Maths: Year 3 & 4 National Curriculum, topic 5.4.3
Hundredths
We can find a hundredth of a number by splitting it into 100 equal parts.
One hundredth
- Imagine splitting up a number into 100 equal parts.
- One of these parts is equal to a "hundredth" of the number.
- We can write a tenth as 1/100.
Hundredth of a one digit number
- A ‘hundredth’ is found when we divide a number by 100.
- For example, 2 ÷100 = 0.02.
- 0.02 is two hundredths.
- So 1/100 of 20 is equal to 0.02.
Tenth of a tenth
- A ‘hundredth’ is found when we find a tenth of a tenth.
- For example, a tenth of 3 is 0.3.
- 0.3 ÷ 10 = 0.03
- 0.03 is three hundredths.
Counting up in hundredths
- We can count up in hundredths:
- 0 , 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1
- We can also count down in tenths:
- 0.1, 0.09, 0.08, 0.07, 0.06, 0.05, 0.04, 0.03, 0.02, 0.01, 0
