Partitioning Decimals - Tenths and Hundredths (A) WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet helps students build a solid understanding of place value by partitioning decimals into ones, tenths, and hundredths. Part whole models and place value counters are used throughout to reinforce conceptual understanding and allow students to visualise and explain how decimal numbers are structured.

In Section A, pupils are provided with 8 decimals numbers which are represented by place value counters. They are asked to partition the numbers writing their answers in the part whole models.

In Section B, learners are asked to draw place value counters on to a place value grid for 5 numbers before partitioning.
