Decimals - Assessment (3)

The assessment for Year 4 students on decimals involves a series of interactive tasks that aim to evaluate their understanding of decimal place values and fractions. Initially, students are presented with a hundred grid, representing one whole, and are asked to determine the fraction of the grid that is shaded. This visual representation helps in reinforcing the concept of fractions and their relation to whole numbers. The assessment continues with an activity where students must draw lines to connect place value grids with their corresponding decimal numbers, enhancing their recognition of the positions of ones, tenths, and hundredths.

Further tasks in the assessment include plotting numbers on a number line and shading parts of a grid to represent hundredths, which not only tests their knowledge of decimals but also their ability to apply it in a practical context. Students are also prompted to express their confidence level with decimals, allowing for self-assessment. In the latter part of the assessment, students are challenged with division problems that require them to use a place value grid to show the answer to dividing a whole number by 100, reinforcing their understanding of how division affects the placement of digits in decimal numbers. The assessment concludes with exercises that involve completing sentences and calculations to demonstrate their grasp of decimal place values and the process of dividing by 100 to convert whole numbers into decimals.
