Key ideas
A number to 10 000 has thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones.
Multiplying any number by 1 leaves it unchanged.
The top number counts the parts; the bottom number tells the total equal parts.
A decimal shows parts of one, with tenths and hundredths after the point.
We can show it with pictures, place-value blocks, or a numeral.
Watch out for
- Misplacing the thousands digit.
- Thinking multiplying by 0 gives the original number.
- Swapping the numerator and denominator.
