a) What fraction is represented by the shaded squares?
b) What would this fraction be as a decimal?
a) What fraction is represented by the shaded squares?
b) What would this fraction be as a decimal? Ones (O) Tenths (t) Hundredths (h)
0 0 7If there were any Ones, all the squares would be shaded. If there were any tenths, ten squares would be shaded.

Amir has coloured part of the hundred square.
What fraction is represented by the coloured squares?
Write this fraction in a different way.
Write this fraction as a decimal.
Amir has coloured part of the hundred square.
What fraction is represented by the coloured squares?
ଵ- seventy of the one hundred parts are
shaded
Write this fraction in a different way. This could also be
ଵbecause there are
seven columns of tens shaded, if you view the shape as having ten parts.
Write this fraction as a decimal. 0.7
Huan says he has coloured 0.5 of the hundred square.
Explain the mistake that he has made.
Huan says he has coloured 0.5 of the hundred square.
Explain the mistake that he has made. Huan has coloured in 5 squares and each one is worth ଵ
ଵso he has shaded ହ
ଵ. This
would be 0.05 because there are no tenths and five hundredths.
If 0.5 was shaded, then 50 of the squares would be shaded. This would be half of the squares, because 0.5 is half of a whole.
