value

Place value refers to the value of a digit depending on its position in a number. In decimals, the digits after the decimal point represent fractions whose denominators are powers of ten, allowing you to determine the exact value of each digit in relation to the whole number.

Naming Decimals

Naming decimals involves reading the digits to the right of the decimal point as a fraction. For example, the entire decimal can be expressed as a fraction over a power of ten based on the number of decimal places, and then named by stating the fraction in words according to its denominator.

Decimal Number System

The decimal number system is a base-ten numeral system that uses a decimal point to separate the integer part from the fractional part. Each digit's position represents a power of ten, making it a convenient system for expressing both whole numbers and fractions.
