This educational math tutorial guides students through the process of writing decimals in expanded form. The instructor demonstrates two distinct methods for every example: using decimal notation (e.g., 0.5 + 0.03) and using fractional notation (e.g., 5/10 + 3/100). The video covers six practice problems that progress in difficulty, starting with basic decimals and moving to mixed numbers with whole number parts, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of place value.
