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.
