Subject: Math

Grade Level: Grade 5

Objective:
1. Give the place value and the value of a digit of a given decimal through ten
thousandths.
2. Give the place value and the value of a digit of a given decimal through ten
thousandths.
I. Before the Lesson / Pre-lesson Proper

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Introduction to Decimals - Students will explore the concept of decimals and their
significance in real-life applications, such as money and measurements.
2. Understanding Place Value - A focus on how place value works in whole numbers
and its extension into decimal numbers, emphasizing the relationship between whole
numbers and decimals.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. Science - Exploring measurements in scientific experiments, where decimals are
often used to record data.
2. Economics - Understanding how decimals are used in financial literacy, such as
calculating prices, discounts, and budgets.

Activating Prior Knowledge:


Teaching Strategy: Think-Pair-Share
Instructional Materials: Whiteboard and markers.
Energizer 1: Decimal Line-Up - Students will line up in order of their assigned
decimal values written on cards, promoting collaboration and understanding of
decimal placement.
Energizer 2: Decimal Hunt - Without any materials, students will share examples of
where they see decimals in daily life, discussing the significance of each example.

Establishing Lesson Purpose / Intention:


Today, we will learn how to determine the place value and the value of digits in
decimals up to ten thousandths. This understanding is essential as decimals are
widely used in everyday life, from shopping to measuring distances, and mastering
this concept will empower you to handle real-world problems confidently.

Lesson Language Practice/Unlocking of Difficulties:

Key Terms:
1. Place Value
2. Tenths
3. Thousandths

Key Concepts:
1. Each digit in a decimal has a specific place value that determines its value in
relation to other digits.
2. Understanding the place value system helps us accurately read and write decimal
numbers.
II. During the Lesson Proper

Reading the Key Idea:


The place value of a digit in a decimal number shows how much that digit is worth
based on its position in the number.

Developing Understanding of the Key Idea:

Activities
Activity 1: Decimal Place Value Chart
Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Materials: Chart paper and markers.
Significance: Students will create a place value chart that helps visualize the value
of digits in decimal numbers.

Instructions:
1. In small groups, draw a large place value chart on chart paper.
2. Label the columns for tenths, hundredths, thousandths, and ten-thousandths.
3. Populate the chart with examples of decimal numbers and their corresponding
place values.

Rubrics:
- Completeness of Chart: 5 pts.
- Accuracy of Place Values: 5 pts.
- Collaboration and Teamwork: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What is the place value of the digit 7 in the decimal 0.7345?
2. How does the place value change when moving from tenths to thousandths?
3. Can you give an example of a decimal number and explain the value of each
digit?
Activity 2: Decimal Value Scavenger Hunt
Teaching Strategy: Experiential Learning
Materials: None required (can be done outdoors or in the classroom).
Significance: Students will engage in a fun activity to find objects with decimal
values, enhancing their understanding through real-world examples.

Instructions:
1. Set a timer for five minutes and instruct students to find items around the
classroom that can be expressed as decimals (e.g., prices, lengths).
2. When time is up, students will share their findings and explain the decimal values
they identified.
3. Discuss the significance of these values in everyday life.

Rubrics:
- Participation in Activity: 5 pts.
- Explanation of Findings: 5 pts.
- Understanding of Decimal Values: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What decimal values did you find, and what objects did they represent?
2. Why is it important to understand the value of these decimals?
3. How do these decimals relate to your daily activities?

Deepening Understanding of the Key Idea:

Activity: Place Value Challenge


Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-based Learning
Materials: None required.
Significance: Students will engage in a discussion that challenges them to think
critically about decimal values.

Instructions:
1. Pose the question: "If I have the decimal 0.5823, what is the value of the digit 2?"
2. Encourage students to explain their reasoning and how they arrived at their
answer.
3. Ask follow-up questions to deepen the discussion, such as how changing the digit
affects the overall value of the decimal.

Rubrics:
- Engagement in Discussion: 5 pts.
- Clarity of Explanation: 5 pts.
- Ability to Connect Concepts: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What happens to the value of a decimal if the digit in the thousandths place is
changed?
2. How can understanding place value help us in financial situations?
3. Why is it important to accurately represent decimal values?
III. After the Lesson / Post-lesson Proper

Making Generalizations / Abstractions:


Today, we learned that each digit in a decimal number has a specific place value
that determines its worth. Understanding this concept not only helps us read and
write decimals but also applies to real-life situations such as budgeting and
measuring. The ability to accurately interpret decimal values is crucial for effective
decision-making.

Assessment - Evaluating Learning:


Teaching Strategy: Direct Instruction

Questions:
1. What is the place value of the digit 3 in the decimal 0.0532?
2. How do tenths and hundredths differ in value?
3. Provide an example of a decimal and explain the value of each digit.

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. How would the value of a decimal change if we shifted all digits one place to the
left?
2. In what real-life scenarios would understanding decimal values be critical?
3. How can we use decimals to compare prices effectively?

Answers:
1. Shifting digits left would decrease their value, making them smaller (e.g., 0.5
becomes 0.05).
2. Knowing decimal values is vital in budgeting, shopping, and measurements to
make informed choices.
3. Decimals allow us to see exact prices, helping us choose the best option when
comparing items.

Additional Activities for Application / Remediation:


1. Create a personal budget using decimal values for different expenses, ensuring
that students practice calculating total costs and understanding their place values.
This can be done using any writing materials available at home.
