On an ordinary day after school, two best friends, fifth-grade students Anna and Tanya were doing their homework in mathematics. They opened the textbook and saw decimal fractions... I don't understand anything! What's happened? These ... like them ... but ... decimal fractions. We didn't pass them! Tanya was outraged. Solve the problem with decimal fractions - Anna reads. - In the spring, they sowed 0.9 fields, and harvested only 0.6 fields. How much crop was not harvested from the field?

All the same, they sowed 0 or 9? Tanya asked. All the same, they sowed 0 or 9? Tanya asked. Maybe add 9 to 0? Anna suggested. No, we should probably choose 0 or 9 ourselves! Anna agreed. And just as the girls wanted to write it down, the textbooks began to dance and sing: We really need decimal fractions. What is a crooked letter? Or is it a comma? But what does the comma have to do with it, Maya the fairy will tell us!

Decimal fractions appeared in the works of Arab mathematicians in the Middle Ages and independently in ancient China. But even earlier, in ancient Babylon, fractions of the same type were used, but of course sexagesimal. Decimal fractions appeared in the works of Arab mathematicians in the Middle Ages and independently in ancient China. But even earlier, in ancient Babylon, fractions of the same type were used, but of course sexagesimal. Later, the scientist Hartmann Beyer (1563-1625) published the essay “Decimal Logistics” where he wrote: “... I noticed that technicians and artisans, when measuring any length, very rarely and only in exceptional cases express it in whole numbers of the same name; usually they have to either take small measures, or turn to fractions, in the same way astronomers measure quantities not only in degrees, but also in fractions of a degree, i.e. minutes, seconds, etc., but it seems to me that dividing them into 60 parts is not as convenient as dividing by 10, into 100 parts, etc., because in the latter case it is much easier to add, subtract and generally perform arithmetic operations ; It seems to me that decimal parts, if introduced instead of sexagesimal, would be useful not only for astronomy, but also for all kinds of calculations. Simon Stevin introduced decimal fractions into European practice. Until then, anyone who dealt with non-integer numbers had to fiddle with numerators and denominators.

Today we use decimals naturally and freely. However, what seems natural to us served as a real stumbling block for the scientists of the Middle Ages. IN Western Europe 16th century along with the widespread decimal system for representing integers, sexagesimal fractions were used everywhere in calculations, dating back to the ancient tradition of the Babylonians. It took the bright mind of the Dutch mathematician Simon Stevin to bring the record of both integer and fractional numbers into a single system. Apparently, the impetus for the creation of decimal fractions was the tables of compound interest compiled by him. In 1585 he published the book Tithing, in which he explained decimal fractions. Stevin's notation was not perfect, just like the notation of his colleagues and followers. This is how they would write the number 3.1415: Today we use decimals naturally and freely.

"History of the origin of decimal fractions"

In the 15th century the complete theory of decimal fractions was developed by the Samarkand astronomer Jemshid al-Kashi in the treatise "The Key to Arithmetic" (1427). He detailed the rules for dealing with decimal fractions. It is possible that al-Kashi did not know that decimal fractions were used in China. He himself considered them his invention. His treatises were not known to European scholars. They independently developed the theory of decimal fractions.The French scientist Francois Viet in 1579 published in Paris his work "Mathematical Canon", in which he cited trigonometric tables, in which he used decimal fractions.

2 , 5 = 2 | 5 0,13 = 0 | 13

When writing decimal fractions, he did not adhere to any specific method: sometimes he separated the integer part from the fractional vertical line, sometimes he depicted the numbers of the integer part in bold type, sometimes he wrote the numbers of the fractional part smaller. So, thanks to Vieta, decimal fractions began to penetrate into scientific calculations, but they did not enter into everyday practice.

The Dutch scientist Simon Stevin believed that decimal fractions should be used in all practical calculations. He devoted his work "The Tenth" (1585) to this, in which he introduced decimal fractions, developed rules for arithmetic operations with them and proposed a decimal system of monetary units, measures and weights.

Stevin wrote fractions differently than now. A circled 0 was used to indicate the fractional part. For the first time, a comma was used when writing fractions in 1592. In England, instead of a comma, they began to use a dot, in the USA it is still used.

The use of a comma as a separator, like a period, was proposed in 1616-1617. famous English mathematician John Napier.

Astronomer Johannes Kepler used the decimal point in his work

In Russia, the doctrine of decimal fractions was first expounded by Leonty Filippovich Magnitsky in his Arithmetic.

2 Section

Rules and definitions

Definition.

Fractions whose denominators are powers of ten, that is, 10, 100, 1000, and so on, are called decimal fractions. They are written with a comma, which separates the integer part from the fractional part. The record of the fractional part contains as many digits as there are zeros in the record of the denominator of the corresponding ordinary fraction.

Operations with decimals.

At addition (subtraction) of decimal fractions necessary:

1) if necessary, equalize the number of decimal places,
adding zeros to the corresponding fraction.
2) Write the fractions so that their commas are one under the other.
3) Add (subtract), ignoring the comma.
4) Put a comma in the sum (difference) under the commas, added (subtracted) fractions.

Multiplying two decimalsis done like this:
1) numbers are multiplied without taking into account commas.
2) the comma in the product is placed in such a way as to separate as many characters on the right as it is separated in both factors
taken together.
1,1 0,2 = 0,22 ; 1,1 1,1 = 1,21 ; 2,2 0,1 = 0,22 .

When multiplying a decimal by 10, 100,

1000, etc., in this fraction it is necessary to move the comma to the right by as many digits as there are zeros in the multiplier.
0,065 1000 = 0065, = 65 ;

To divide a decimal by a natural number, necessary:
1) divide the fraction by this number, ignoring the comma;
2) put a comma in the private when the division of the whole part ends.

When dividing a decimal by 10, 100, 1000, ...,
it is necessary to move the comma in this fraction to the left by as many characters as
how many zeros are in the divisor.
34,9: 10 = 3,49 ;

At dividing a decimal by a decimal, first we move the comma in the dividend and divisor to the right by as many characters as there are after the decimal point in the divisor. And then we perform division by a natural number.
543,96: 0,3 = 5439,6: 3 = 1813,2 ;
At
comparing decimalsFirst of all, we compare the integer parts (located to the left of the comma). If the integer parts are equal, then compare the fractional parts. If the number of characters after the decimal point for the compared fractions does not match, then we assign zeros to the fraction with fewer characters and compare the resulting numbers of fractional parts.

At rounding a number to some decimal place, the numbers in all the following digits are replaced with zeros, and those after the decimal point are discarded. If the digit following the remaining digit is 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, then the remaining digit is increased by 1. If it is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4, then the remaining digit is left unchanged.

Round to tenths 12 8 ≈ 130; 5678 ≈5680

    Decimals Grade 5 Project

    On a typical day after school, my two best friends, fifth-grade students Annika and Lilya, were doing their math homework. They opened the textbook and saw decimal fractions... I don't understand anything! What's happened? These ... like them ... but ... decimal fractions. We didn't pass them! Lily was outraged. Solve the problem with decimal fractions - Annika reads. - In the spring, they sowed 0.9 fields, and harvested only 0.6 fields. How much crop was not harvested from the field?

    Lily asked. Maybe add 9 to 0? Annika suggested. No, we should probably choose 0 or 9 ourselves! Annika agreed. And just as the girls wanted to write it down, the textbooks began to dance and sing: We really need decimal fractions. What is a crooked letter? Or is it a comma? But what does the comma have to do with it, Maya the fairy will tell us!

    Please to my kingdom! I found out that you do not know what decimal fractions are? And after visiting my castles, you will learn all about decimal fractions. We agree! - the girls said in unison and ended up in the kingdom.

    1st castle, where you will be introduced to the history of decimal fractions 3rd castle, where you will be taught how to perform actions with decimal fractions 5th castle, where you will be told a fairy tale about decimal fractions Exit from the kingdom 4th castle, where you meet exciting tasks that have decimal fractions 2nd lock in which you will learn Interesting Facts with decimals

    Decimal fractions appeared in the works of Arab mathematicians in the Middle Ages and independently in ancient China. But even earlier, in ancient Babylon, fractions of the same type were used, but of course sexagesimal. Later, the scientist Hartmann Beyer (1563-1625) published the essay “Decimal Logistics” where he wrote: “... I noticed that technicians and artisans, when measuring any length, very rarely and only in exceptional cases express it in whole numbers of the same name; usually they have to either take small measures, or turn to fractions, in the same way astronomers measure quantities not only in degrees, but also in fractions of a degree, i.e. minutes, seconds, etc., but it seems to me that dividing them into 60 parts is not as convenient as dividing by 10, into 100 parts, etc., because in the latter case it is much easier to add, subtract and generally perform arithmetic operations ; It seems to me that decimal parts, if introduced instead of sexagesimal, would be useful not only for astronomy, but also for all kinds of calculations. Simon Stevin introduced decimal fractions into European practice. Until then, anyone who dealt with non-integer numbers had to fiddle with numerators and denominators. (Material provided by Egor Gorokhov)

    Why did people switch from ordinary fractions to decimals? Yes, because the actions with them are simpler, especially addition and subtraction. Add the fractions 3/50 and 7/40. First you need to find the least common multiple of their denominators (this is the number 200), then divide it by 50 and multiply the result (the number 4) by the numerator and the denominator of the first fraction. It turns out 12/200. Then you need to divide 200 by 40 and multiply the quotient (number 5) by the numerator and denominator of the second fraction. It turns out 35/200. We reduced fractions to a common denominator. Only now can we add up the numerators and get the answer: 47/200. And if these fractions are presented as a decimal notation: 3/50=0.06; 7/40 \u003d 0.175, the amount is instantly - this is 0.235. Of course, the number 1/7 has to be written only with a certain accuracy, 0.143 or 0.14287, but everything in life has its limits of accuracy. Only in the first quarter of the 18th century. fractional numbers began to be written using a simple decimal point. In some countries, and in particular in Russia, a comma is used instead of a dot. It was introduced by the German mathematician Georg Andreas Böckler in 1661.

Stevin's notation was not perfect, just like the notation of his colleagues and followers. Here is how they would write the number 3.1415: (Material provided by Dmitry Kruglikov)

    We have heard a lot about air. Air is 99.96% composed of three gases: nitrogen, oxygen and argon. Carbon dioxide contains 0.03%, the rest accounts for 0.01%.

    Of great importance for the knowledge of the world is the problem of the numerical ratio between the atoms of various elements. If we compare the iron, cobalt and nickel available on the whole Earth, it turns out that the globe consists of: Iron 92% Cobalt 0.5% Nickel 7.5% The most accurate chemical analyzes of a huge number of meteorites that fell to Earth gave wonderful results. It turned out that in iron meteorites the percentage of iron, cobalt and nickel amazingly coincides with their content on our planet. (Material provided by Gleb Ivshin)

    How to add and subtract ask her. She will answer: “Remember the algorithm for adding or subtracting decimal fractions.” To begin with, the number of decimal places, you equalize, Write them in a column and of course, know That the comma should be under the comma, And then just decide. Do the addition or subtraction first, without paying any attention to the comma. Well, in your answer, of course, you put a comma under the comma in these fractions. You remember these rules forever, so that in your memory they remain like twice two! You can tell me a lot, About what decimal fractions are, About what you can at the end of the fractional part, To the right, discard or insert zeros. Well, how to compare them, you tell me. Well, it's certainly easier than ever. Compare the whole parts of the decimal fraction, And the one that has more of it, Of course, there will be more. Well, if those parts are just equal, Then what should I do, you tell me. If two decimal fractions have equal integer parts, You look at the first of the mismatched digits, And the one with the larger one, of course, will also have the larger one. Do you remember everything, you tell me? If not, ask Galina Vasilievna, (Verse provided by Kristina Nichiporuk)

    Vasya found sunken treasures in the river and brought them home. He decided to sell them to a rich man. But the rich man deceived him for 1,234,567 rubles. How much are treasures really worth if 0.5 grams of treasure costs $120.5 and their weight is 564.67 grams?

    Katya) The cabbage butterfly caterpillar eats 10g per month. cabbage. The tit eats 100 caterpillars daily. Calculate how much cabbage "saves" for 1 month (30 days) a family of tits, consisting of a female, a male and 4 chicks, if we assume that the chick eats 2 times less than an adult tit.

    Biyanova Masha) Kolya dreamed of a chocolate bar, which is 3.7 m long and 2.1 m wide. Tolya dreamed of a chocolate bar of the same length, but three times as large as Kolya's. By how many meters is the width of the chocolate that Tolya dreamed of longer than the width that Kolya dreamed of? fractions? Authors: Masha Volkova, Lisa Vasilyeva In the city where fractions lived, such as 1 2/10, 2 98/100, 1872/10000, 5/100 and generally with denominators 10, 100, 1000, etc., everyone lived very friendly. No one beat anyone, did not offend, and no one argued. There were beautiful houses in this city, and there were beautiful flowers on the windows. Each fraction had its own house and garden. Bulk apples, cherries, pears, and various other flowers grew in the garden. There were also schools there. Small fractions went there with a denominator of 10. There were also adult fractions with denominators from 100 to 100,000 and very old ones with a denominator from 100,000 to infinity. Adult fractions ran to work.

    For a day they sat in rocking chairs and read books, and sometimes slapped on the bottoms of fractions-babies for disobedience or pranks, or read fairy tales to them. But one day Shtrikh attacked the city with his army. He mercilessly killed everyone, burned houses, robbed them. The war lasted for ten years. First one won, then the other, but no one could win the war. But one kind Wizard helped the helpless fractions. He extinguished the burning houses, returned the loot and drove the stroke away. Only one question worried the Wizard: "How to cure the wounded shots?". He thought for a long time, and finally came up with. Instead of a fractional line, he gave fractions commas, removed denominators, and such fractions as 1/100, 32/1000, etc. added after the integer part on the right 1, 2, 3, etc. zeros, depending on how many there were in the denominator.

    Girls in the kingdom of decimal fractions. On this journey, they learned a lot of new things, and now they can do any problem with decimal fractions!

Mathematics teacher Voronenko I. E.


Introduction

On the most ordinary day after school, two best friends, fifth-grade students Katya and Ira, were doing their homework in mathematics. They opened the textbook and saw decimals...

I don't understand anything! What's happened? These… like their… a… decimals. We did not pass them! - Ira was indignant.

Solve the problem with decimal fractions - Katya reads. - “In the spring they sowed 0.9 fields, and harvested only 0.6 fields. How much crop was not harvested from the field?

All the same, did they sow 0 or 9? - Ira asked.

Maybe you need to add 9 to 0? - Katya suggested.

No, we should probably choose 0 or 9 ourselves!

Katya agreed. And just as the girls wanted to write it down, the textbooks began to dance and sang:

Decimals

We really need.

What is a crooked letter?

Or is it a comma?

But what does the comma have to do with it, the fairy Maya will tell us!


Here comes the fairy!

Please to my kingdom! I found out that you don't know what decimals are?

And after visiting my castles, you will learn all about decimal fractions.

We agree! - the girls said in chorus and ended up in the kingdom.


Kingdom of decimals

The first castle where you will be introduced to the history of decimal fractions.

2nd castle, in which you will learn interesting facts about decimal fractions.

The 3rd castle, in which you will be taught how to perform actions with decimal fractions.

4th castle, where you will meet with exciting tasks that have decimal fractions.

5th castle, where you will be told a fairy tale about decimal fractions.

Lock 1 From the history of decimals

Decimal fractions appeared in the works of Arab mathematicians in the Middle Ages and independently in Ancient China. But before, in Ancient Babylon, used fractions of the same type, but of course sexagesimal.

Later, the scientist Hartmann Beyer published the essay “Decimal Logistics” where he wrote: “... I noticed that technicians and artisans, when they measure any length, very rarely, in exceptional cases, express it in integers of one name; usually they have to either take small measures, or turn to fractions, in the same way astronomers measure quantities not only in degrees, but also in fractions of a degree, i.e. minutes, seconds, etc., but it seems to me that their division into 60 parts is not as convenient as the division into 10,100 parts, etc., because in the latter case it is much easier to add, subtract and generally perform arithmetic operations; It seems to me that decimal parts, if introduced instead of sexagesimal, would be useful not only for astronomy but also for all kinds of calculations.

Simon Stevin introduced decimal fractions into European practice. Until then, anyone who dealt with non-integer numbers had to fiddle with numerators and denominators.


Lock 2 Decimals in a person's life

We have heard a lot about air. Air is 99.96% composed of 3 gases: nitrogen, oxygen and argon.


Castle 3 Interesting

Of great importance for the knowledge of the world is the problem of the numerical ratio between the atoms of various elements.

If we compare the iron, cobalt and nickel available on the whole Earth, it turns out that the globe consists of:

Iron by 92%

Cobalt at 0.5%

Nickel by 7.5%

The most accurate chemical analyzes of a huge number of meteorites that fell to Earth gave remarkable results. It turned out that in iron meteorites the percentage of iron, cobalt and nickel coincides with their content on our planet.


Castle 4 Challenge

3.2 m of fabric was used for the coat, and 2.63 m for the suit. How much fabric did you use for the coat and suit together?

3.2+2.63=5.83 m.
