Georgia has the misconception that the more numbers on either side of a decimal point the smaller
the number. For example Georgia believes 0.00987 is smaller than 0. This shows that Georgia
doesn't have a conceptual understanding of how decimal numbers are constructed(J.Van De
Walle, K. Karp, J. Bay-Williams. 2010). She believes that the number with the fewer decimal
places is the larger (A. Roche, D.Clarke, 2004), because she sees tenths always being larger than
hundredths.
