We are learning to understand what a tenth means.
- I can describe and record tenths in a variety of different ways and can locate them on a number line.
- I can create and identify tenths of shapes & can find tenths of numbers.
In Primary 4 we have been learning about tenths in a range of ways. We know that a fraction means equal parts and that we can use our knowledge of the ten times table to help us find a tenths.
We were set the challenge of drawing a tenths number line. We used each others mistakes to get it write in the end, remembering that ten tenths is the same as 1 whole. Then we took it in turns to call out fractions and find them on the number line. We recognised that five tenths are equivalent to one half.
We used coloured counters to make a tenth number line in class, this helped us recognised that tenths are 10 equal parts.
Pizza fractions helped us to find a fraction of a shape.
We used Sum Dog to help us develop accuracy of our 10 times tables and and we also completed written tasks to find tenths of a number and shape.
Helping at home:
- Ask us our 10 times table.
- Ask us what is one tenth of a number, for example: ‘What is one tenth of 120?’
