Max Maths, Year 4, Work Book, Hundredths

The 'Max Maths' workbook for Year 4 provides a comprehensive practice on the concept of hundredths, starting with writing decimal numbers in words. For example, 0.01 is written as 'one hundredth', while 0.06 is 'six hundredths'. More complex numbers like 2.22 and 12.59 are written as 'two point twenty-two' and 'twelve point fifty-nine', respectively. The workbook also includes exercises where students colour parts of a square to represent decimal numbers, such as colouring just one small section for 0.01 or a larger portion for 0.35, helping to visualise the value of hundredths and tenths.

Further activities involve colouring specific fractions of a square to match decimal numbers, such as colouring one-hundredth orange or twenty-five hundredths red. Students are then asked to calculate the total coloured fraction of the square, expressing their answer as both a decimal and a fraction. There are exercises that deepen understanding of place value, where students identify the position and value of digits in decimal numbers. For instance, in the number 14.27, the digit 4 represents four tenths, while the digit 7 represents seven hundredths. Finally, the workbook includes tasks like matching decimal numbers to their corresponding fractions, such as associating 1.0 with 'one whole' and 0.75 with 'three-quarters', reinforcing the relationship between decimals and fractions.
