Decimal learning

We are learning to:
Explain what decimals actually are and how they link to fractions and percentages.


Read and identify decimals to two decimal places.

Order decimals to three places, for examples, 6.25 and 6.3

I learnt what the decimal point is for, it separates the whole numbers from the part numbers. we have been working with deci-pipes which are these:

These are thousandths. These are hundredths.
I learnt that fractions relate to decimals because if you have 0.25 it is the same as 1/4. there are also whole deci-pipes and tenths deci-pipes which look like this:
 Whole. Tenths are the ones in the rubber band and the ones next to them.
