Decimal Tenths - Year 4    Year 4 maths programme of study - Number - fractions (including decimals) - recognise and write decimal equivalents of any number of tenths    In this KS2 maths teaching resource pupils practise recognising and writing tenths as fractions and decimals. It is an ideal teaching aid to use in a lesson covering the year 4 curriculum objective listed above. Content includes:    - Write the number represented by the model as a fraction and decimal activity and worksheet  - Shade the model to represent the decimal number activity  - Write the numbers indicated on the number line as a fraction and decimal activity  - Complete the table activity  - The previous 3 activities are included on an accompanying worksheet

<p>Decimal tenths are an integral part of the Year 4 mathematics curriculum, where students learn to understand fractions and decimals as equal parts of a whole number. The concept is introduced as decimals being another form of writing fractions, with the focus on how tenths are expressed in both fractional and decimal forms. For instance, the fraction 1/10 is equivalent to the decimal 0.1. This foundational knowledge is key to grasping how to convert between the two representations and recognising their equivalence.</p>

<p>To consolidate this understanding, a variety of teaching resources and worksheets are utilised. These include visual models and number lines that aid in illustrating decimal tenths. Students are tasked with activities such as shading models to represent certain decimal numbers, writing numbers as both fractions and decimals, and completing tables that juxtapose the two forms. Examples are given to guide students, such as understanding that 5/10 is the same as 0.5, or that 0.7 can be represented as 7/10. Through these interactive exercises, students develop a concrete understanding of decimal tenths and their relationship to fractions.</p>
