👋🏼 Good morning and welcome to a brand new week!  What did you all get up to over the weekend?  I had a rather exciting one; on Saturday my nephew was born!  He lives in the Highlands though so I’m not sure when I’ll get to see him but my brother is sending me lots of photos! 👶🏻

👏🏼 A very well done goes to Friday’s Sumdog winners – ZM, DM, YS and RP!

Main Task: Decimal Numbers

08.06.20         Decimal Numbers

I can count on in tenths.

Today we are going to be building on our learning of tenths by looking at larger numbers that have both whole numbers (units) and part of a number (tenths).

Activity 1:

Each complete tower has 10 cubes.  Write in fraction form and in decimal form how many towers each child has made.

For example, if the child has made 2 complete towers of 10 cubes and 1 incomplete tower of 4 cubes, that could be written as 2 4/10 or 2.4.

Activity 2:

Before starting this activity, I recommend that you watch the following clip to remind you how to count in tenths on a number line.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgrTBxKbrgk Note: the narrator in this video says ones instead of units because it is American, so just note that they mean units!

Write the letters a-g in your jotters.  Write in fraction form and in decimal form the position shown by each arrow.

Activity 3:

Write the numbers in decimal form.

 

Traffic light and comment to say how you found counting in units and tenths today. 🚦

 

Extension:

• Practise converting fractions to decimals on the daily 10: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

(Level 3 – Fractions.  Decimal equivalents of  ?/10)

• Or play Level 1 of fruit splat: http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/fractions/FractionsToDecimals.htm (needs Flash)
• Remember to spend some time on Sumdog today to be in with a chance of winning 200 coins from me! 💰
