In Maths this week, the children have continued with our current unit on decimals.

We explored the tenths column in a place value chart, extending our previous learning to include numbers greater than 1. The children the extended their understanding of tenths by exploring them on a number line which help them to see the relationship between tenths and whole numbers.

They were able to find missing decimal numbers in a sequence, deepening their understanding of the value of 1 tenth. The sequences initially went up and down in steps of 1 tenth and then in varying intervals, including crossing the whole. Seeing this modelled on a number line helped children with their understanding of tenths as a decimal.
