• TLF-IDL869

Test your understanding of decimal place value with numbers that include hundredths. Receive a starting number, such as 46.87, and work towards turning it into a target number, such as 85.32. Spin a random digit, choose its decimal place value and decide whether to add or subtract the random digit from your starting number. ...

• TLF-IDL1076

Explore ways of representing decimals using mathematical notation and visual tools. Match a decimal fraction between 0 and 1 such as 0.7. Adjust units on an area representation and a common fraction. Match three decimals with each tool.

How important is zero in place value? How would you write '50' if there was no zero?

• TLF-IDM024910

Explore an alternative way to communicate numbers using the anchor numbers 5 and 10 and the ancient Roman counting system based on letters. Roman numerals were used throughout Europe well into the middle ages and still appear in the names of monarchs, the production year of films, on buildings and on timepieces.

In this lesson, Ms Kirszman demonstrates how to measure using 10 as a unit to iterate – rather than using a smaller unit. You will also explore how renaming, using place value parts, can help you when working with numbers. The place value number system will be looked at in some depth, as well as the importance of the periods ...

Meet Kevin Systrom and Piper Hanson as they explain how digital images work. What are pixels, those tiny dots of light, made from? How are colours created and represented? What does Kevin say about the way mathematical functions are used to create different image filters. What is the difference between image resolution ...

• TLF-IDM025794

In this lesson, you will continue to partition numbers in standard and non-standard ways. You'll also explore how the same problem can be solved in many ways, and you'll be challenged to find other ways to solve problems and to discover which strategies are most efficient.

• TLF-IDM011454

This is a digital resource comprising a video demonstration of rounding a decimal fraction to the nearest tenth. The commentary uses and interchanges between the language of decimal places and decimal place values expressed in terms of tenths and hundredths. Practice questions dealing more broadly with rounding numbers ...

An abacus is a tool that helps people solve maths problems. Why might some people still use, and encourage the use of, an abacus when there are more contemporary tools like calculators?

• TLF-IDM021832

This lesson aims to build students' algebraic reasoning and understanding of number as they explore computation on the number chart. Students explore the moves of a king chess piece and how the value of the numbers change as he moves. This builds into an algebraic exploration of equivalent values that can be found on the ...
