What this lesson shows
Fixes a mistake
Six tenths is a column; six hundredths is six small squares.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: 6/100. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- A tenth is a whole column
- A hundredth is one small square
- The place tells the size
- A 0 holds the tenths place
Helping at home
Say the amount, then ask which place it names. Tenths go right after the point; hundredths go one place further, with a 0 in the tenths place when there are no tenths. Read each answer back by its last place.
If your kid gets stuck
Is it tenths or hundredths? Then choose the place.
