1 approach
Decimals to three places means practising the idea at the table with counters or paper models and one clear check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: Place-value grid (ones / tenths); Pencil. Adult shows 0.3 as three tenths on the grid. Child builds three decimal amounts on the grid and reads them aloud. Done: three correct decimal readings. Stop after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Public Illustrative Mathematics task page. The .html address responds HTTP 308 to this URL. An anonymous GET of this URL on 2026-11-12 returned HTTP 200 with no login or payment prompt. Where a teacher solution is present, it is on the same page as the student task; this check did not find a separate locked student view. An adult can use the student view section and should not read a solution aloud. Advertising was not observed in the fetched HTML text; that is not a browser, device, or ad-free guarantee. This is a paper or discussion task, not an automatically marked interactive game. Opening the link does not save practice or assess mastery. Diagrams on the page use missing or filename-only alt text, so they are not an accessible image equivalent. Accessibility still depends on an adult describing the picture.
