Each lesson includes an easy-to-follow plan, an informative and engaging slide show for the teaching input, and differentiated worksheets.
#Lesson1ReadingandWriting
Kick-start this scheme of work with a look at large numbers with up to seven digits! The slides guide your class through reading and writing numbers in both numerals and words, identifying the value of each digit as they do so. They will start to order and compare large numbers too. Their independent learning activity has some fun differentiated crosswords to reinforce their learning, as well as a matching and ordering activity.
What's included:
- Lesson plan
- Slides
- Activity ideas
- Crossword puzzles
- Number cards
- Blank number cards
#Lesson2DecimalPlaces
This lesson teaches your class to identify the value of each digit in numbers with up to three decimal places. They will read decimals in words and numerals, and use their place value knowledge to start comparing numbers with up to three decimal places. The main activity has a fun board game to further challenge their decimal place value understanding, as well as fun game that challenges children to compete to create the highest number they can from digits they generate themselves.
What's included:
- Lesson plan
- Slides
- Activity ideas
- Game board sheet
- Question cards
- Spinner
- Score cards
- Digit cards
- Game cards
#Lesson3OrderingDecimals
Children will consolidate their decimal place value understanding in this lesson as they start to order and compare sets of numbers with up to three decimal places. The slides go through plenty of chances to practise this together to ensure their understanding, before providing fun games and activities in their independent learning to consolidate their learning.
What's included:
- Lesson plan
- Slides
- Activity ideas
- Game board

#Lesson4RoundingDecimals
This lesson teaches your class to round numbers with up to three decimal places to the nearest tenth or nearest whole number. The slides go through some examples of this before challenging children to have a go at rounding a variety of numbers independently. The alternative activity has a fun game to have a go at too!
What's included:
- Lesson plan
- Slides
- Activity ideas
- Differentiated worksheets
- Game cards

#Lesson5FindingAverages
The final lesson in this series puts rounding decimals into real-life contexts in this lesson as they apply a variety of maths skills to find averages, rounding the answer to the nearest tenth or whole number when needed. The slides go through simple examples of how to do this, using calculators to support their calculations, before challenging children to gather and interpret their own data in the same way during their independent learning. There are also sets of data ready to be analysed in the alternative activity.
