An elementary math app for learning decimals (0.1 & 0.01) using a 100-grid. Color in squares (0.01) and rows (0.1) to build decimals like 0.37, compare sizes side-by-side to see that 0.3 is bigger than 0.25, and practice addition by carrying over to 1 when the grid is full!
About this app
This interactive educational tool helps elementary school students understand decimals (0.1 and 0.01) using a visual 100-grid model. Users can click to paint squares, where each individual square represents 0.01 and a full row of ten represents 0.1. The app features dedicated modes for creating decimals, comparing two decimal numbers side-by-side, and adding decimals visually with carry-over support.
