An equation is used to show that one number, calculation or expression is equal to another. For example: 3 + 4 = 7

An expression contains one or more values, where each value is separated by an operator. For example: 3 + 4

Explain that decimal numbers with tenths can be composed additively

Maths

In this unit pupils will calculate with decimal numbers using column addition and subtraction. In the future unit pupils will identify hundredths as part of a whole and describe and represent hundredths as a decimal fraction. They will compare and order decimal numbers with hundredths.

In the prior unit pupils identified tenths as part of a whole and describe and represented tenths as a decimal fraction. They counted tenths in different ways and compared and ordered decimal numbers with tenths. In the future unit pupils will calculate with decimal numbers using column addition and subtraction.
