Maths Unit: Decimals to Thousandths
This comprehensive unit plan has been designed to support students when learning about decimals to thousandths. The unit plan includes a detailed, explicit and thorough presentation that explains decimals from tenths to thousandths, an abundance of worksheets, a student reference card, assessment task, posters and games to support and consolidate student learning around decimals.
Learning goals
- 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.
- 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.
