This teaching slides resource introduces the concept of decimals by exploring how a whole can be divided into 10 equal parts and how decimal notation is used to label each part. Slides build sequentially from the idea of what lies between 0 and 1, through to one tenth, decimal notation on a number line, and reading decimals represented with place value materials (longs).
What's included:
Teaching slides covering: introducing decimals, what lies between 0 and 1, one tenth, and decimal notation
