Decimals teacher instructions

This booklet is an educational resource tailored for Year 4 students to help them achieve specific learning objectives related to Decimals. Each activity within the booklet is aligned with these objectives, which are indicated at the top of each page for clarity. Furthermore, a detailed list of necessary equipment and resources is provided for each activity. To accommodate different classroom dynamics and learning styles, the activities are marked with symbols to suggest whether they are most appropriate for the whole class, small groups, or pairs.

Teachers are encouraged to integrate these activities into their lessons in a flexible manner, depending on the needs of their students. The activities can be employed at various points in a lesson: at the start to review or assess prior knowledge, during the main body of the lesson to reinforce new concepts, or at the end to evaluate students' understanding and progress. While these activities are intended to complement the existing curriculum and teaching materials, they are particularly beneficial for children in intervention groups who may require additional practice. The KS2Gems website also offers other related resources, such as Decimal Resources, Place Value sliders, and Hundred Squares, to further support and enhance the teaching of decimals.
