Test your understanding of decimal place value. Start with a four-digit number such as 3569, 356.9, 35.69 or 3.569. Spin a random digit, then choose its decimal place value. The starting number will be adjusted by the amount you choose. Work towards a given four-digit target number such as 7832, 783.2, 78.32 or 7.832. You can use a “Wishball” to help you reach the target number. Try to achieve the target with as few additions or subtractions as possible.
