Decimals - Making 1 - PowerPoint

In a collection of engaging worksheets designed for Year 5 students, the concept of decimals and their addition to make 1 is thoroughly explored. The worksheets utilise a hundred square grid to visually aid students in understanding how different decimal values combine to total one whole. For instance, learners are presented with partially completed addition sentences such as "0.6 + _____ = 1" and "0.41 + _____ = 1", which they are then required to fill in with the correct decimal that when added to the given number results in 1. This exercise not only reinforces their comprehension of decimal values but also hones their addition skills.

Further deepening their understanding, the worksheets encourage students to use column addition to verify if certain decimal sums are true or false, for example, "0.481 + 0.519 = 1". Additionally, learners are tasked with identifying patterns and selecting the odd one out from a series of decimal addition sentences. This activity promotes critical thinking and pattern recognition with decimals. The interactive nature of these tasks, such as shading grids and matching decimal numbers, ensures that students remain engaged while solidifying their grasp of decimal numbers and their properties in relation to making a whole.
