L.O. To Investigate Multiplying Decimals- By Binyameen & Mohammed
Mr. Mitchell set us an investigation in Numeracy this morning. At the end of the lesson we had 10 minutes to blog about our findings, In this blog post, we are going to show you rules of working out decimal numbers/places.

Our Maths Challenge -By Binyameen and Mohammed
Today this morning in maths, Mr. Mitchell set us a challenge to work out how to add or subtract decimals that have different amounts of decimal places. We are going to give you two examples of how me and Mohammed would work it out. 1st Example 5.372 + 2.2 Firstly we’ll look at the amount [...]
Mr. Mitchell’s Maths Challenge!! By Carys and Saleha
Mr. Mitchell has set us a maths challenge on how to add and subtract decimals that have different amount of decimal places. Here is an example: 4.72+3.256= In this example you first need to find the number which has the most digits. Count how many digits there are in that number. Then make the shorter [...]
Maths challenge by Ross & Jake
We have been given a challenge by Mr.Mitchell and the challenge is how do you add or subtract decimals that have different amount of decimal places. Example 0.2446 + 0.048 = 0.2926 What i did was add another 0 to make it equal so that’s a way to can make it easier
Our challenge! By Liam and Raja
Mr.Mitchell had set us a task today, it was to write a blog post about how to add and subtract decimals that have different amounts of decimal places. We will try to explain this in it’s simplest form. Examples: 23.4 + 11.28 = You would have to change 23.4 into 23.40 so it has 4 digits [...]

Ordering Decimals- By Binyameen
In school this morning,in maths, we have been learning about ordering decimals. We have been answering some questions about this and deciding which stratagies we would use to order the decimals. Mr. Mitchell went through a question and we had to think about what would be the best way to order decimals. We would first [...]
Decimals-by Liam.
Today we learn’t how to order decimals, and add decimals. Here is a stratergy to help you order and add them easier. Put a place holder onto the end of the number to make it the same amount of digits as the biggest number. Can you work these numbers out from smallest to largest?: 9.009, [...]
Decimals. (By Fern)
In year 6 this morning, we have been learning about ordering decimals. We were recapping them so we would be better at then in our SATs and any other subjects in life. We have ordered some this morning. Do you think you can order these decimals? 4.4 , 0.4 , 0.400 , 0.4oo4 , 0.444, [...]
Ordering Decimals (By Saleha)
Today, we have been learning about how to order decimals. A strategy that we have used is to put the same amount of digits in a number and then order them. Here is one question for you: Order the numbers below, starting with the smallest: 9.9 0.909 9.009 9.909 0.99 9.09 9.099 0.09
Ordering decimals- By Mohammed
Today in school, we have been learning about ordering decimals and what strategies we would use. This is the most popular one, firstly, we would make all the numbers have the same amount of digits in them by adding a zero. We would then find the biggest number and put it last. Then, we would [...]
Working out decimals ( By Carys and Murron)
In maths today, we have been learning about decimals. To work out these questions, we would make all the numbers have the same amount of digits. Here are some decimals for you to order from largest to smallest. 0.707, 7.077, 7.707, 0.07, 0.77, 7.007, 0.70, 0.7
