A great maths starter activity on decimals which can be used to develop fluency in key skills over the course of a topic, or used for recall and retention spread throughout the year. This PowerPoint contains eight Decimal of the day tasks, following the same format. With each decimal, students need to:

  • Write it in words
  • Add an integer
  • Subtract an integer
  • Round it to 1dp and 1sf
  • Multiply and divide it by multiples of 10

Practises a range of skills including rounding and subtracting where the result is negative. There is also a blank slide so teachers can create their own.
