8. The sewing thread length is 2.375 m. What is the value of the digit 7? Show your answer and a brief explanation.

9. Challenge (Extension): Create a decimal number between 3 and 4 that includes thousandths (for example, 3.___). Write your number and explain the value of the digit in the thousandths place.

Differentiation strategies: For students needing support, use sentence starters such as "The 3 in 0.03 is __ because …" and concrete models (place value chart or decimal grids). Allow fidget tools and short movement breaks. For language supports, pair students with a peer and provide written key vocabulary (decimal point, tenths, hundredths, thousandths).

Extension activity for advanced learners: Create three decimal cards (up to thousandths), order them from smallest to largest and quiz a partner. Aim to include at least one example using $ or metres (for example $2.375 or 1.204 m).
