Max Maths, Year 4, Work Book, Tenths

The "Max Maths, Year 4, Work Book" provides a series of exercises focused on understanding tenths in decimal form. Practice 1: Tenths includes activities that start with identifying the decimal number represented by coloured parts of shapes. Students are asked to observe the shaded sections and write the corresponding decimal number for each. This visual representation helps children grasp the concept of tenths and how they translate into decimals. Subsequent tasks involve writing decimal numbers in words, which reinforces the connection between written and numerical expressions of decimals.

The workbook continues with interactive tasks, such as colouring a specified fraction of a rectangle and then writing the decimal number that matches. This hands-on approach aids in solidifying the relationship between fractions and decimals. Students are also prompted to read fractions aloud and convert them into decimal numbers, bridging the gap between the two numerical systems. Another activity requires students to colour fractions of shapes to correspond with given decimal numbers, further enhancing their comprehension. Lastly, the workbook includes exercises where children fill in the blanks to identify the place value and the value of each digit in a decimal number, as well as writing digits in a place-value chart based on given clues, thereby strengthening their understanding of the place value system in decimals.
