Decimals and Percentages - Decimals up to 2 Decimal Places - Worksheet

A comprehensive worksheet on decimals up to two decimal places (2 d.p.) offers students a practical way to enhance their understanding of decimal numbers and place value. The worksheet includes a variety of tasks that encourage children to use place value counters and a grid to construct numbers with up to two decimal places. Students learn to read, write, and partition decimal numbers, recognising the value of each digit. Pictorial representations support their learning, making abstract concepts more concrete.

The exercises progress to include reasoning and problem-solving tasks that challenge students to apply their knowledge of decimals in different contexts. For instance, they might represent numbers on a place value chart, complete sentences that describe the value of each digit, or find missing numbers by partitioning decimals. Additionally, there are activities that ask students to prove or disprove statements about partitioning decimals, such as finding multiple ways to partition the number 0.59, thus demonstrating that there's more than one way to break down a decimal number. These tasks are designed to build fluency and precision in handling decimals, as well as to deepen students' mathematical reasoning skills.
