Fractions, decimals and percentages! 

In maths this half term we will begin re – capping equivalent fractions both in pictorial and numerical form. We will then be using our knowledge of equivalent fractions to order and compare fractions based on their denominators.

Numbers to 10 million! 

Well done to Year 6 who have worked very hard this last week to order and compare numbers up to 10 million. You have applied your knowledge from Year 5 and can now compare these numbers using your place value grids and knowledge of each digit. 

Next, we are going to be rounding numbers to 10 million!

Check back soon to see some of our stunning maths work!
