Beads and Decimals

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a math activity focused on counting and understanding the concept of ones and tenths. It presents several groups of circles in two columns labeled “Ones” and “Tenths” for students to count. After counting the filled circles in each column, students are expected to write the combined total as a decimal number in the provided spaces. The first example is completed as a guide, demonstrating how to write the number 3.2 when there are three filled circles under “Ones” and two under “Tenths.”

The worksheet is designed to reinforce the foundational math concept of place value, specifically focusing on the relationship between ones and tenths in decimal numbers. It aims to help students visualize and understand how to count and combine whole numbers with fractional parts to create decimals. By completing this exercise, students practice converting part-whole relationships into decimal notation, which is an essential skill for working with decimals. The worksheet also seeks to enhance students’ confidence in working with basic decimal values through repetitive practice and visual representation.
