Unit 10: Decimals (1)

Power play

• In pairs, use a spinner, like the one shown, to make a journey through
the grid.

• If you move off the grid (for example, if you spin 0.1 less or 0.01 less
on your first go), then you move back to (or stay on) 0.01 and it is your
partner’s turn.

• Who can get the furthest after 12 goes?

0.01 0.02 0.03 0.04 0.05 0.06 0.07 0.08 0.09 0.10

0.11 0.12 0.13 0.14 0.15 0.16 0.17 0.18 0.19 0.20

0.21 0.22 0.23 0.24 0.25 0.26 0.27 0.28 0.29 0.30

0.91 0.92 0.93 0.94 0.95 0.96 0.97 0.98 0.99 1.00

Here is an example:

• Player 1 starts on 0.01.

• On their first go, player 1 spins 0.01 more, so they count on 1 hundredth
and move to 0.02.

• On their second go, player 1 spins 0.1 more, so moves from 0.02 to 0.12.
