Fascinating Fact:

Decimals help with measurements, so a height of 1.75 metres is easier to read than 175 centimetres.

In KS2 Maths, decimals are developed further to handle more complex calculations. Pupils practise converting between fractions and decimals, applying decimals to money, length, and weight problems.

Key Terms

Tenths: The first place value after the decimal point, showing one part out of ten.
Hundredths: The second place after the decimal point, equal to one part out of a hundred.
Conversion: Changing a number between forms, like turning 0.25 into 1/4.
