Learning goals

  • We are learning to recognise and extend place value to tenths and hundredths use decimal notation to name and represent decimals.
  • We are learning to make connections between fractions and decimals to tenths and hundredths.
  • We are learning to compare and order numbers with more than two decimal places and represent decimal numbers including numbers greater than 1, e.g. 1.68cm, on number lines.
  • We are learning to recognise and represent the place value system extending to thousandths, e.g. one-thousandth and 0.001
  • We are learning to compare, order and represent decimals on number lines.
