A representation is a way of showing a mathematical idea. Concrete objects, pictures and symbols can all be used to represent mathematics.

A mathematical process such as addition, subtraction, multiplication or division can be described as an operation.

An efficient strategy is a way of solving a problem that is accurate and can be done more quickly than others.

In this unit pupils will use their knowledge of decimal place value to convert between and compare metres and centimetres explaining that different lengths can be composed additively and multiplicatively.  In the future unit pupils will explain represent and compare whole pounds and pence.  They will convert quantities of money between pounds and pence and find change. 

In the prior unit pupils identified hundredths as part of a whole and described and represented hundredths as a decimal fraction. They compared and ordered decimal numbers with hundredths. In this unit pupils will use their knowledge of decimal place value to convert between and compare metres and centimetres explaining that different lengths can be composed additively and multiplicatively.
