Step 4-6: Consolidation of Steps 4-6 Year 6 Decimals Learning Video Clip

Alex and Sophia continue their school trip where they enjoy a lunch at Pizza Shed and work out how much the pizzas will cost. They also take a boat ride where they work out the price of the tickets for the whole group. In the Museum of Useless Information, they discover some fascinating facts that involve them multiplying and dividing decimals. Finally, there’s another quiz which tests all their knowledge!

This Learning Video Clip has been designed as a consolidation tool for steps 4, 5 and 6. It contains content relevant to all these steps and can be used in parts to recap a particular step or in on its own at the end of a teaching sequence for the included steps.
