Year 6 - Number and Algebra
Standard 6.OA.1.2 - Practice dividing equations with decimals and whole numbers.
Included Skills: Decimals, Mixed Equations
Fractions and decimals • Compare fractions with related denominators and locate and represent them on a number line - demonstrating equivalence between fractions using drawings and models • Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions with the same or related denominators - understanding the processes for adding and subtracting fractions with related denominators and fractions as an operator, in preparation for calculating with all fractions - solving realistic additive (addition and subtraction) problems involving fractions to develop understanding of equivalent fractions and the use of fractions as operators - modelling and solving additive problems involving fractions by using methods such as jumps on a number line, or by making diagrams of fractions as parts of shapes • Find a simple fraction of a quantity where the result is a whole number, with and without digital technologies - recognising that finding one third of a quantity is the same as dividing by 3 • Add and subtract decimals, with and without digital technologies, and use estimation and rounding to check the reasonableness of answers - extending whole-number strategies to explore and develop meaningful written strategies for addition and subtraction of decimal numbers to thousandths - exploring and practising efficient methods for solving problems requiring operations on decimals, to gain fluency with calculating with decimals and with recognising appropriate operations • Multiply decimals by whole numbers and perform divisions by non-zero whole numbers where the results are terminating decimals, with and without digital technologies - interpreting the results of calculations to provide an answer appropriate to the context • Multiply and divide decimals by powers of 10 - multiplying and dividing decimals by multiples of powers of 10 • Make connections between equivalent fractions, decimals and percentages - connecting fractions, decimals and percentages as different representations of the same number, moving fluently between representations and choosing the appropriate one for the problem being solved
