What you’ll learn

  1. One Hundred Little PiecesUnderstand that a hundredth is one of 100 equal parts, written 1/100 or 0.01, and that ten hundredths make one tenth.A hundredth is one of 100 equal parts of a whole, written as the fraction 1/100 or the decimal 0.01. A tenth is bigger — it takes ten hundredths to make one tenth. You already use hundredths with money, since one penny is a hundredth of a pound.
  2. Counting Up in HundredthsCount in hundredths, connect them to tenths and simple fractions, and write hundredths as decimals.You count in hundredths one small step at a time: 1/100, 2/100, 3/100. Ten hundredths make one tenth and fifty hundredths make one half. Every hundredth can also be written as a decimal, so 1/100 is 0.01 and 25/100 is 0.25.
