Understanding Decimal Place Value

WALT & Success Criteria

WALT: We are learning to identify the value of digits in decimal numbers (to hundredths).

Success criteria: I can point to the Ones, Tenths and Hundredths places. I can write digits in the correct column. I can explain the value of a digit (e.g. 3 in 4.3 is three tenths).

Differentiation: Extra support: work with one number at a time and use counters or place-value cards. Extension: explain how the value changes when a digit moves left or right.

Dyslexia-friendly: Read questions aloud, use a ruler to track lines, and colour-code place value columns when needed.

📊 Part A: Place Value Chart (Tenths)

Instructions: For each number, draw or write the digits into this place value chart: Hundreds | Tens | Ones | Decimal Point | Tenths | Hundredths
1a. 4.3
1b. 7.8
1c. 2.5
1d. 9.1
1e. 6.4

📊 Part B: Place Value Chart (Hundredths)

Instructions: Use the same chart headings (Hundreds | Tens | Ones | Decimal Point | Tenths | Hundredths) and fill the digits for each number below.
1f. 3.25
1g. 5.42
1h. 1.08
1i. 8.99
1j. 6.70

✏️ Part 2: Build the Number

Write the decimal number using the place values given. (Write neatly on the lines.)
2a. Ones = 4   Tenths = 3   Hundredths = 0
2b. Ones = 7   Tenths = 0   Hundredths = 5
2c. Ones = 1   Tenths = 2   Hundredths = 8
2d. Ones = 9   Tenths = 9   Hundredths = 9
2e. Ones = 6   Tenths = 7   Hundredths = 0

🔍 Part 3: Break Apart

For each decimal, write how many Ones, Tenths and Hundredths it has. Use words or digits in the spaces provided.
3a. 3.15

Ones:   Tenths:   Hundredths:

3b. 8.07

Ones:   Tenths:   Hundredths:

3c. 5.90

Ones:   Tenths:   Hundredths:

3d. 6.42

Ones:   Tenths:   Hundredths:

3e. 2.08

Ones:   Tenths:   Hundredths:

Extension (Optional)

Explain in one or two sentences: What does the decimal point tell us? (Use the space below.)
