A decimal number has a decimal point followed by digits that show the fractional part.

Shows us how many equal parts in a whole.

The result of multiplying a number by an integer.

Describe and write decimal numbers with hundredths in different ways

Maths

In this unit pupils will identify hundredths as part of a whole and describe and represent hundredths as a decimal fraction. They will compare and order decimal numbers with hundredths. In the future unit pupils will use their knowledge of decimal place value to convert between and compare metres and centimetres and explain that different lengths can be composed additively and multiplicatively.

In the prior unit pupils described, represented and ordered tenths as a decimal fraction. They rounded a decimal number with tenths to the nearest whole number. In this unit pupils will identify hundredths as part of a whole and describe and represent hundredths as a decimal fraction. They will compare and order decimal numbers with hundredths.

Understand hundredths as parts of a whole and represent

Write the next decimal number in the sequence after 0.39. 

Tick the ways that 0.25 can be described. 

$$ \frac{30}{100} $$   + $$ \frac{10}{100} $$   = $$ \frac{40}{100} $$  

Here is part of a number line. Which equation matches the representation? 

What is the name of the missing place value column? 

Look at the sequence. Write the missing number as a decimal.

Which of these representations does not represent 0.4? 

Write this representation as a decimal number.
