This Year 5 Adding Decimals within 1 supporting activity is fun and practical to help develop children's understanding of adding decimals. Pupils can work in pairs to generate numbers using digit cards and then use counters to represent their numbers on place value charts. This helps children to demonstrate their understanding of the value of each digit before calculating the answer.

This activity is ideal for whole class or small groups and is the perfect bridge between concrete resources before moving on to more abstract methods.
