Year 6 - Number
Standard 6.NS.1.3 - Practice estimating products with decimals.
Included Skills: Estimation
Number — fractions (including decimals and percentages) • Pupils should be taught to: - use common factors to simplify fractions; use common multiples to express fractions in the same denomination - compare and order fractions, including fractions > 1 - add and subtract fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers, using the concept of equivalent fractions - multiply simple pairs of proper fractions, writing the answer in its simplest form [for example 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8] - divide proper fractions by whole numbers [for example, 1/3 ÷ 2 = 1/6] - associate a fraction with division and calculate decimal fraction equivalents [for example, 0.375] for a simple fraction [for example, 3/8] - identify the value of each digit in numbers given to three decimal places and multiply and divide numbers by 10, 100 and 1000 giving answers up to three decimal places - multiply one-digit numbers with up to two decimal places by whole numbers - use written division methods in cases where the answer has up to two decimal places - solve problems which require answers to be rounded to specified degrees of accuracy - recall and use equivalences between simple fractions, decimals and percentages, including in different contexts.
