Decimals
Read, compare and calculate with decimals — tenths, hundredths and money.
What your child learns
- Tenths and hundredths come after the decimal point
- Compare decimals by lining up the decimal points
- Add, subtract and multiply decimals
Example
0.5 is bigger than 0.45 because 0.50 > 0.45.
