Decimals in maths

We have looked at how decimal numbers can be represented, how to multiply and divide them and, most recently, how to convert between fractions and decimals. As we are confident at turning fractions written as tenths or hundredths into decimals, in our last lesson, we looked at how we can change other fractions into an equivalent fraction with a ten or 100 as the denominator. It was then easy to turn these into decimals. This can be seen in our example from the class working wall, in the image above.
