Year 4 decimals worksheets – Summer Block 1: Decimals B

Our Summer Block 1: Decimals B resources help Year 4 pupils deepen their understanding of tenths and hundredths. This unit focuses on making wholes, partitioning decimals in different ways, comparing and ordering decimals, and linking decimals to fractions such as halves and quarters.

What’s included?

All our resources for this block follow the White Rose Maths small steps and include:

• Year 4 decimals worksheets with varied fluency, reasoning and problem-solving
• Lesson plans and teacher slides for each small step
• Visual models and clear explanations for partitioning and comparing decimals
• Practice questions and support for rounding decimals to the nearest whole number

Week 1: Making and partitioning decimals
Pupils begin by learning to make a whole using tenths and hundredths, before moving on to partitioning decimals in flexible ways. Visual representations help pupils see how decimals are composed and decomposed, supporting a strong place value understanding.

Week 2: Comparing, ordering and linking to fractions
This week focuses on comparing and ordering decimals, including rounding to the nearest whole number. Pupils also explore how decimals link to familiar fractions like ½ and ¼, helping bridge knowledge between fractions and decimals.

Why it matters
By the end of this block, pupils will be more confident using decimals in everyday contexts, including money and measurement. They’ll be able to round, compare and convert between fractions and decimals – important skills for Year 5 and beyond.

All resources are written by experienced teachers and fully aligned with the Year 4 maths curriculum. Perfect for whole class teaching, interventions or revision.
