โ ๏ธ Common Mistakes & Teacher Fixes
Why students stumble: Decimal place values are determined relative to the decimal point (tenths, hundredths), not relative to the end of the written numeral.
Why students stumble: Omitting the decimal changes the scale by an order of magnitude (73 instead of 7.3).
Why students stumble: 0.5 represents 5 tenths (50 hundredths), while 0.05 represents 5 hundredths. Adding unlike units without common denominator scaling is invalid.
