· Read 2 decimal place numbers
· Write 2 decimal place numbers.
· Order a set of consecutive 2 d.p. numbers (increasing and decreasing) within 99 999.
· Order a set of non-consecutive 2 d.p. numbers (increasing and decreasing) within 99 999.
· Demonstrate value of digits in any 2 d.p. number within 99 999 in terms of ten thousands, thousands, hundreds, tens, ones (units).
· Round 2 d.p. numbers to the nearest whole number, and to 1 d.p.
· Use standard written and calculator methods to divide numbers of any size by a single digit, including decimal numbers to 2 d.p., estimating the answer before calculating.
