Why this why now

We begin year 7 with checking, securing and further development of place value in order to prepare adequately for further work on number in the following units for this term.

  • Convert between standard and decimal forms

Place value

In this unit pupils revisit, secure and develop their understanding of place value with integers, decimals, fractions, metric and imperial units. This knowledge is then extended to order and compare numbers of increasing complexity.
