Day 3: decimals greater than 1

LI: to explore the relationship between decimals and fractions

Roll a dice four times to give you 4 digits. Arrange the digits to create ten numbers with 2 decimal places

e.g. If I rolled 1,4, 5, and 6  I could create the numbers:

14.56,  16.45, 15.46 etc.

Extension:

For each number you create write it as a fraction too.

e.g.

14.56 = 14  56/100
