We are learning to:
Explain what decimals actually are and how they link to fractions and percentages.
What decimals are.....
decimals are part of a whole.
the decimal point separates (on the left) the wholes, (on the right) the parts of the wholes.
We use these deci pipes for decimals and we use them to make the decimal.
100,100ths make a whole. |
2 wholes are 2.0 |
=Whole Hundredth=
ten,tenths make a whole |
1,0000,1,0000th make a whole |
=Tenths Thousandth=
Read and identify decimals to two decimal places.
Order decimals to three places
Decimal : 6.345 ,6.79
ordering decimals: 6.79 - 6.345
This is how I did it .
On both of the decimals on the wholes they have 6. - 6. they are the same but when you come to the tenths they are different it is 6.7 - 6.3 but you already know state away that 6.79 is bigger because tenths are bigger than hundredth and thousandth and 6.345 doesn't.
