unnecessary tasks) (Moving
towards abstraction in fractions)
• Review of the idea of a decimal
fraction
• Place value in the context of

• Inter conversion of fractions and
decimal fractions (avoid recurring
decimals at this stage)
• Word problems involving
addition and subtraction of
decimals (two operations together
on money, mass, length and
temperature)
