Decimal Numbers (Year 4)

In KS2 Maths, kids will explore exciting decimal numbers! In Year Four, they'll dive into tenths, learning where numbers belong in decimal land. Adding and subtracting with decimals will become a breeze, and they'll even get the hang of rounding these special numbers up or down.

Decimal numbers aren't whole, like 3 or 7. They're a bit fancier, with dots called decimal points. Just like adding 11 + 12, adding 1.1 + 1.2 is cool! Decimals can also be buddies with their closest whole numbers, like 4.7 hanging out with 5. But 4.4 prefers to chill with 4. We call this rounding up or down.
