 Operations With Whole Numbers and Decimals

Suggested Pacing: 18 days

Lesson 1: Place Value

Objective: Read, write, and identify place value of digits in whole numbers and decimals through billions and millionths including powers of 10

Vocabulary: ten thousandth, hundred thousandth, millionth

Resources: Practice, Reteach, Challenge, Problem of the Day, and Homework

Chapter Preview: This chapter reviews the concepts of place value and computation with whole numbers and decimals.

Procedure: in their math journals, students are to solve the "Problem of the day", a daily routine, as soon as they are settled.

Problem of the day: How many boxes of one thousand flyers does a politician need in order to mail one flyer to each home in a city with one million homes? After discussion, students are to take turns at identifying values of digits in given numbers, explaining how to read decimal numbers, and writing whole numbers and decimal numbers in standard form, word form, short form, and expanded form. Then in groups, students are to work through exercises in Guided practice while supporting their answers with explanations.

Assess and Close: to check for comprehension, a number is written on the board such as 5.000048 and students are instructed to write it in word form. then ask students to write, for example, hundred nine millionths in standard form.

Inform students now that they learned the place values of digits from millionths to hundred billions, they will use their understanding to compare and order whole numbers and decimals.

 


Lesson 2: Compare and Order Numbers

Objective: Compare, order, and round whole numbers and decimals

Lesson Overview: Students use place value to compare, order, and round whole numbers through hundred billions and decimals through millionths. they also develop a sense of the magnitude of numbers.

Procedure:

Problem of the day: as groups, students use a number line to describe the locations of ex. 0.276 and 0.285 using the words right and left in their answers.

work through exercises 1-2 and 4 on page 7 with students. have students explain how they found their answers.

Assess: Teacher writes 0.0612 and 0.0621 on the board. Ask students to explain how to compare the above numbers.


Lesson 3: Round Numbers

Objective: Compare, order, and round whole numbers and decimals

Procedure:
