Metric units are based around the standard units of metre, gram and litre.

The additive inverse of a number is a number that, when added to the original number, gives the sum of 0.

The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero. E.g. 5 and (-5) are both 5 away from zero and so both have an absolute value of 5.

Problem solving with integers and decimals

Pupils use their understanding of place value and fluency with decimals from this unit in order to extend this understanding to fractions.  In the future unit, pupils will be asked to compare and order both fractions and decimals and will assess when conversion is required.

The prior unit on factors, multiples, squares and cubes helped pupils build on their understanding that any positive integer can be expressed as a product of its factors. This skill is used here to explore multiplying and dividing with decimals.

In this unit pupils develop their ability and efficacy with the four operations including more complicated and challenging calculations involving fractions, decimals and negative numbers. This leads into an exploration of the priority order of operations.
