L.C. To be able to recognise and write decimal equivalents to 1⁄4, 1⁄2, 3⁄4.
What do each of the fractions say?
Using the image below, show each fraction by shading the 100-blocks.
Start with 1/2.
How many tenths there are in the 100-block?
How many hundredths are there in the 100-block?
How many hundredths are there in a tenth?
How many tenths are there in 1/2 of the 100-block?
How many hundredths are there in 1/2 of the 100-block?
There are 5 tenths.
So we know that 1⁄2 = 5 tenths.
Write the tenths as a fraction and decimal.
Let’s repeat this with 1/4.
How many tenths are there in 1/4 of the 100-block?
How many hundredths are there in 1/4 of the 100-block?
There are 25 hundredths
So we know that 1⁄4 = 25 hundredths.
Write the tenths as a fraction and decimal.
Let’s repeat this with 3/4.
How many tenths are there in 3/4 of the 100-block?
How many hundredths are there in 3/4 of the 100-block?
There are 75 hundredths
So we know that 3/4 = 75 hundredths.
Write the tenths as a fraction and decimal.
