The worksheet is an interactive resource designed to help Key Stage 2 students grasp the concept of decimal equivalents for tenths and hundredths. The first activity requires students to use blank hundred squares and a set of random digit cards that range from 0.01 to 0.99. The task involves selecting a digit card, reading the decimal value aloud without showing the card, and then representing this decimal on the hundred square. Students are also asked to write the decimal in numerical form. Partners then swap their work to check for accuracy. For added complexity, variations of the activity include focusing solely on tenths or a combination of both tenths and hundredths.

The second activity uses a Place Value (PV) Mat designed for one and two decimal places along with Place Value Counters. Students pick a card that displays a random number with one or two decimal places and then use the counters to represent this number on the PV mat. This visual representation helps solidify their understanding of place value in decimals. Partners are encouraged to review each other's work to ensure comprehension. In the third activity, students are provided with number lines and hundredths digit cards, which may represent fractions or decimals. They select two digit cards and place them accurately on the number line, then explain the positioning of their cards to reinforce their understanding. To challenge students further, the number line can be altered to have fewer divisions or more digit cards can be used. The overall objective of these activities is to enable students to recognise and write decimal equivalents for any number of tenths or hundredths, fostering their numerical literacy.
