Decimal calculations Learning objective We are learning to: • use a range of mental strategies to solve decimal calculations.
What pupils already know • Pupils are secure with identifying tenths, using multiplication facts for up to 12 × 12. • Pupils have a good range of mental calculation strategies for adding and subtracting whole numbers.
Key vocabulary strategy, method, partition, count on, count back
Teaching notes • Model how to use a range of strategies to solve mental calculations involving decimals. Use near doubles Example: What is 4.2 + 4.3? 4.2 + 4.2 = 8.4 So 4.2 + 4.3 = 8.5
Count on or back in different jumps Example: What is 7.4 − 5.6? 1.4
0.4
5.6
6
7 7.4 – 5.6 = 1.8
Partition, or break numbers up Example: What is 3.8 × 6? 3 × 6 = 18 0.8 × 6 = 4.8 So 3.8 × 6 = 18 + 4.8 = 22.8
Use the facts you know Example: What is 0.8 × 8? 8 × 8 = 64 So 0.8 × 8 = 6.4
For pupils – Steps to success: 1. Read the calculation. 2. Choose one of the strategies to help solve the calculation.

Decimal calculations Use and apply Task A: Target 3.6 Use the signs +, – and × to make the target 3.6 Example: 1.3 + 2.3 = 3.6 How many possible ways can you find? Task B: Explain how you know Suraj says:
The difference between 6.7 and 8.4 is the same as 3.3 – 1.6 Is he correct? Yes or No? Explain how you know. Task C: The greatest product! A game for 2 players You will need: Spinner E*, a dice, a pencil, a paper clip • Player 1 spins Spinner E twice to generate a decimal number. For example, if the player spins the numbers 4 and 3 they can make the decimal number 4.3 • Player 1 rolls the dice and multiplies the decimal number by the number rolled. • For example, if you roll 5 then you have to do the following calculation: Spinner E 4.3 × 5 = 4 × 5 = 20 0.3 × 5 = 1.5 So 4.3 × 5 = 21.5 • Player 2 now has a turn. • The player who has the greatest product scores 5 points. • The first player to score 25 points wins.

Area and perimeter Learning objectives We are learning to: • measure and calculate the perimeter of composite rectilinear shapes in centimetres and metres • compare the areas of rectangles (including squares), and include using standard units: square centimetres (cm2) and square metres (m2) • estimate the area of irregular shapes.
What pupils already know • Pupils are secure in finding the area of rectangles and squares by counting squares. • They can measure and calculate the perimeter of a rectangle and square using centimetres and metres.
Key vocabulary rectilinear shape, composite rectilinear shape, area, perimeter
Teaching notes • Remind pupils of the definitions of the terms area and perimeter and distinguish between the two. • The units for perimeter can be cm or m and the units for area are cm2 or m2. Example: What is the area and perimeter of this shape? 4 cm • Establish that in order to find the area and perimeter we first need to split this composite shape into two rectangles. • Area of composite = shape = = =
9 cm
15 cm 3 cm
area of rectangle A + area of rectangle B. 4 cm × 9 cm + 3 cm × 15 cm 2 + 45 cm2 36 cm 2 81 cm
• Perimeter of composite shape: explain that if we found the perimeter of rectangle A and then the perimeter of rectangle B, this would include lengths that are not included in the composite shape. Model how to use the information given to find the length of each side: Perimeter = 15 cm + 3 cm + 19 cm + 9 cm + 4 cm + 6 cm = 56 cm
A B
4 cm 9 cm
6 cm = (9 cm – 3 cm) 15 cm 3 cm 19 cm = (15 cm + 4 cm)
For pupils – Steps to success: 1. Area: length × width. Units = cm2. Perimeter: 2 × (length + width). Units = cm. 2. If you are finding the perimeter of a composite shape, be careful to not add on the sides of the rectilinear that are not included!

Area and perimeter Use and apply Task A: Crazy paving patio Mr Jones is having a new crazy paving patio built. He would like to have a range of designs to present to his builder. Each patio design should have: a) a rectilinear shape. b) a perimeter of 36 m. How many different designs can you construct? Task B: Explain how you know Karmal says: The perimeter of a rectangle can be written as: 2(a + b) a+b+a+b 2a + 2b Is he correct? Yes or No? Explain how you know. Task C: Composite perimeter
A game for 2 players You will need: a dice, a ruler, some paper, a pencil • Player 1 rolls the dice twice. Draw a rectangle with a ruler using the numbers rolled. For example: if you roll a 3 and 4 you can draw rectangle A: 3 cm
A
• Player 1 repeats, but this time draws the new rectangle next to rectangle A so that one of the sides joins. For example: if you roll a 6 and 2 you can draw rectangle B:
2 cm
3 cm
A
B 6 cm
4 cm • Player 1 now finds the perimeter of this composite shape. For example: 2 cm + 6 cm + 2 cm + 4 cm + 3 cm + 4 cm + 3 cm = 24 cm • Now, it’s Player 2’s turn. • The player with the greatest perimeter scores 2 points. • The first player to score 6 points wins
