EASYTEACHING.NET
Overview:
This activity helps students add together decimal parts using shaded visual models. Designed for studens in year 5 and year 6.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognise and partition decimals into tenths and hundredths.
- Match visual representations to their decimal partitions.
- Develop an understanding of decimal addition and place value.
How the Activity Works:
Students cut and paste shaded visual representations of decimal numbers and match them to the correct partitioning expressions. For example, a model showing 83 hundredths is matched to the partitioning "8 tenths + 3 hundredths." This hands-on activity supports students in visualising and understanding decimal addition and the composition of decimal numbers.
