Description
Looking for a quick way to introduce your students to decimals? How about a way to build your students' number sense and review for end-of-year testing? Look no further!
This is a NO PREP four-part mini lesson series on decimals! These lessons will take students through a review of place value concepts to build their number sense. Then, guiding questions will help students discover what happens when a whole number is divided by ten, and then divided by ten again, to make decimals in tenths and hundredths. These lessons will also help them understand the relationship between tenths and hundredths, as well as model decimals in all kinds of ways!
Topics covered in this lesson include:
- Place value with a base 10 number system
- Multiplication and division
- The relationship between fractions and decimals
- What is a tenth?
- Different ways to model tenths
- How tenths can build to make a whole
- Problem solving with tenths
- What is a hundredth?
- The relationship between tenths and hundredths
- Different ways to model hundredths
- Problem solving with hundredths
- Modeling whole numbers and decimal parts together
Each 40-minute lesson includes slides that will guide you and your students through the lesson, with warm-ups and whole-class guided practice questions built in. Each lesson also comes with a FREE printable worksheet for your students to practice the skills learned in each lesson - and answer keys are provided! Each lesson's worksheet can be found via links in the corresponding lesson slides.
