Now that children can confidently order and compare decimals with the same number of decimal places, it's time to use oracy and teamwork to apply that knowledge!

This Year 5 Order and Compare Decimals (Same Number of Decimal Places) Discussion Problem will consolidate learning about how to add to a mixed number. Children will complete an investigation into possible decimals that satisfy a real-life problem linked to swimming times, using clues to create then order decimals. Possible answers are provided to make marking as straightforward as possible!

A reasoning and problem solving resource and varied fluency worksheet are also available for this small step.
