LESSON 7
RECOGNIZING PLACE
VALUES IN MONEY
Lesson 7 also uses place value. As I said, the
place value chart keeps adding places to the left
as numbers get bigger.
Now, let’s think about that for a minute. As
we add places to the left, we can show numbers
getting larger. What if I add a place value to the
right of the ones place Will I show numbers
smaller than one The answer is yes. However, I
have to have a way to show where the ones place
is located. We use a dot called a decimal point. A
decimal point is placed after the number that is
in the ones place. The decimal point makes it
possible to show place values less than one.
I want to know all about money.
