Tenths and Hundredths

A whole square can be split into ten equal strips or into one hundred equal tiny squares. On a graduated line, each small mark shows where a part sits.

In the picture

  1. Plain clay tile: one whole square.
  2. Three blue strips out of ten equal strips: three tenths.
  3. Blue tiny squares in the hundred-square grid: some hundredths.
  4. Red dot on the graduated line: the position of three tenths.

Examples

  • Sharing a chocolate bar into ten equal pieces.
  • Reading 0.25 on a ruler or a measuring cup.
