Whole Numbers and Decimals
Objective
• To use place value to understand whole
numbers to the billions and decimals to the
hundred-thousandths.
• Why? To help you understand the value of all
types of numbers
California State Standards
NS 1.1 (Gr. 5): Manipulate very large (e.g., millions)
and very small (e.g., thousandths) numbers.
MR 1.0: Make decisions about how to approach
problems.
Vocabulary
• Base-ten numeration
- Our number system is based on the Base-10 system.
Numbers 1-9 are units. Add one more to 9 = 10 which
translates to a new ‘house.’
- There can be all types of bases: Base 2 (binary, used in computer
language), Base 5, etc.
• Standard form
– The way any numeral is written using only numbers 0-9
– 52,615,843
• Short word form
- Using words and numbers to express a numeral
- 52,615,843 = 52 million, 615 thousand, 843.
• Place-value chart
- Shows the order and names of the places for a number.
- divided by ‘houses’: … billions, millions, thousands, one;
decimals. Within in ‘house’, are rooms: thousands, ten, base.

How to Read Decimals
To help you read decimal
place values better, I have
a little trick. Count the
number of places in the
decimal place value area.
The amount of spaces
you count tells you how
many 0’s to have in your
word.
52. 01.
In the decimal place area, there
are two place holders. The
number with two 0’s is
hundred. So, the number
52.01 is read 52 and 1
hundredths.
468. 0928.
The decimal as four place
holders. The number with
four 0’s is ten-thousand. So
the number is read 468 and
928 ten-thousandths.
How to Read Numbers with Decimals
1) In the whole numbers
section, count the ‘houses’
and its ‘rooms’.
2) In the decimals section,
count the number of spaces.
The number of spaces = the
number of 0’s to read the
decimal number (ending with
the suffix –ths).
3) Put it all together. Read the
whole numbers first, then
say the word AND then read
the decimal.
AND = the decimal.
6,035,479,518
= 6 billion, 35 million, 479
thousand, 518.
36.00025
There are five place holders in
the decimal. The number
hundred-thousand has five
0’s.
= 36 and 25 hundredthousandths
5.1267
= 5 and 1 thousand 2 hundred
sixty-seven ten-thousandths.
