Year 5 Decimals up to 2 decimal places Foundation worksheet

This worksheet uses a hundred piece of base 10 as 1 whole.
It shows children that they can exchange, for example, 10 tenths for 1 whole, or 10 hundredths for
1 tenth. A hundred square where each part represents 1 hundredth, or 0.01, can also help children to see the relationship between a hundredth, a tenth and a whole.

They use place value counters to represent decimal number.
Ask, “How can you represent this number using a place value chart?”
“What is the value of the digit ____ in the number ____?”

You can use this supporting sentence to help your child.

________tenths are equivalent to ______ whole.
________ hundredths are equivalent to ________ tenths.
________hundredths are equivalent to ______ whole.

When reading or writing a number, children may say “one point fourteen"
instead of “one point one four”.
• When there are hundredths and tenths but no ones in a number, children may forget to include the zero placeholder in the ones column.
