Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of worksheets to select and subtract pairs of money amounts with one and two decimal places using formal decomposition methods of subtraction and a template to model how to subtract pairs of decimal numbers using a written columnar decomposition method.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to subtract pairs of money amounts with two decimal places using formal decomposition methods of subtraction.

This lesson is part of a maths scheme of work to get the children to practise using written calculation methods for decomposition to subtract decimal numbers using different real world contexts and abstract number values. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
