White Rose Maths

Hello year 5, we  would love you to complete White Rose’s online maths lessons, one per week day. Week 1 is on decimals and hundredths, which works perfectly with what we were doing in class, so please start there. You can then move on to week 2, which is rounding decimals.

Each lesson has a lesson presentation where they teach you the material, and a worksheet which they prompt you to fill in as you go.
