Max Maths, Year 6, Learn together, Review of place value in 1- and 2- place decimal numbers (4)

In "Max Maths" for Year 6, students delve into a review of place value with a focus on decimal numbers to the first and second place. The lesson aims to demonstrate how fractions can be represented as decimal numbers. For instance, the fraction 7/13 is expressed as the decimal number seven point one three, where '7' is in the ones place, '1' in the tenths place, and '3' in the hundredths place. Similarly, the fraction 2/58 is represented by the decimal two point five eight, with '2' occupying the ones place, '5' in the tenths, and '8' in the hundredths. This visual and numerical breakdown helps students understand the conversion from fractions to decimals and the significance of each digit's position.

The lesson continues with other examples like 6/10, which simplifies to zero point six, indicating '0' in the ones place and '6' in the tenths. Another example given is 1/11, which becomes one point one one, with '1' in the ones place, followed by '1' in the tenths and '1' in the hundredths. The decimal five point two corresponds to the fraction 5/2, showing '5' in the ones place and '2' in the tenths. Moreover, the fraction 15/1 is written as fifteen point one, where '15' is in the ones place and '1' in the tenths. The last example provided is 3/99, which translates to three point nine nine, with '3' in the ones, '9' in the tenths, and another '9' in the hundredths place. To reinforce these concepts, students are directed to workbook pages 154 to 155 for further practice and understanding.
