25.8 points is like having 25 full candies and almost one more candy that's just starting to melt.
What Is a Point?
A point is like one small candy in a bag of candies, it’s a single unit of something you can count. So if you have 10 points, it’s like having 10 candies.
How Do We Use Points?
When we say 25.8 points, we're saying you have 25 full points and 0.8 of another point, just like having a little bit more than one candy, but not quite two. That extra bit is like the candy that's starting to melt, giving you something in between.
Think about when you're sharing candies with your friend. If you have 25 full candies and almost one more, you can say you have almost 26 candies, just like having almost 26 points!
