Common misconception
Children may struggle to make the connection between multiplying by 0.01 and dividing by 100
When we multiply by 0.01, it is the same as multiplying by one-hundredth. When we multiply by a unit fraction, we can divide by the denominator - in this case, 100
Real-life exposure to the relationship between one-hundredth and its whole - showing the children that 100 equal parts are needed to make the whole. Children should be secure with multiplying and dividing by 100 to avoid cognitive overload.
