Read decimals with tenths, count forwards and backwards in tenths, order decimals with tenths.
Number Framework Stage 6
Problem: Complete 13 ÷ 2 = ? wholes + ? tenths. Predict the decimal point version
of the answer, then check on a calculator. (Answer: 6.5)
When teachers make up their own examples, they should make sure the answers are
to 1 d.p. So 13 ÷ 5 = 2.6 is suitable, but 11 ÷÷ 4 = 2.75 is not.
Examples:
Find each answer and write it in two forms, that is, the words in wholes and tenths
and the decimal point shorthand:
21 ÷ 5 22 ÷ 4 10 ÷ 4 13 ÷ 2 15 ÷ 2
13 ÷ 5 14 ÷ 4 18 ÷ 4 17 ÷ 2 25 ÷ 2
26 ÷ 5 30 ÷ 4 2÷ 4 1÷ 2 15 ÷ 2
