DECIMALS
1. We must provide opportunities for our children to learn and understand decimals meaningfully. 2. We use physical materials and other representatives to help children understand the concept of decimals (a) Area models (fraction circles) (b) Linear models (fraction strips) (c) Discrete models (counters)

3. It would be useful to show students these representations to reaffirm their understanding about decimals 4. It is important for us to have an overview of the mathematical skills involved in changing fractions and mixed numbers to decimals and vice versa.

Decimals to Fractions Follow the following steps: 1. Write the numerator as whole number. 2. Write the denominator as power of tens with number of zero depends on how many places after the decimal point. 3. Reduce the fraction.

Subtraction of Two Decimal Numbers Steps to follow for subtracting two decimals:
1.
Arrange the decimal numbers so that the decimal points are in vertical line 2. Subtract each number from right to left. 3. Place the answers in the same place. Example: Subtract 12.75 from 17. 93. 1 7 . 98 313 -1 2 . 7 5 5 .1 8

Place the decimal above the other so that they are lined up vertically. Disregard the decimal points and multiply the numbers. Count the total number of digits to the right of the decimal point for both decimal numbers. Place the decimal point in the product by moving the decimal point from right to left of the digits according to number of digits count in Step 3.
