Lesson details
Key learning points

- The decimal point can help ensure that digits with the same place value are combined.
- Multiplication can be made easier by considering factors.
- Division can be made easier by considering equivalent calculations.
Keywords
Integer - An integer is any positive or negative whole number or zero. E.g. (−2), 0, 153 are all examples of integers.
Decimal form - A number is in decimal form when the decimal point is shown and there are digits to the right of the decimal point.

Common misconception
Students often omit any place holders when subtracting decimals.
Encourage all place holders to be used in all written calculations so they are not omitted when they need to be there.
