Activities to practise beyond the quiz
- Supported by the guided activity; selecting an MCQ does not demonstrate this action.
- VC2M5N01-C01Each move one place right makes the place value one tenth as large. A trailing zero changes the written form, not the value.
- VC2M5N01-C02Compare whole-number parts first. If they match, compare digits from tenths onwards; write trailing zeroes to align places.
- VC2M5N01-C03The spaces between ticks, rather than the tick marks, show equal intervals. Use the interval value to locate a decimal.
- VC2M5N01-C04Constructing and explaining an original decimal number-line representation.
