Pupils use their understanding of place value and fluency with decimals from this unit in order to extend this understanding to fractions.  In the future unit, pupils will be asked to compare and order both fractions and decimals and will assess when conversion is required.

The prior unit on factors, multiples, squares and cubes helped pupils build on their understanding that any positive integer can be expressed as a product of its factors. This skill is used here to explore multiplying and dividing with decimals.
