Teachers, save “Lesson 3: Ordering Tenths (i)” to assign it to your class.

Order tenths your knowledge that tenth is a part of a whole split into 10 equal parts. Tenths have been represented as decimals, fractions and using dienes. Place the decimals on the number line then write the fractions above. Think about: What is a tenth? How many different ways can we write a tenth? When do we use tenths in real life? Which representation do you think is clearest? Why? How else could you represent the decimal/fraction?
