Decimals
Non-fiction books are arranged on the shelves numerically.
The books are given a decimal number according to their subject.
Try putting these numbers in order.
1.001 2.362 3.500 4.593.9
5.610 6.629.2 7.737.5 8.745.5
9.808.8 10.994
Look through the non-fiction shelves in the library. What subjects do you find at these numbers.
004 - Data processing Computer science
796.3 - Athletics and outdoor games
500 - Natural Science and mathematics
821 - poetry
993.1 - NZ history
At what Dewey Decimal number would you find the following subjects:
Myths and Legends? - 753
Fashion? - 687
Inventions? - 608
Birds? - 598
Fairy tales? - 398
I like how your post is giving the reader numbers to look for that specific subject. What really interests me is that you have 3 different tasks in one. I think you could improve on having a comment on your blog post so the reader understands better.
