Decimals - Recognizing Hundredths - Worksheet

The worksheet focuses on enhancing children's understanding of hundredths, a concept that arises from dividing one whole into one hundred equal parts. It reinforces the idea that one tenth equals ten hundredths. Students are tasked with counting in hundredths both forwards and backwards, and they are required to represent these tenths and hundredths on a place value grid and a number line. The exercises vary in difficulty, with some providing starting points while others do not, challenging the children to count in sequences other than ones and to complete number lines and sequences involving hundredths.

In addition to the numerical exercises, the worksheet includes reasoning and problem-solving activities that involve a Rekenrek, a tool made up of 100 beads. This visual aid represents one whole, and students must determine the fractions represented on both the left and right sides of the Rekenrek. They are then asked to partition these fractions into tenths and hundredths. The worksheet guides students to complete statements that compare fractions, enhancing their understanding of the relationship between tenths and hundredths and encouraging them to explore all possible combinations. The worksheet is designed to develop fluency and precision in dealing with decimals, particularly hundredths.
