Decimal place value to thousandths
Identify the value of each digit in numbers given to three decimal places (e.g. in 4.378, the 7 represents 7 hundredths)
Lesson
Set out your lesson
State digit values to three decimal places and explain the factor of ten between adjacent places.
Before teaching
Use this short check, then start teaching.
Ask the learner to read 1.205 and name its zero place: one and two hundred five thousandths; zero hundredths. If unclear, revisit the preceding reading and writing lesson. Ask what dividing one tenth into ten equal parts gives: hundredths.
Check readiness directly. Prerequisite availability is not attainment.

Check understanding
- State the value of each digit in 2.635 (2 ones, 6 tenths, 3 hundredths, 5 thousandths)
- Explain the relationship between adjacent decimal places (each place is ten times smaller)
- Write a number given digit values (e.g. 4 ones, 0 tenths, 7 hundredths, 3 thousandths = 4.073)
“In the number 4.378, can your child tell you that the 7 represents 7 hundredths — not 7 tenths or 7 thousandths?”
