Exploring Decimal Models: Tenths

In this video, Mr. J explains how to interpret decimal models using tenths. The tutorial covers four examples, starting with simple decimals like three tenths and eight tenths, and progressing to more complex numbers like one and nine tenths, and two and four tenths. Each example is demonstrated with a visual model, showing how to convert between decimals and fractions. The video aims to help students understand the relationship between visual models, decimals, and fractions.
