Tenths
Mathematics · Fractions · conceptual
Count up and down in tenths; recognise that tenths arise from dividing an object into 10 equal parts and from dividing one-digit numbers or quantities by 10
What mastery looks like
- Count: one tenth, two tenths, three tenths … up to ten tenths (one whole)
- Show that dividing a shape into 10 equal parts gives tenths
- Explain that 3 ÷ 10 = 3/10
Check your understanding
