Currently we only support Decimals and integers DynamoDB's number type. We do not support floats because python cannot support DynamoDB's level of precision. Here is an issue summarizing this: https://github.com/boto/boto3/issues/369. That issue is open to track the ability to use floats. Let's move the conversation to that linked issue.
