Determining Fraction Value with Blocks
One base ten block is named as the whole, and students write the value of the set of blocks beside it as a fraction.
Student Objectives
- Work out what each base ten block is worth once one of them is named the whole
- Write the value of a set of blocks as a fraction
- Use a denominator of tenths, hundredths or thousandths depending on the smallest block shown
- See how the same block changes value when a different block is the whole
