Worksheet Overview

It is important to know the value of each column and understand how each number is written.

For most of the maths work you will be doing this year, you won't need to go beyond the thousandths column, but it is important to know what happens next, so we will be testing you on decimal numbers down to millionths in this activity!

 

The order going right from the decimal point is:

tenths

hundredths

hundred thousandths
