The Great Decimal Adventure!

Introduction Activity: "Decimal Treasure Hunt"

To kick off our journey, we are going on a Decimal Treasure Hunt! Here’s how it works:

Preparation: Before we start, make sure you have a piece of paper and a pencil ready. On your paper, draw a big treasure chest — this will be our ‘treasure box’!
Decimal Clues: I will read out some fun clues related to decimals that you will have to solve. Each clue will lead you closer to our treasure — a yummy treat to share at the end of the lesson! 🎉
Examples of Clues:
- Clue 1: “I cost $1.50. What is my decimal format?”
- Clue 2: “I am the decimal that represents half. What am I?”
- Clue 3: “If you divide a whole pizza (1) into 10 equal slices, how much does each slice represent in decimal?”
Collaborate: Work with a partner to discuss your answers. Each time you correctly solve a clue, add a treasure coin (drawn circle) to your treasure chest.
Conclusion: Once we’ve uncovered all the clues, we’ll gather to discuss what you learned and how decimals appeared in our adventure.
