 What are decimals?
Decimals are parts of whole things.
They are a little like fractions,
but we write them in a different way.
Decimal numbers have a decimal point.
This separates the whole numbers (on the left)
from the part numbers (on the right).

 Number lines can help us
to compare decimals.

The number line below shows units and tenths.

0.3 0.8 ? 2.4 3.2 ? ?

0 1 2 3 4 5

This number line shows units, tenths and hundredths.

1.32 ? 1.47 1.55 ? 1.73 ?

1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8

What decimal numbers are the red arrows pointing to? ©

 Adding and subtracting
decimals is just like
adding and subtracting
whole numbers.

Just remember to line up the decimal points...

5. 6 5. 6 8 . 73
+ 3 . 72 + 3 . 72 - 2 . 52
? 9 . 32 6 . 21

... and don’t forget to write the decimal point in your answer!
