Year 6 decimals worksheets aligned with the White Rose small steps
Our Year 6 decimals worksheets and lesson resources follow the full White Rose Spring Block 3 progression, supporting pupils as they deepen their understanding of place value and learn to calculate accurately with decimals. The sequence builds from identifying the value of digits within and beyond 1, through rounding and formal written methods for addition and subtraction.
Pupils then apply their place value knowledge to multiplying and dividing by powers of 10, before progressing to multiplying and dividing decimals by integers and solving contextual problems involving measures, money and scaling. These KS2 decimals resources include differentiated worksheets, modelling slides, fluency tasks and reasoning activities that support pupils in explaining their thinking and checking solutions. As part of our complete KS2 maths scheme of work, these materials provide reliable coverage and clear progression across the spring term.
