1. Decimals and Fractions
Year 5 Autumn
Decimals and Fractions
Unit 1: Multiply/divide by 10 and 100 to get decimals (2 decimal places), Place value additions
Objectives
Day 1: Understand place value in numbers with 2 decimal places.
Day 2: Divide by 10 and 100 to give answers with 2 decimal places; Multiply numbers with 2 decimal places by 10 and by 100.
Before teaching, be aware that:
On Day 1 children will need mini-whiteboards and pens.
On Day 2 children will need mini-whiteboards and pens, large digit cards and a flipchart.

How do we write 6 millimetres as centimetres? 6mm is 6/10 of a cm, we can write it as 0.6cm. Children work in pairs to measure length of finger nails on one hand to the nearest mm and write each in cm. They rewrite the measurements in order of length.

Play ‘ping pong’. You call out a number with one decimal place, e.g. ‘3.6’. Children answer with the complement to the next whole number: ‘0.4’. You reply with the whole number: ‘4’. Then choose another number. Occasionally say ‘ping’ to which the children reply ‘pong’.

Two zeros ‘disappeared’!
This number is between 200 and 300.
If we divide it by 100 we will expect the answer to be between 2 and 3.
