Objectives
(SLO)* Students will:
8. Describe and represent decimals (tenths, hundredths, thousandths),
concretely, pictorially and symbolically. [C, CN, R, V]

9. Relate decimals to fractions and fractions to decimals (to thousandths). [CN,

R, V]

10. Compare and order decimals (to thousandths) by using: • benchmarks •

place value • equivalent decimals. [C, CN, R, V]

11. Demonstrate an understanding of addition and subtraction of decimals

(limited to thousandths). [C, CN, PS, R, V]

 Have students provide 2 different ways of representing number that I

Mental Set/ Hook write on smart board using individual white boards
Introduction
  If students add the numbers, this is a way of representing, but we are
Development focusing on the parts in the card
(Steps of Lesson)  Example:

Example/ 1 2 3
Representation
17 hundredths 17(0.01) 17(1/100) 17/100
Six tenths 6(0.1) 6(1/10) 6/10
7 thousandths 7(0.001) 7(1/1000) 7/1000

 Use 1000 grid to represent number – what order makes most sense to
fill in?
 Tenths
 Hundredths
 Thousandths
 Estimate how close to a whole number the card is
 Put number on laminated number line

Students will practice using laminated cards.

Closure

Accommodations/ Prompting for questions, help with brainstorming.

Extensions Strategies to offer – check for understanding, visual representation of ideas.
Utilize EA for assistance for students with difficulty completing tasks

Assessment I will use formative assessment during the classroom discussion. I will monitor
Tools: the students’ ongoing exploration and understanding of the concept
Criteria: differentiated representation. At this point I will refer to my previous
Record Keeping: observations to ensure scaffolding is in the beginning stages, and I will
extend/adapt my feedback to confirm advancement of understanding.
