This Understanding & Applying Decimals: Tenth & Hundredths Assessment evaluates students' ability to recognise, represent, compare, and apply decimals in a variety of contexts. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of place value up to hundredths, their ability to rename decimals in different forms, and their skill in interpreting decimals in real-world contexts such as money and measurements.

How to Complete:

1. Students begin by shading bar models and decimal grids to represent specific decimal values. The final grid encourages creativity by asking students to create their own decimal representation.
2. Students rename decimals in tenths and hundredths to demonstrate their understanding of decimal equivalence.
3. Students label a number line with decimals, focusing on tenths and hundredths.
4. Students compare pairs of decimals using the symbols >, <, =, including decimals presented as money and measurements.
5. Students arrange a set of decimals in ascending order.
6. Finally, students write how given decimal values (including money and measurements) would be said aloud.

Additional Tips:

1. Useful Reminders: Encourage students to carefully consider the place value of each digit when comparing or ordering decimals.
2. Provide Manipulatives: When working on renaming decimals, students may benefit from using visual aids such as place value charts or decimal grids.

Extension Ideas:

1. Decimal Challenge: Challenge students to create their own decimal problems involving money and measurements, and have peers solve them.
2. Real-World Decimals: Ask students to reflect on real-world contexts where decimals are used, such as shopping, measuring ingredients, or distances, and share their findings with the class.
