Learning journey
Your child is developing a deeper understanding of fractions and decimals — learning to add and subtract fractions, convert between fractions and decimals, and use them to solve practical problems involving measurements and money.
Evidence of understanding
- Count from 3/100 to 12/100 in hundredths
- Explain that 1/10 ÷ 10 = 1/100
- Place several hundredths on a number line between 0 and 1/10
Assessment prompt
If Tenths (age 8+) has £1 and spends 37p, can they say that 37p is 37/100 of a pound — and count up in hundredths from 0/100 to 100/100?
