Year 5: Thursday 14th May – Decimals (Tenths, Hundredths and Thousandths)

Good Morning Year 5! We are continuing with our work on decimals. As we know Decimals have different values when they are put into the place value chart. We can look at how many tenths a figure has, hundredths, thousandths and so on!

Remember you can convert fractions to decimals AND decimals back into fractions.

As you can see in the image below, if your decimal has a digit in the ‘tenths’ column the fraction will be /10. (Random Example: 0.4 as a fraction will be 4/10 because the digit ‘4’ is in the tenths column).

If your decimal has a digit in the ‘hundredths’ column the fraction will be /100. (Random Example: 0.03 as a fraction will be 3/100 because the digit ‘3’ would appear in the hundredths column).

Finally, if your decimal has a digit in the ‘thousandths’ column the fraction will be /1000. (Random Example: 0.006 as a fraction would be 6/1000 because the digit ‘6’ would appear in the thousandths column).

Decimal Place Value Poster HTU. Tenths, Hundredths, Thousandths ...

Independent Task: Your job is to practice converting between decimals and fractions. Now, whether they are fractions over 10, 100 or 1000 depends on if the digit falls into the ‘tenths’ ‘hundredths’ ‘thousandths’ column.

Draw the place value chart out and input the decimals to see where their values are. Remember the decimal point does not move!

Silver (Answer down below on the blog in FULL sentences and use key mathematical vocabulary)

Challenge: This is like a code breaker! Use the key at the bottom to identify the two different decimals. You will have to identify each symbol and then add up the entire row. Then, do the same for the second row :)

    Tim is incorrect, 0.056 isn’t equivalent to 56/100, 0.56 is equivalent to 56/100` 0.056 is equivalent to 56/1000 because if you look at the zeroes there is another zero after the decimal point which means there will be a thousandth in this ( 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) so therefore the fraction will be out of 1000.

    Challenge:

    1.431 or 1 431/1000.
    2.322 or 2 322/1000.

    No I do not agree because if it was 100 it would be 0.56.

  4. Aiva G.

    No i dont agree . I dont agree because 56 . It’s not in the right column 50 is in th hundreths column

      I think that Tim is wrong as 0.56 is equivalent to 56/100 but Tim put 0.056 is equivalent to 56/100 which is wrong as 0.056 is equivalent to 5.6 so that shows that Tim is wrong.

      Challenge

      The first one is 1.431 as the circle is the whole the stars are the 4 tenths the triangles are the 3 hundredths and the pentagon is the 1 thousandth.

      The second one is 2.322 as the circles are the 2 wholes the stars are the 3 tenths the triangles are the 2 hundredths and the pentagons are the 2 thousandths .

    I don’t agree with Tim because he says that 0.056 is equivalent to 56/100 but it’s actually equivalent to 56/1000 so you move three places to the left which will give you 0.056 but if you move 2 places to the right it will give you 0.56.

    1. Mrs Khan

      Well done Ryan.

    2. Mr Janjua

      Well done Ryan, some good reasoning there too! Just don’t forget key vocabulary such as the “tenths, hundredths”

      That’s good to hear that you found it easy, if you want to challenge yourself have a go at Mrs Habib’s GD blog.

    Silver,
    I do not agree with Tim as 0.056 is not equivalent to 56/100, Tim is also wrong because when he was changing the fraction to a decimal Tim moved his decimal number one more space to the right which gave him 0.056 not 0.56 which is the correct answer.

      Well done Musa, good effort.

      Hi Inaaya. Great to see that your working hard. Please go back and check your answers for the Bronze Challenge. There are a few that need to be corrected. Look at the examples shown above, if you need help let me know. Remember to use Mathematical vocabulary to explain your reasoning for the Silver Task. Well done for doing your best. You can email the Bronze Challenge in to yr5up@broadheath.coventry.sch.uk. Thank you Inaaya.

      1. Inaaya W.

        Thank you Mrs. Habib for your comment.Will go through it and will email Bronze Challenge .

    I do not agree with Tim because he said 0.056 is equivalent to 56/100, but if you divide 56 by 100 you get 0.56 not 0.056. He has added a spare place holder and actually divided 56 by 1000.

    1. Miss Cochrane

      Well done Sarina. You are obviously working really hard with your maths work.

    0.645 = 645/1000
    0.783 = 783/1000

    3/100 = 0.03
    56/100 = 0.56
    7/1000 = 0.007
    709/100 = 7.09
    3/10 = 0.3
    32/1000 = 0.032

    Silver

    Tim’s answer of 0.056 from 56/100 is incorrect, because Tim has added an extra 0 to the bottom detonator by mistake and that why he has got his answer. The real answer from 56/100 is 0.56. To get this you have to divide 56 by 100 and this will give you the correct answer.

    1. Miss Cochrane

      Good Armaan, now have a go at the code breaker.

        This is the answer to the code breaker.
