Place Value with Decimals
Grade 5
Mathematics
20 students
This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically focusing on understanding decimal place value (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NBT.A.1).
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (min) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Decimal Values | 5 | Briefly explain what place value means, focusing on decimals. Use examples on the board. |
| 2 | Interactive Activity | 10 | Distribute printable place value cards to students. Guide them in filling out the cards with given decimal numbers. |
| 3 | Group Discussion | 5 | Facilitate a class discussion on the filled cards; students discuss their reasoning on the place values. |
| 4 | Class Check | 5 | Collect the cards or conduct a random check of what students filled out to assess understanding. |
| 5 | Assigning Homework | 3 | Provide students with a homework assignment slip. Explain the homework task briefly without going into details. |
| 6 | Conclusion and Recap | 2 | Summarize key points of the lesson and answer any remaining questions. |
Students will complete a homework assignment related to decimal place values, which will be checked without presentations.
"Good morning, class! Today, we are going to dive into an exciting topic in mathematics: Place Value with Decimals! Can anyone tell me what they think place value means? [Pause for responses]
Great! Place value is all about understanding the value of each digit in a number based on its position. For example, in the number 3.57, the '3' is in the 'ones' place, the '5' is in the 'tenths' place, and the '7' is in the 'hundredths' place. Let's take a moment to look at this on the board."
[Write the number 3.57 on the whiteboard and label the places accordingly.]
"Now, as we can see, the position of a digit gives it a specific value. This is crucial when we work with decimal numbers. Let's keep this in mind as we move forward."
"Next, I have some exciting hands-on activities for you! I’m going to distribute these printable place value cards. Each card has a decimal number for you to work with.
When you receive your cards, your task is to fill out the place value for each digit. For instance, if your number is 4.32, you’ll need to write down ‘4’ in the ‘ones’ place, ‘3’ in the ‘tenths’ place, and ‘2’ in the ‘hundredths’ place.
Now, everyone, let's get started! You have 10 minutes to complete this activity. If you have any questions, just raise your hand, and I’ll be right over to help!"
"Time's up! Now that you've filled out your place value cards, let’s come together for a class discussion. Who would like to share their card and describe the place values they completed?
[Encourage students to raise their hands and share, guiding the conversation to ensure everyone has an opportunity to contribute. Use phrases like:]
'That’s a great point! Can anyone add onto that?' or 'Can you explain why you placed that number in that position?'
Let’s hear from a few more of you!"
"Excellent discussions, everyone! To check your understanding, I’m going to collect your place value cards. If you’d prefer, I can also ask a few of you to explain your cards to the class without collecting them.
This will help me assess how well everyone grasped the concept of decimal place values today. So, please raise your hand if you're comfortable sharing about your card as I collect them."
"Thank you all for your hard work today! Now, as we wrap up, I’d like to assign some homework to reinforce what we’ve learned about decimal place value. I’ll be handing out a homework assignment slip that outlines everything you need to do.
You’ll be practicing filling out similar place value charts at home. Please make sure to take a slip so you have all the details you need!"
"Before we finish, let’s quickly recap what we learned today. We discussed the concept of place value, specifically focusing on decimals and how to identify the value of each digit based on its position.
Does anyone have any last questions before we conclude our lesson?
[Pause for any final questions or comments.]
Fantastic! Thank you for your active participation today, and don’t forget to complete your homework. Have a wonderful day!"
What is place value, and why is it important when working with decimal numbers? Provide a brief explanation.
For the decimal number 5.82, identify the place value of each digit.
Fill in the following place value chart for the decimal number 6.145:
| Place | Value |
|---|---|
| Ones | |
| Tenths | |
| Hundredths | |
| Thousandths |
Convert the following decimal numbers into their expanded form:
Why is it important to understand the place value of digits in decimal numbers? Provide an example to illustrate your point.
Take the decimal number 0.006. Identify the place value for each digit in the number and explain the significance of the leading zeros.
Create your own decimal number using three different digits. Write the number and describe the place value of each digit.
Compare the decimal numbers 3.45 and 3.54. Which one is greater and why? Explain your reasoning using place value.
Complete the following statement: "In the number 2.803, the digit '8' is in the place, which means it has a value of ."
Draw a picture or a diagram that illustrates the concept of place value with decimals. Label your diagram clearly.
