To kickstart our adventure, let’s dive into an engaging story:

A Decimal Adventure

Once upon a time in Decimal Wonderland, the decimal digits lived happily in their magical kingdom. There were Tenths who loved to dance, Hundredths who loved to sing, and even Thousandths who collected shiny coins!

One day, a mysterious number appeared at the kingdom's gate, claiming to be the biggest number ever. The decimal digits gathered together to discover the truth! Each decimal place had to show their value and importance to prove they were just as significant as the whole numbers.

Your Mission

Today, you will help the decimal digits showcase their value. By understanding where each digit belongs, you will help them stand tall and proud.
