Introduction to Special Decimals
Initially, students explore special decimals, such as repeating or terminating decimals. They learn how to identify and convert these decimals into fractions. By Year 5, students delve deeper into the properties of rational and irrational numbers, exploring how special decimals fit into the broader context of number theory.
Operations with Decimals
Initially, students learn basic operations with decimals, including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They use these operations in practical contexts such as money and measurements. By Year 5, students perform complex operations with decimals, applying precision in scientific calculations and financial computations.
Practical Uses of Decimals
Students use decimals in everyday situations involving money, measurements, and precision in calculations. They progress to applying decimals in more technically demanding contexts such as engineering, scientific data analysis, and statistical computations. By Year 5, they handle complex calculations involving decimals in finance, technology, and scientific experiments, where precision is crucial.
