Overview

Decimals are special numbers that show parts of a whole. They are written using a dot called a decimal point. For example, 0.5 means half of something. Decimals help us understand and compare numbers that are not whole, like money or measurements. Learning about decimals is important because we use them in everyday life, like when shopping or cooking.
