Let's unpack decimals! Study the examples carefully, then complete the activity.

Decimals are perfect for learning about place value. Each place to the left of the decimal is 10 times larger than the one before it, and each place to the right is 10 times smaller. When we write a decimal to show the value of each digit, we call it expanded form. In this activity, you'll practice writing decimals in expanded form and learn how to say them as phrases. Grab your pencil, and let the fun of translating decimals begin!
