For example
Each strip of a chocolate bar broken into ten is one of the tenths.
In Grade 4
Children divide a strip into ten equal parts and shade tenths before meeting the decimal point.
Watch out for
Children often read 0.7 as seven. It means seven tenths, which is less than one whole.
Say it at home
Split something into ten equal parts and ask how many tenths have been taken.
