For example
The decimal 0.5 and the fraction one half name the same amount.
In Grade 4
Children link decimals to money first, where two places after the point are already familiar.
Watch out for
Children often think 0.5 is smaller than 0.25 because 25 looks bigger than 5. Compare the tenths place first.
Say it at home
Read two prices aloud and ask your child which one is larger, and why.
