Maths- Decimals

 Learning Objective: I can write fractions as decimals and divide whole numbers into decimals 


At the beginning of the week, the children looked at how to decimal whole numbers into decimals. We spoke about how to represent whole numbers as tenths and hundredths, such as depicted in the work shown below. We also showed that if we are dividing 4 by 5, we could think about that as a fraction of 4/5. Also this week, the children worked on how to work out how to convert fractions into decimals and decimals into fractions. We spoke about the term equivalent and what this meant and also any known facts. 


Well done on another fantastic week of work.

South America

 This term the children will be studying South America. Here is a copy of their journey.  During the first part of the lesson, the children recapped the different lines of latitude and longitude they have learnt throughout key stage 2. Then, they compared four different types of maps about South America: relief maps, political maps, tectonic plate maps and language maps.  Finally, the children used their knowledge of longitude and latitude as well as understanding that there is 15 degrees between each line of latitude on a map. Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
