Let’s understand the idea.

  1. One whole contains ten tenths or one hundred hundredths.
  2. Splitting a tenth into ten hundredths keeps its amount unchanged.
  3. The numerator counts the selected pieces; the denominator names the equal parts in one whole.

Something to notice

Ask the learner to point to the whole, a tenth and a hundredth. Can they explain why splitting keeps the amount unchanged, while joining a second source can increase it? Ask for a fresh example without demonstrating the entries. Physical, oral, child and educator observations remain pending.

Try it. Change it. Explain it.

Open the lesson to use its pictures and controls. In How it works, connect the picture to the idea. In Play & discover, change the quantities and notice what stays the same. In Your turn, answer questions and use the explanation to check your reasoning.

You can ask for help, draw on the thinking pad, or listen to the question and answer options. Progress distinguishes independent work from work completed with help.
