“The teaching of any subject, from science to history, can be enlivened and enhanced by incorporating art into the instruction.”  Jack Petrash (2002)

In Class 5 & 6 the children are learning about decimals. The image of a castle with different turrets has been useful in revising Place Value (units, tens, hundreds etc.). Here, the castle guard shows off his medals, which have been used to teach how we can turn common fractions into decimals; his gold buttons are the decimal places, which must always line up!
