Grado 5
Preparation
Lesson Purpose
The purpose of this lesson is for students to read and write decimals to the thousandths place and represent the decimals with diagrams.
Lesson Narrative
In this lesson, students represent decimals to the thousandths in different ways. First, students use hundredths grids to represent fractions and decimals. They also write decimals representing a shaded region. Then students analyze language to describe a decimal represented on a hundredths grid, focusing on the value of each digit in a decimal and how it is represented in the corresponding diagram. These different ways of viewing a decimal lead naturally to the expanded form and word form of decimals which students will study in greater detail in future lessons.
