always looks unhappy too

Do you think we should be talking about him like this behind his back?

Student

This figure is zero point five. It’s a decimal number




Teacher

Do you know how to change the decimal into a fraction?


Student

Yes. The number is one half




Teacher

Now pick two numbers between one and ten, including decimal numbers and fractions,
then add, subtract, multiply or divide them as you like. If there are decimals in your answer, round
them up to the nearest whole number




Student

Nine minus six is three. Four multiplied by two equals eight. Zero point three six plus
one point seven five equals…

Two point one one. Rounding it off to the nearest whole number gives you two. It’s
easier to add it all up if you use whole numbers
