This is a reasoning worksheet for core students.

Children show their preference when it comes to showing the six tenths as a decimal.

They must then use all models to show four tenths.

As this is the first time that children may encounter decimal numbers and the decimal point, model making, drawing, writing decimal numbers and showing that the decimal point is used to separate whole numbers from decimals is extremely helpful.

Children look at a variety of representations of tenths as decimals on the number line. This leads to representing the tenths in the bar models and finally in the place value charts.

The place value chart shows how tenths fit with the rest of the number system and to understand the need for the decimal point.

Watch for:

Children may forget to include the decimal point.

Children may confuse the words “tens” and “tenths”.

You might ask them:

"If a whole is split into 10 equal parts, then what is each part worth?

Children may forget to include the decimal point. If the number of tenths reaches 10, children may call this “zero point ten” and write 0.10 rather than exchanging for 1 one. Children may confuse the words “tens” and “tenths”. Questions to help with understaning the topic: If a whole is divided into 10 equal parts, what is the value of each part?
