Tenths and Hundredths - Worksheet

The "Tenths and Hundredths" worksheet is a mathematics teaching resource designed to help students understand and work with decimal fractions, particularly tenths and hundredths. The worksheet presents a series of questions where students are asked to identify the value of shaded areas on a grid, which represents parts of a whole divided into either ten or a hundred equal parts. These exercises aim to visually reinforce the concept of tenths and hundredths, enabling learners to recognise the decimal values associated with shaded portions of the grid. Additionally, students are tasked with shading specific amounts on the grid themselves, such as shading four squares to represent hundredths or four rows to represent tenths, further engaging them in understanding the relationship between the visual representation and numerical value.

In another section of the worksheet, students are challenged with partitioning tasks, where they break down numbers into tenths and hundredths. This helps them grasp how whole numbers and decimals can be decomposed into smaller fractional parts. For example, they might partition a number like 0.48 into 4 tenths and 8 hundredths, exploring different ways that these parts can combine to form the same total. The worksheet provides a structured approach to learning about decimals, encouraging students to think critically about the place value system and how it extends beyond whole numbers into decimals. This teaching resource effectively combines visual aids with numerical exercises to build a solid foundation in understanding tenths and hundredths as part of the wider mathematics curriculum.
