Decimals are numbers that show parts of a whole, separated by a decimal point. It’s like slicing a cake into several pieces and taking just a few slices.
Vedic math helps us understand numbers more visually and simply, which is perfect for learning about decimals!
Imagine you have 1 rupee, and it is made up of 100 paise.
Example: If you have 50 paise, you have half a rupee, which we write as 0.50 rupees.
Think of a rupee as a long, straight ruler. Divide it into 10 big marks (each mark is 10 paise).
If you color 3 of those big marks, you have 30 paise, which is the same as 0.30 rupees.
Adding Decimals: If you spend 20 paise (0.20 rupees) on a eraser and 30 paise (0.30 rupees) on an pencil, you spend a total of 50 paise, which is 0.50 rupees.
Subtracting Decimals: If you start with 1 rupee and spend 60 paise on stickers, you have 40 paise left, or 0.40 rupees.
Decimals are a fun way to see how parts make up a whole, just like pieces of a rupee! Using simple, everyday examples like spending money helps make decimals easy to understand and relevant for young learners.
