Decimals

Our learning intention was find place value in decimals . In our maths we have been learning how to translate decimal numbers in to words so we can get a clear idea of decimal place value. So for example say it was 67.8 I would say it is sixty seven and 8 tenths. We also had a mixture of doing it the other way round for an example sixty two and nine tenths so now we would write it into number form so this would be 62.9. I predict that I got most of it correct but some maybe incorrect because I wasn't quite sure of the equation.  I thought this was really hard because one of my weak strengths in maths is decimals but I think I have improved since the start of the year. 

Decimal Pirate Game

Today we learns our Decimal place value. I was a bit rusty on it because I haven't done this in a very long time since I was year 5. To improve on this we played a game called Decimal Pirate. For an example it asked us 5 in the thousandths place we had to find what pirate had the correct answer. I thought this game was a bit hard but now it's easy. If you would like to give yourself a challenge be sure to play the game .(link to game)
