Maybe only a few of them are able to read the red card. Teacher will tell the pupils that this is what we are going to learn today. What we are going to learn today is decimal and we read the number as 3.87.

Step 1
Flash back the lesson about place value example:573 3- ones 7-tens 5-hundreds Question :What are behind ones? . Hundreds tens ones . 1/10 1/100 1/1000

It is read as zero point eight seven

 Try a few more questions 1. 0.49 2. 1.8
