What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
Sixty-seven and three hundredths is 67.03, not 67.3.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 67.03 in digits. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- The last word names the place
- A 0 holds the empty place
- Read it back
Helping at home
The last word of a decimal names the place of its last digit. Put that digit there, and write a 0 in any empty place between it and the point.
If your kid gets stuck
