Maths Worksheet: Rounding Decimals p2
The second in our series of rounding worksheets for Year 5 looks at rounding one and two decimal place numbers. When rounding an amount such as £3.47 to the nearest pound the key digit to look at is the tenths digit. If it is 5 or more, round up. Less than 5, round down. So [...]
Maths Worksheet: Year 4 Order Decimal Fractions
It is important that children recognise that the value of a digit depends on its place in the number – otherwise we could only possibly have 9 numbers and zero! So the digit 1 in 120 has a different value than the 1 in 210. It is, of course ten times bigger as it is [...]
Maths Worksheet: Order of Calculating (Bodmas) 3
This is the third of our worksheets on the order of calculations for Year 6 children, introducing the idea that an expression or row of questions needs to be carried out in a set order so that everyone reaches the same answer. This page concentrates on brackets. The first four questions have a single set [...]
Maths Worksheet: Decimal Fractions, hundredths
Reading decimal fractions can get quite tricky when moving into hundredths and this maths worksheet is a good test of understanding, probably most suited for year 5 children (/10 yrs old). 0.24 can be read as 24 hundredths or 2 tenths and 4 hundredths. As a fraction it would be written as 24/100. With a [...]

Maths Worksheet: Decimal Fractions, tenths
Fractions and decimals are two of the sticking points in maths, but here we have a maths worksheet which neatly combines the two, showing the equivalence between fractions and decimal fractions. Many children do not realise the link between a digit written after the decimal point and a fraction i.e. 0.2 is the same as [...]

The first will be about rounding decimals and the second on place value and hundredths. Both these are especially suitable for year 5. The [...]
Maths Worksheet: Order of Calculating (Bodmas) 2
The acronym BODMAS Brackets Of Division Multiplication Addition Subtraction. It is a convention to ensure everyone carries out a question such as that below in the same order. Numbers in brackets are worked out first, followed by multiplication and division with addition and subtraction last. 3 + 5 x 2 = One way to do [...]
Year 5 number worksheet: Tests of divisibility for multiples of 3 and 6
This page continues with our series on tests of divisibility. To find out whether a number is exactly divisible by 3: Add up the digits of the number. If the total is divisible by 3 then so is the number. Eg: 345 3 + 4+ 5 = 12. 12 is divisible by 3 so 345 [...]
