This math topic focuses on expanding four-digit decimal numbers into their word forms, targeting precision in expressing decimal values to the thousandths and ten-thousandths place. The problems require students to convert decimals such as 0.7409 or 1.0005 into a format that combines number place values (like tenths, hundredths, etc.) with their corresponding textual descriptions. Students utilize this conversion skill in a series of exercises designed to strengthen their understanding of decimal place values in a context that extends to millions and thousandths.
