Do you know how to plot decimal values on a number line? Let's try this problem to practice. 

Plot $0.2$0.2 on the number line.

  1. 01

Learn

We can zoom in and divide $\frac{1}{100}$1100 into $10$10 equal pieces to show $\frac{10}{1000}$101000, which we can then use to plot thousandths.

This video shows us how to plot decimals with thousandths on a number line.

Question 2

What decimal value is shown on the following number line?

Identify the number in thousandths.

00.0050.010.0150.020.0250.03

 

Remember!

$10$10 thousandths make $1$1 hundredth. This means that $10$10 spaces in between two hundredths on a number line, like  $0.01$0.01 and $0.02$0.02, are thousandths.
