Max Maths, Year 4, Practice, Tenths

In the "Max Maths, Year 4, Practice" section on tenths, students are introduced to the concept of place value with decimals. They are asked to read descriptions of decimal numbers and place the digits correctly in a place-value chart. For example, if 'six' is in the Ones place, 'four' is in the Tenths place, and 'five' is in the Tens place, students must understand that the Tens place is to the left of the Ones, and the Tenths is to the right. This exercise helps reinforce their understanding of the positions of digits in decimal numbers and the value each digit represents.

The practice section continues with exercises that help students convert fractions to decimals and vice versa. They are given simple fractions with denominators of 10 and asked to write them as decimal numbers. Conversely, they are also provided with decimal numbers and asked to express them as fractions or mixed numbers. This two-way conversion helps solidify their comprehension of the relationship between fractions and decimals. Students are encouraged to refer to their workbooks on pages 155 to 157 for additional practice on these concepts, ensuring they have ample opportunity to become comfortable with tenths and the decimal system.
