Lesson Two – Decimal Places
This maths teaching pack for Key Stage Two gets the children to practise using the standard written method of decomposition to model how to subtract pairs of numbers with different sets of decimal places.
The class can select and record measurements in the classroom to two decimal places to use when completing their subtraction sums working with the decomposition method.
Download this teaching pack including a lesson plan, classroom activities and an interactive presentation to practise using the standard written method of decomposition to model how to subtract pairs of numbers with different sets of decimal places
Activities in this teaching pack include a differentiated set of templates to select and subtract pairs of measurements with different numbers of decimal places using the standard written method of decomposition to complete the steps in each calculation.
The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use the written decomposition method to practise subtracting pairs of numbers with different numbers of decimal places.
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.
