Decimal Target Board - Comparing

The Y5 Decimals Target Board 2 is an engaging educational resource designed to enhance the mathematical skills of Year 5 students, particularly focusing on decimals. The objective of the board is to help students read, write, order, and compare numbers with up to three decimal places. This tool is versatile and can be used to kick-start or wrap up a lesson, making it perfect for quick revision sessions and retrieval practice. The target boards are suitable for both whole class engagement and small group activities, allowing teachers to display the board visibly and provide students with whiteboards and pens for interactive learning.

The practical application of the target boards involves a series of exercises where students are tasked with manipulating the numbers displayed on the board. For instance, a teacher might challenge the students to arrange the numbers in the second column in ascending order. This interactive approach not only makes learning fun but also allows for differentiated instruction, as teachers can tailor the level of difficulty by giving varied instructions to different groups. With a range of numbers presented on the board, students can practice a multitude of mathematical operations, sharpening their skills in dealing with decimals and understanding numerical relationships.
