Max Maths, Year 6, Work Book, Review of place value in 1- and 2- place decimal numbers

The Max Maths Year 6 Workbook provides a comprehensive review of place value in decimal numbers, focusing on 1- and 2-decimal places. The first practice exercise involves a large square divided into 100 equal smaller squares, which serves as a visual aid for understanding fractions and decimals. Students are tasked with expressing the number of black-coloured, grey-coloured, dark green-coloured, and light green-coloured small squares as fractions of the whole square and then converting those fractions into decimal form. This exercise helps to reinforce the concept that each small square represents one-hundredth of the whole and aids in the visualisation of decimal equivalents of simple fractions.

The second part of the practice provides students with a series of exercises where they must fill in missing values in a place value chart that includes hundredths, tenths, ones, and tens. The chart helps students to see the relationship between different place values and to understand how to convert between them. For example, they learn to recognise that 4 in the hundredths place is equivalent to 0.04, and 7 in the tenths place is 0.7. Completing the exercises, students gain fluency in writing numbers in decimal form and understanding the value of digits in different decimal places, from the hundredths up to tens.
