Decimals: Tenths and Hundredths

A grid can be used to show tenths and hundredths.  To show 0.3 you would shade 3 out of the 10 parts.  To show 0.30 you would shade 30 out of the 100 parts.  One part of the hundredths grid can be compared to a penny, since one part of the grid is equal to 0.01 and a penny is equal to one hundredth of a dollar.
