This week in maths, Year 5 have been applying their knowledge of decimal fractions to explore the world of money. The children have been practising writing decimal notations of pounds and pence, gaining a deeper understanding of how decimals represent parts of a whole in real-life situations.
Through engaging activities, the pupils have worked on converting amounts between pounds and pence, reinforcing their understanding of place value and decimal points. They’ve also had the chance to solve problems involving prices, totals, and change, sharpening their skills in handling money and becoming more confident with practical maths.
