PLACE VALUE-PHASE 3 OF 3-HOW YOU CAN ASSIST YOUR CHILD?


PHASE 3
You are in PHASE 3 if your child has successfully passed the written and verbal quiz in PHASE 2.
1.       Teach your child to pronounce ANY number with a decimal CORRECTLY.
a.        For example, 0.537 is NOT pronounced 0 POINT 537 BUT the correct pronunciation is Five-Hundred Thirty Seven Thousandths.


MRS. SANFORD’S COMMENTS:
Too often we get away from CORRECT pronunciation of numbers with decimals.  As a result, when we get older we not only forget the CORRECT pronunciation BUT we FORGET PLACE VALUE.  As a parent you can assist your child by saying ANY number with a decimal CORRECTLY; as a result, the concept will be RETAINED for the LONG –TERM!

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS...???
If not, Thank you for following Golden Rule's PLACE VALUE segment:>).
