Teaching Decimals
What it is
Decimals are another way to write fractions with denominators of 10, 100, or 1,000: 0.5 is five tenths, 0.25 is twenty-five hundredths.
When a child is ready
Teach decimals after fractions and place value are understood, since a decimal is both.
If they struggle
Use money and a place-value chart that extends to the right of the ones. Say decimals by their place names ('three and four tenths') rather than 'three point four' until the value is clear.
