Decimal Hundredths - PowerPoint

Mathematics resources for Year 4 pupils include a comprehensive look at decimal hundredths, aligning with the fractions (including decimals) segment of the curriculum. Decimals are explained as fractions written differently, representing equal parts of a whole number. To reinforce this concept, various activities are presented where students are tasked with shading areas on a 100 square grid to visually represent decimal numbers. For example, 0.05 is shown as 5/100, illustrating the equivalence between the fraction and the decimal format. This visual approach aids in the understanding that decimals and fractions are two sides of the same coin, both quantifying portions of a whole.

The teaching materials further delve into the conversion between mixed numbers, fractions, and decimals. Worksheets are provided where students can practice this conversion, such as translating 1.77 into 77/1001 or 2.04 into 4/1002. These exercises are designed to help pupils grasp the notion of hundredths in a decimal context and the subtleties of expressing the same value in different numerical forms. Additional activities include shading 100 square grids according to given decimal numbers and writing numbers as both fractions and decimals on a number line. These interactive tasks not only solidify the concept of decimal hundredths but also encourage proficiency in switching between mixed numbers, fractions, and decimals seamlessly.
