Tenths on a Number Line
A delivery robot is travelling along a path from 0 to 1 kilometre. Each small step is one tenth of a kilometre. Use the number lines to explore tenths, compare distances and help the robot reach its stops.
Read and locate tenths
Remember: 1/10 is written as 0.1. The digits after the decimal point show tenths.
1.The robot is at the fourth tick after 0. What decimal distance has it travelled?
- 0.2
- 0.4
- 0.6
2.Write the decimal for seven tenths. Include the zero before the decimal point.
3.Plot the robot’s three stops—0.2 km, 0.5 km and 0.9 km—on the number line. Label each stop.
Compare the distances
The farther right a decimal is on the number line, the greater its value.
4.Which distance is greater: 0.3 km or 0.8 km? Choose one.
- 0.3 km
- 0.8 km
- They are equal
5.Fill in the symbol to make this statement true: 0.6 0.4. Use <, > or =.
6.Put these robot distances in order from shortest to longest: 0.7 km, 0.1 km, 0.5 km, 0.9 km.
Solve the route puzzle
Use what you know about tenths to complete the robot’s route.
7.Complete the route labels in order: 0, 0.1, , 0.3, , 0.5, , 0.7, , 0.9, 1.
8.The robot has travelled 0.4 km. It needs to reach 0.9 km. How many more tenths of a kilometre must it travel? Show the subtraction or explain your thinking.
9.True or false? 0.5 is halfway between 0 and 1 on a number line. Explain how you know.
