What skills we want children to develop
Use knowledge to solve reasoning and problem solving questions such as:
What do you notice?
One tenth of £41
One hundredth of £41
One thousandth of £41
Continue the pattern
What do you notice?
0.085 + 0.015 = 0.1
0.075 + 0.025 = 0.1
0.065 + 0.035 = 0.1
Continue the pattern for the next five number sentences.
Ron has 8 counters. He makes numbers using the place value chart. At least 3 columns have counters in. What is the largest and the smallest number he can make with 8 counters?
Mathematical Talk
- How can we partition decimal numbers in different ways?
- How would you convert a fraction to a decimal? What does the decimal point mean?
- In the number 1.34 what does the 1 represent, what does the 3 represent, what does the 4 represent? Can we represent this number in a different way, and another, and another?
- Where would 2.015 be positioned on the number line? How many thousandths do I have? How do I record this as a mixed number?
- Complete the sentence stems to describe what percentage is shaded.
It could be…
It must be…
