This is a fun and interactive game that helps students practice ordering rational numbers, including decimals, fractions, and percents. You are planting and harvesting flowers for cash. Allow the bee to pollinate, and you can multiply your crops and cash rewards!

Students are asked to write numbers involving decimals in both standard form (as base ten numerals) and expanded form.

In the context of two word problems students are asked to compare decimals using the less than, equal to, and greater than symbols.

Students are asked to write the number name (word form) of a number when given the base-ten numeral (standard form).

Students compare pairs of decimals, one in word form to one in expanded form.

Students are read aloud four numbers and are asked to write the numbers using decimal notation. Then students are shown a number containing a decimal and asked to read it aloud.

This is lesson 1 of 3 in the Just Right Goldilocks’ Café unit. This lesson focuses on systematic investigation on getting a cup of coffee to be the “just right” temperature. Students will use temperature probes and code using ScratchX during their investigation.

A fire caused by faulty wiring set off a sprinkler system, which damaged a school. The school must be remodeled and the electrical wiring must be replaced. Students will decide which materials to use to as conductors and which to use as insulators in the new wiring.

Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem, while considering constraints and tradeoffs. Students integrate their ELA skills into MEAs as they are asked to clearly document their thought process. MEAs follow a problem-based, student centered approach to learning, where students are encouraged to grapple with the problem while the teacher acts as a facilitator.

This lesson has activities to review place value to the thousandths place. The teacher creates a kingdom of decimals in the classroom and opposing knights duel with their digits while reviewing the meaning of place value.

This MEA asks students to assist Ms. Joy Ride who is creating a virtual TV series about extreme roller coasters. They work together to determine which roller coaster is most extreme and should be featured in the first episode. Students are presented with research of five extreme roller coasters and they must use their math skills to convert units of measurements while learning about force and motion.

This 5E lesson provides a framework for students to manipulate and understand the relationships between decimal place values through the thousandths. Students will have the opportunity to work with a concrete model that they will then use in a pictorial representation. This lesson is designed to be spread over 2, 45-minute sessions.

This 5E lesson emphasizes the framework created in the lesson "Decimals Have a Point!" (ID: 30766) in which students learned to manipulate and understand the relationships between decimal place values through the thousandths. Students will have the opportunity to reference the pictorial model (see attached) to compare two decimals up to thousandths. This lesson is designed to be done in a 60 minute block.

Students will be able to use decimals through the thousandths place to name numbers between whole numbers through the use of number generators and critically thinking about where to place numbers on a place value chart.

This lesson involves writing, reading and comparing decimals. It is a review of place value, and a Swat game at the end for skills practice.

In this MEA, students are challenged to choose the snacks that will be in a vending machine in a school. Students will need to multiply and divide whole numbers and decimal numbers as well as compare fractions and decimal numbers. Students will work in groups to solve the problem and write a letter to the client explaining their thinking.
