How to teach this

Draw a place value chart with the decimal point as the landmark: tens, ones, point, tenths, hundredths. Have your child drop each digit of 34.72 into its column before answering, then say the value out loud: "the 7 is seven tenths, 0.7." Money helps too: dimes are tenths of a dollar and pennies are hundredths.

Watch for: Kids read the 7 in 34.72 as 'seventy': after the decimal point places shrink, so that 7 is worth 0.7. Kids mix up tens and tenths: tens sit to the left of the decimal point, tenths sit first on the right.

Common questions about decimal place value

What places do 4th grade questions cover?
Tenths and hundredths only, the two decimal places fourth grade introduces. Thousandths wait for fifth grade.
What kinds of questions are on the sheet?
Two kinds: name the digit in a given place, and give the value of a given digit, written as a decimal, like 0.7. Every print generates a fresh set of numbers.
