  high class four.

• 00:01 - 00:04

  I hope you all had a lovely half term on

• 00:04 - 00:08

  a well deserved break after such hard work for the

• 00:08 - 00:09

  last couple of weeks.

• 00:09 - 00:11

  Now, today we're going to move on to a new

• 00:12 - 00:15

  unit in maths, and that is decimals.

• 00:16 - 00:19

  All right, so have a good answering this question.

• 00:20 - 00:21

  What is a decimal?

• 00:22 - 00:24

  You can pause the video, or you could just wait

• 00:24 - 00:25

  for me to talk it through.

• 00:26 - 00:26

  What do you think?

• 00:26 - 00:27

  What is a decimal?

• 00:29 - 00:33

  Well sm ALS are used to write a number that

• 00:33 - 00:34

  is not whole.

• 00:35 - 00:37

  That means the decimal is not a whole number.

• 00:39 - 00:41

  All right means it's got a decimal point on.

• 00:41 - 00:46

  It means it is a decimal number, decimal numbers or

• 00:46 - 00:49

  numbers that are either less than or in between the

• 00:49 - 00:49

  whole number.

• 00:50 - 00:52

  So they can either be less than a whole number

• 00:53 - 00:56

  or there could be in between, Ah, whole number.

• 00:57 - 00:58

  So let's look at some examples.

• 00:59 - 01:00

  So what is this number?

• 01:00 - 01:07

  First of all, well, it's 0.5 now, the point that

• 01:07 - 01:10

  little dot that circle is known as a decimal point.

• 01:11 - 01:15

  So 0.5 now, what is that number?

• 01:15 - 01:15

  What does it represent?

• 01:16 - 01:17

  And What is it worth?

• 01:17 - 01:21

  Well, the zero represents the ones on the five Represents

• 01:22 - 01:27

  10th. Now, after your decimal point, it comes up with

• 01:27 - 01:30

  10th, then 100th, then frozen.

• 01:31 - 01:33

  But let's focus on 10th for a night.

• 01:33 - 01:38

  So 0.5 is 5/10 so that as a fraction will

• 01:38 - 01:44

  be 5/10, because it zero ones on its 5/10.

• 01:45 - 01:46

  No, you're gonna have to go with this one.

• 01:47 - 01:48

  What is that number?

• 01:49 - 01:50

  What does it represent on?

• 01:50 - 01:51

  What is it as a fraction?

• 01:54 - 01:55

  Well, that number is 0.3.

• 01:58 - 02:00

  No, there's zero ones on this.

• 02:00 - 02:01

  How many 10th?

• 02:02 - 02:02

  There's three.

• 02:04 - 02:05

  So 3/10.

• 02:06 - 02:10

  0.30 ones on 3/10 Now, guys, what I would like

• 02:11 - 02:12

• 02:20 - 02:24

  is just me showing you a quick little demonstration off

• 02:24 - 02:26

  how to work out some of the varied fluency questions.

• 02:27 - 02:29

  Alright, So feel free to watch the YouTube video for

• 02:29 - 02:32

  some more examples and a bit more often explanation or
