This teaching slides resource introduces hundredths by exploring what happens when one tenth is divided into 10 equal parts. Students learn to record hundredths using a place value chart, read and write decimals to the hundredths place, and apply their understanding through a Decimal Hunt activity.
The resource builds from prior knowledge of tenths before introducing one hundredth on a number line, connecting the new concept to familiar representations before moving to place value.
What's included:
Teaching slides recapping tenths on a number line, dividing one tenth into 10 equal parts and identifying hundredths on a number line
7 guided example slides: reading and regrouping hundredths in a place value chart, including what happens when we have 10 hundredths and equivalent representations (e.g. 50 hundredths = 0.50 = 5 tenths)
14 practice slides: read decimals from a place value chart, "Decimal Hunt" activity to find specific decimals in a grid
