The 5Y Decimal Padlet by andrew schulz https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals 1 Write your definition of a decimal on this padlet. 2. List as many areas in our world where you might see examples of decimals being used. en-us 2017-07-31 23:38:55 UTC 2025-11-19 04:55:25 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Prizecup.png Jaydon.G https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991647 1. A decimal is a dot that separates whole numbers with fractions. Fractions are known as decimal and decimals can be known has fractions. Decimals occur when you divide a number that doesn't fit into the other number like when you divide 6 into 23. A decimal starts at a tenth then a hundredth then a thousandth and so on. The reason it starts at a tenth is because if it started at a firsth it would equal one while number. 

2. Pi is an example of decimals because it has a recouring amount decimals, pi is the tiniest distance of a space of a circular. In a daily bases you see decimals when you go shopping, running, swimming, measurement, fuel prices, force, money, long distance running, university score]]> 2017-08-03 00:01:57 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991647 Damon https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991653 1. A decimal is a tenth of a number, for example from 1.1 to 1.9 after 1.9 its 2 then 2.1 2.2... This helps in races to find out who won otherwise you would find that there would be a lot more draws. There are also recurring decamals witch mean it goes 3.14159265897... or 3.666666 recurring means it goes on forever and will never end or li,e the number pi, it never ends and there is no pattern has bin found so far. 2. Decimals are also used in maths racing like I said and in flying because they need to know exactly when to drop down the wheels to late then you'll crash land. And also the altitude because a small change in the altitude can lead to the plans flaps turning to much which can change the flight path of a plane. Decamals are everywhere in our lives like how much you pay for your potatoes, depending on how much they weigh which will determined how much it costs. Also in petrol and how much you put in your car that gets measured down to the decimal. Desamals go from tenths, hundredths, thousandths tens of thousandths, hundreds of thousandths, then millionths. And how when some people work out, on a scale. And in shotput how they measure your shot. Also in a stopwatch. Or a car and its speed. Also a decimal is represented by a dot that looks like a full stop.]]> 2017-08-03 00:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991653 Tarkin https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991672 1. A decimal is a dot that goes next to a number and it gives more of a specific part of that number. Its also got to do with place value, for example there is a chart called units, tens and hundreds but in decimals its tenths, hundredths and thousandths but no uniths or something like that. Also it got stuff to do with fractions but I don't no why.
2. Decimals would be used for fractions. Also it's used for pi since the the number is full of decimals which is 3.141592653589 and so forth and the reason pi is so long is because the decimals made it long because if it was just 3 then it would just be a normal. Its also in running because when you are getting timed that go in decimals or hundredths of a second and its also in swimming. It could also be used for money when you have cents, for example if you have $100 and 50 cents it would be written like $100.50 cents. Another one is

A decimal is something that is a little dot that separates a Whole number and a little number. A decimal is also a dot. A decimal seperates two numbers. Here is an example Imagine if i was in a swimming race and the other kid got 34 seconds and i got 34 seconds and the Kid got 34.54 seconds and i got 34.53 i would win.

I think decimals is a dot that seperates numbers and make it a different number for example if the you had the number 1 and then you put a decimal next to the 1. Then you can put numbers next to the decimal Like 1.1 which is a different number to just on one. And the decimals separate numbers into tenths, hundredths, thousandths, ten thousandths and so on. And when you put a decimal next to a whole number it is know longer a whole number.

2. You can see the decimal in a professional cricketers average in batting. In swimming and running rases because the reason they have the decimals is in case of a really close finish or if you are going to break the world record and you get the same whole number but not the same decimal number when you are aiming a sphero you have these numbers come up with decimals. And also when you are in the cop pit in a aeroplane for the altitude you have decimal for example if the aeroplane was 40,000.3 feet up in the sky. Also when you in the car and you are driving on a race track and someone holds a speed gun at your car it will come up with your speed for example if the driver was going 100.35 kilometres an hour . And there is measurement fro example when you are measuring a distance you have decimal for example when you hav a door you have to measure distance of the door and it might be 100

Here is an example a decimal so imagine that I was doing a running race and I was versing someone if i got 15 seconds and someone esle got 15 seconds we would get the same time but when you add a decimal it could become 15.36 or 15.21 so then we could tell who the winner is. So the person with 15.21 would have won that race. Decimals separates the hole numbers.]]> 2017-08-03 00:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991769 Matthew Gardiner https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991770 A decimal is a dot that splits the number into tenths, hundredths, thousandths and more. So for example if you are doing a rating you might give this movie 0.2 out of 10 or a 5.6 or an 8.7. It's also for money, gas and fracti]]> 2017-08-03 00:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991770 Nathan https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991858 1: A decimal point is a dot that separates the whole numbers to the tenths and numbers that aren't whole numbers. A decimal number is a number less than 1 so it is a fragment of a whole number. 
2: The places that we can find decimals are in McDonalds, KFC and hungry Jack's because it tells you how much burgers and chips are. Also when you go in a Composition they will sometimes go into decimals if the races were very close. Also in velocity sometime it won't be a whole number. Decimals also appear in petrol stations because the petrol is normally not a]]> 2017-08-03 00:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991858 Jaiden https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991878 Decimals are in the rational section with fractions and percentages. There is a dot which seperates the whole numbers with the rational numbers. Some examples are tenths, hundredths, thousandths and tens of thousandths, those are some categories in place value. There are plenty more. 0.5 can be known as 1 halve or 50%. Some are irrational like pie or 0.3 onwards. You would put a line on top of 3. Pie is a number with no pattern like 2 square root. Something confusing is that 3 thirds equal 1 whole.  But in decimals it is 0.9 reccering



One example is races. If it was not even a second difference between two racers, then it will all go down to decimals. This really helps so that each person has a fair place. Another thing is shopping. Since we have 100 cents to equal a dollar we have to use decimals. For example you by something for 232 dollars and 60 cents, it is much better than saying 23260 cents. You could also use decimals for petrol. You have to remember every cent counts. If you by five things that cost $5.99, then it would be $29.95, We do not have 1 cent coins anymore but you can still pay 5 cents. You could also use measurements for high jump, triple jump and long jump. You can also get them in shotput and discus.]]> 2017-08-03 00:05:02 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991878 Cheran fernando https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991887 Desimals are a very special number they are very precise as they are a combination of a whole number and a number between 1 and 0. They are related with fractions and percentages they are used a lot in division. There are no oneths but there are tenths and so so on

Decimals are used in shopping. Getting petroleum at the gas station, when timing something, doing division, multiplication, distance, speed, pie, trees, games, iPads, planes, cars, vans, animals, mathematics,holes, electricity, plants, humans, chairs, paper, carpentery words, money, everywhere you can find decimals]]> 2017-08-03 00:05:10 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991887 Luca Carbone https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991900 2017-08-03 00:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991900 Thomas Lilley https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991907 1. A decimal point seperates a whole number into fractions of a number so say if a race was very close and they almost tied they would measure with decimals so they could see who wins or not.

2. A few places where you find decimals would be in prices for example 34.57 would be a price like when you buy food or furnature decimals are pretty much everywhere wven when you dont think about it it would even be in junk food another would like i mentioned in q1 races when they are really close you would also ]]> 2017-08-03 00:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991907 Samuel.r.ryder.5y. https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991915 1. A decimal is basicly a part of a whole number. Kind of like fractions but different. It looks like a dot. For example: 9.9 or 0.98768453. 
2. You might see decimals in races when someone times you or when your measuring distances for example: seeing how far it is from your house to your friends house or seeing how far or high you jumped in long jump, high jump or triple jump. ]]> 2017-08-03 00:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179991915 Thomas.H https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179992002 1: a decimal is a thenth of a number. It can make numbers bigger. With decimals the number can go on forever. 1.2 that's what a decimal is it's a little circle that goes behind a whole number. A decimal makes a whole number way different then it should. I guess a decimal is a small dot that makes the number different then it should be. Decimals are used for fractions as well. Decimals help alot without decimals numbers would look like this 1222 and not like this1.2222 so yeah decimals should help you with numbers but don't get confused with a full stop. Pi has a decimal in it 3.14159 26535 89793 see decimal. Decimals are everywhere at gas stations, banks, shops for buying stuff and so much more I could maybe go on all day if I had to. Decimals are for math and math is technically everywhere. Decimals can split numbers aswell. You don't say thens you say thenths same with hundreds aswell. You may be able to find the decimals on the place value chart and other maths chart. Coding has decimals so you can choose the exact number you need for the code. 2: examples for decimals well decimals are pretty much everywhere I mean there at shops, racing, time ]]> 2017-08-03 00:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179992002 Toby 49781_7 https://padlet.com/andrewschulz1/decimals/wish/179992006 Decimals are things that seperate whole numbers to rational numbers. We can see decimals in sport & in time's. A decimal looks like this: •. My example is 1•1. The first one means one whole number, the second number is not whole, it is a tenth. If my number was 1•11, It would be one whole, one tenth & one hundredth. In a Place Value chart it goes down as the same way it goes up. The Place Value Chart goes like this image a the bottom, this one goes from Millionths to Millions, that is so far! You could see decimals at, sport as I said before, coding & shops & businesses. I will now make a big long example with all the slots of the Place Value Chart. 1,679,621•118073. This is, one million, six hundred & seventy-nine thousand & six hundred & twenty-one point one one eight zero seven three. Back to examples, in mesurement, in pi, which is 3.14159 or just π. Pi comes from Greece. Scientists have tried to find patterns on Pi, they had one for a while then it went all wrong. This means Pi is an irrational number, a number like 0•18297283. It has no pattern, that is why it is irrational! Mabye it could be in iPad storage?

For example 0.2. The number on the right tells you that it is point two of a number. You can also turn the number on the right into a percentage. 0.2 is 20%. The same applies with fractions. The decimal I showed earlier can convert to 1/5 because if you had five 0.2 it would equal 1 whole number. When you are counting decimal points you go left to right. It is like a mirror so the tenths mirros the tens and the hundreds mirros the hundredths.

Decimals also help us to make the number exact eg: instead of the number being 16 the actual number is 16.789. Decimals also have a big part in numbers because of cents with out them it would just be dollar notes.
