In order to change 0.023 to 0.23, we multiply by 10.

Decimal Numbers (Year 6)

In KS2 Maths, kids learn about decimal numbers. In Year Six, you'll know decimal place value to three spots - tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. Plus, you'll be a pro at adding, subtracting, and rounding decimals. Think metres/cm or £/pence!

Decimals have a point - left side has whole numbers, right side has tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. Decimals are like a cool way to talk about numbers smaller than one. Instead of 1/8, say 0.125: 1 tenth, 2 hundredths, 5 thousandths. Decimals make maths with fractions easier - like metres and kilos, all using tenths, hundredths, and thousandths!
