About this worksheet
Each worksheet has 6 problems reading a decimal number of meters off a meter stick marked in centimeters.
This worksheet asks for the decimal an arrow points to on a meter stick. It is the one decimal model where the number is a length rather than a count of shaded parts, which is why the standard names more than one. The stick carries both scales at once - a hundred centimeter marks with every tenth drawn taller and labelled in meters - so a mark at 0.35 has to be seen as three tenths and five hundredths together. Sheets can be customized, turned into flash cards, or assigned for online learning.
Student objectives
- Read a length in meters as a decimal.
- See a mark as tenths and hundredths at the same time.
- Connect centimeters to hundredths of a meter.
Everyday practice
- Find a mark on a real meter stick and name it in meters.
