Decimals: Patterns & Equations (Year 4)

Worksheet
Patterns, Equations & Real‑Life Contexts**

This Year 4 worksheet helps pupils build confidence with decimals by exploring a real‑life growth pattern. Using a simple flower‑growth scenario, children identify decimal increases, spot patterns over time, and use these to predict future values. Pupils then apply their understanding to write equations in the form H = (rate × days) + start, supporting early algebraic thinking in a gentle, accessible way.

• Identifying decimal patterns in real‑life data
• Calculating increases and differences using tenths
• Predicting future values from a number pattern
• Writing simple equations using a clear model

• A real‑world flower‑growth table
• Pattern‑spotting questions
• Guided equation writing
• A second equation challenge for mastery
• Full answer key for easy marking

• KS2 Maths: Number – Decimals
• Recognising and writing decimal equivalents
• Identifying, representing and estimating numbers
• Using number patterns to solve problems

This worksheet is ideal for independent practice, homework, guided maths, or intervention groups needing extra support with decimal reasoning.
