Decimals - Divide 1-Digit by 10 - Starter

For Year 4 students in their Spring Term Week 10, the focus is on understanding and applying decimal knowledge. The 'Fluent in Four' revision segment kicks off with an activity that requires students to correctly place decimal numbers such as 0.9, 1.8, and 0.4 on a number line, enhancing their grasp of decimal values and their positions relative to whole numbers. Another task presents a series of numbers and phrases, prompting students to use comparative symbols like <, =, or > to accurately compare values, such as 619 against six hundred and ninety-one, five hundred and forty-seven, and five hundred and seventy-four, developing their number sense and comparison skills.

Mathematical problem-solving is further encouraged through real-world scenarios, such as combining a 16-metre rope with a 9-metre rope and then subtracting 3 metres, asking students to calculate the new total length. Additionally, arithmetic exercises are included where students must perform addition with large numbers, including a sum like 3,754 + 745, and another where they add together quantities represented in tens and ones, such as 604 tens and 908 ones with 7 ones, 9 tens, and 4 hundreds. These exercises are designed to reinforce their understanding of place value and addition, setting a solid foundation for their mathematical development.
