Unit G – Decimal Subtractions
This maths scheme of work for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise using written calculation methods for decomposition to subtract decimal numbers using real world contexts and abstract number values. The class can solve puzzles to calculate money amounts and length measurements when subtracting decimals.
Practise using written calculation methods for decomposition to subtract decimal numbers using different real world contexts and abstract number values
Lesson One : Price Comparisons
Practise subtracting different pairs of money amounts with two decimal places using formal written methods of subtraction for decomposition
Lesson Two : Decimal Places
Practise using the standard written method of decomposition to model how to subtract pairs of numbers with different sets of decimal places
Lesson Three : Decimal Measurements
Explain and model how to use the standard written method of decomposition to subtract pairs of measurements using whole and decimal numbers
Lesson Four : Household Spending
Select different items that can be bought for a household and calculate the amount of the remaining budget using subtraction calculations
Lesson Five : Decimal Squares
Practise using addition and subtraction number calculation skills to solve puzzles involving decimal numbers to one, two and three places
