Week 8: Decimals and Subtraction

Homework:
Lets have a quick look at this weeks
homework: Recap App

Warm Up:
Say how much is needed to the next
metre
Play Ping, pong.
Teacher to say a length, e.g. 3.74m; then
children say how much is needed in metres
to make the next metre, i.e. 0.26m.

Write 10 6.47 on the board.

How would Maths Frog work out this
subtraction?
Demonstrate on an empty number line
How would you work out 9 8.63?

Katies best long jump this year was 2.85

metres, but today she has jumped a huge
3.18 metres! How much further has she
jumped? How can we work it out?
Draw out the ENL and record the steps.
Her younger brother Tims best jump before
today was 1.83m, but today he jumped 2.2m.
Work out how much further he jumped today.

Task 1:
Find the difference
in the height of
bamboo from one
day to the next.
Complete the chart.

Following on from yesterday

We need some more practise of subtracting
decimals from decimals but more
importantly, subtracting numbers with 2dp
from numbers with 1dp and vice versa.
How might we go about solving the following?
3.45 2.2
2.18 1.9
3.4 2.46
8.9 3.78

Extension
Now we will move onto subtracting from
with a greater number of decimal places.
We can continue to use the rounding up
method or just the quicker more efficient
column subtraction

Convert from m to cm, cm to mm and

vice versa
Play In the box at
http://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=int
heboxv2
, choosing converting measures. Choose m
to cm, then cm to mm, then mm to cm. Chn
write the converted measures on their w/bs.
Click each box to open it so they can check
their answers.

Write 34.567 at the top of your whiteboards.

If we add 0.1, which digit will change?
If we subtract 0.01 which digit will change?
Which digit will change if we add or subtract
0.001?
Add 0.2 and write the new number
underneath.
Now subtract 0.02.
Now add 20.
Subtract 0.003.

Write 34.567 at the top of your whiteboards.

If we add 0.1, which digit will change?
If we subtract 0.01 which digit will change?
Which digit will change if we add or subtract
0.001?
Add 0.2 and write the new number
underneath.
Now subtract 0.02.
Now add 20.
Subtract 0.003.
