Are you looking for a fun and creative way to teach decimals? I used this resource with my Year 5 / 6 class to visualise decimal numbers and understand the concept of tenths, hundredths and thousandths. Children colour in a tenths (can be made into a bookmark), hundreds or thousandths grid (collaborative art opportunity - ten 100 square grids) and then fill in the accompanying table to record the fraction, decimal and percentage of each colour. There are also some accompanying adding fractions or adding decimals worksheets that children can use - generating their own questions based on the colours that they used in their art. Once complete, they can be put up on the wall to make a bright, eye-catching display.
Included in this resource:
Page 1 - tenths bookmarks
Page 2 - tenths recording table
Page 3 - hundredths grid and recording table
Page 4 - thousandths (x2 hundred grids which you print out x5 times and slice)
Page 5 - thousandths recording table
Page 6 - adding decimals
Page 7 - adding fractions
Page 8 - credits
Aligned to the National Curriculum:
read and write decimal numbers as fractions [for example, 0.71 = 71/100 ]
solve problems involving number up to 3 decimal places
recognise the per cent symbol (%) and understand that per cent relates to ‘number of parts per 100’, and write percentages as a fraction with denominator 100, and as a decimal fraction
recognise and use thousandths and relate them to tenths, hundredths and decimal equivalents
