Sam jumped 2.5 m. Kim jumped 2.35 m. Kim's number has more digits, so who jumped farther? Learn tenths and hundredths with a cut-up square, read decimals on a place value chart (3.47 = 3 + 0.4 + 0.07), see decimals in money, learn why 0.5 = 0.50, and compare decimals by lining up the points. Then try the quiz and the super challenge! In this video, kids aged 10-12 learn to: See tenths and hundredths on a cut-up square (0.1, 0.3, 0.01, 0.25), read decimals on a place value chart (3.47 = 3 + 0.4 + 0.07, said digit by digit), link them to money (dimes, pennies), know that a zero at the end does not change the value (0.5 = 0.50), and compare decimals by lining up the points and going place by place from the left. What we learn: Each place is ten times smaller than the place on its left. A zero at the end does not change the value. To compare, line up the points and start from the left. New words: decimal, tenths, hundredths, digits, place, compare Chapters: 0:00 Who jumped farther? 0:21 Decimals everywhere 0:39 Tenths and hundredths 1:20 The place value chart 2:02 Money and decimals 2:34 Zeros at the end 2:55 Comparing decimals 3:23 Say it with me 3:49 Sam or Kim? 4:22 Your turn 5:10 Super challenge 5:51 Recap and goodbye Free printable worksheet for grown-ups: https://cotuz.com/w/decimal-add-subtract CotuzKids: short, happy math lessons in simple English for kids aged 6 to 9.
