Stage 1 Desired Results

Established Goal(s): GPS MCC5.NBT.3 Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g. 347.392 = 3 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 7 x 1 + 3 x (1/10) + 9 x (1/100) + 2 x (1/1000). b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons. MCC5.NBT.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used. Enduring Understanding(s): Students will be able to... Read and write decimals to the thousandths place value using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form with 100% accuracy. Order decimals from least to greatest based on the numbers in each place value with 100% accuracy. Essential Question(s):

What are decimals? What are place values? What is expanded form? How can you use expanded form to compare place value? How do you order decimals from least to greatest? How do you add decimals? How do you subtract decimals?
Students will be able to (Skills) Follow directions on a webquest to complete activities on adding, subtracting, and ordering decimals.

Students will know(Knowledge) Read and write decimals to the thousandths place value using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Order decimals to the thousandths place value based on the numbers in each place value.

Stage 2 Assessment Evidence

Performance Task(s): Goal: Order decimals to the thousandths Other Evidence:

place value based on the numbers in each place value. Students will be able to add decimals up to the thousandths place value. Students will be able to subtract decimals up to the thousandths place value. Students will be able to follow a webquest to complete activities on adding, subtracting, and ordering decimals.

Informal o Class discussions o Questions asked by the teacher o Teacher observation Formal o Webquest work

Stage 3 Learning Plan

Learning Activities: The teacher will review place values with students. The teacher will review comparing decimals with students. The teacher will briefly introduce how to use order decimals from least to greatest to the students before doing the activity. Students will watch a video on how to order decimals. The teacher will briefly introduce how to add and subtract decimals. Students will watch a video on how to add and subtract decimals. Students will use Zunal.com (http://zunal.com/webquest.php?w=213593) to complete a webquest that contains five decimal activities on adding, subtracting and ordering decimals. The students will show all their work for each activity on notebook paper. Students will work independently to complete the webquest. The teacher will observe the students as they work to observe students understanding.
Engage The teacher will review comparing decimals with students by giving students numbers and having them compare the numbers using <, >, and = symbols by standing in front of the classroom. Elicit - The teacher will state what numbers need to be compared and students will determine if the first decimal is equal to, greater than, or less than the second decimal. Explore Students will be given a place value chart. Students will work with a partner to order decimals from least to greatest. Students will use cubes to represent the numbers in each place value and write the expanded form of the decimals based on their representations. Explain The teacher will discuss how ordering decimals from least to greatest will help the students when adding and subtracting decimals. Elaborate & Extend The teacher will give students five sets of decimals and have the students use their place value charts to help them order the decimals from least to greatest. The students will then add and subtract each set of decimals.

Evaluate - Students will complete a webquest containing five decimal activities. Students will show how to add, subtract and order the decimals based on the activity on their notebook paper.
