Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Introduce the concept of decimal place value. Discuss how each digit has a different value based on its position. Use examples and a place value chart.
2	Direct Instruction	10 min	Teach how to read and write decimal numbers. Demonstrate identifying the value of each digit in a given decimal. Show how to compare and order decimals through examples.
3	Guided Practice	5 min	Distribute worksheets. Guide students through a few practice problems together, reinforcing concepts and addressing any questions.
4	Independent Practice	5 min	Allow students to work independently on the remainder of the worksheet. Encourage them to help each other while providing support where needed.
5	Conclusion & Reflection	5 min	Recap key concepts learned in the lesson. Allow students to share any challenges they faced (without presentations). Discuss the importance of decimal place value in real-world scenarios.
6	Homework Assignment	N/A	Assign a set of practice problems on decimal place value for homework. Ensure students understand that they will submit homework for feedback but will not present it in class.

Homework

• Complete the assigned worksheet involving decimal place value problems.
• Students will submit their homework at the beginning of the next class for feedback but will not be required to present it in front of the class.

Assessment

• Formative assessment through observation during guided practice and independent work.
• Review of homework submissions to assess understanding of decimal place value.

Additional Notes
