Number > Place Value

Australian Curriculum Version 9 Says:

Recognise and extend the application of place value to tenths and hundredths and use the conventions of decimal notation to name and represent decimals.

What this means

Place value two decimal places, tenths and hundredths.

  • 2.16 can be read as “two and sixteen hundredths” rather than “two point one six” which allows children to see how place value allows you to name numbers.

Tip

  • Represent decimals using number lines.
