Understanding Tenths (Decimal Numbers)

Last week on friday we had our last workshop on understanding tenths  ( Decimal numbers) We worked on this workshop on thursday two and got problem  work.

I have really enjoyed the workshop because I have always wanted to learn about decimals and before that workshop  even happened I didn’t  know what decimal was and now I do.

Heres an example to show that I know. So 16/10  you would take the 10 away and then you are left with 16 so you put a dot in the middle which is could a point  and then it is 1.6 you just break it up but if it was 3/10 it has to be 0.3   because you take the 1 of the 10 and you are left with 0 and 3 so  put a dot in the middle and then the answer will be 0.3 as I showed before. when it’s a tenth you have to put a 0 infront of the number but when it’s a 2 digit number you take the whole tenth away and then you are left with your two digit number say 18 you go like this put the dot in the middle then the answer will be 1.8 so it’s still 18 but you just broke number up.
