Subject: Mathematics

Grade Level: Grade 4

Objective:
1. The learners should have knowledge and understanding decimal numbers and
their relationship to fractions.
2. By the end of the quarter, the learners are able to represent, compare, order, and
round decimal numbers.
3. The learners:
1. Accurately draw number lines to represent decimal numbers with tenth part.
2. Correctly plot decimal numbers with tenth decimal part on a number line.
I. Before the Lesson / Pre-lesson Proper

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Understanding Fractions - Students will learn how fractions relate to decimal
numbers, particularly focusing on tenths (e.g., 0.1 is equivalent to 1/10).
2. Comparing Whole Numbers - Students will explore how to compare whole
numbers, which is foundational for understanding how decimal numbers fit into the
number line.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. Science - Students can learn about measurements in science, particularly using
decimal numbers to record data (e.g., measuring length in centimeters).
2. Social Studies - Understanding currency and budgeting can help students see
practical applications of decimal numbers in real life, such as managing money.

Activating Prior Knowledge:


Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Instructional Materials: Whiteboard and markers.
Energizer 1: Decimal Number Line Hop - Students will hop on a drawn number line
on the floor, calling out decimal numbers as they land on them.
Energizer 2: Number Line Relay - In groups, students race to correctly place
decimal numbers on a large number line drawn on the board.
Establishing Lesson Purpose / Intention:
Today, we will explore decimal numbers and their relationship to fractions.
Understanding decimal numbers is essential because they are used in many real-life
situations, such as measuring, shopping, and cooking. This knowledge will help you
in your daily life and future math studies.

Lesson Language Practice/Unlocking of Difficulties:

Key Terms:
1. Decimal
2. Fraction
3. Number Line

Key Concepts:
1. Decimal numbers can represent parts of a whole, similar to fractions.
2. Number lines can be used to visualize and compare decimal numbers.
II. During the Lesson Proper

Reading the Key Idea:


Decimal numbers represent parts of whole numbers and can be visualized on a
number line, making it easier to compare and order them.

Developing Understanding of the Key Idea:

Activities
Activity 1: Number Line Drawing
Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning
Materials: Graph paper, rulers, and pencils.
Significance: Students will create their own number lines to better understand how
decimal numbers fit within them.

Instructions:
1. Using graph paper, draw a horizontal line and label it as your number line.
2. Mark the whole numbers (0, 1, 2, etc.) and then divide each whole number into ten
equal parts to represent tenths.
3. Label the decimal numbers (0.1, 0.2, etc.) on your number line.

Rubrics:
- Accuracy of Number Line: 5 pts.
- Neatness of Presentation: 5 pts.
- Correct Labeling of Decimal Values: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What do the divisions on your number line represent?
2. How did you determine where to place 0.5 on your number line?
3. Why is it important to understand decimal placement on a number line?
Activity 2: Decimal Number Placement
Teaching Strategy: Interactive/Integrated Learning
Materials: A large number line drawn on the board and sticky notes with decimal
numbers.
Significance: This activity engages students in actively placing decimal numbers on
a class number line, reinforcing their understanding.

Instructions:
1. Each student receives a sticky note with a decimal number on it.
2. One by one, students will come up to the board and place their sticky note on the
correct spot on the number line.
3. After all notes are placed, the class will review and discuss the placements.

Rubrics:
- Correct Placement: 5 pts.
- Participation: 5 pts.
- Engagement in Discussion: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. How did you decide where to place your decimal number?
2. What patterns do you notice in the placements of the decimal numbers?
3. Were there any decimal numbers that were difficult to place? Why?

Deepening Understanding of the Key Idea:

Activity: Decimal Comparison Challenge


Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-Based Learning
Materials: None required.
Significance: Students will engage in a discussion about comparing decimal
numbers based on their placements on the number line.

Instructions:
1. Pose questions about which decimal numbers are greater or less than others
based on their position on the number line.
2. Facilitate a discussion where students defend their answers with reasoning.
3. Summarize key points about comparing decimals.

Rubrics:
- Quality of Responses: 5 pts.
- Participation in Discussion: 5 pts.
- Ability to Justify Comparisons: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. Which decimal is greater: 0.3 or 0.4? Why?
2. How can understanding the number line help you compare decimals?
3. What strategies can you use to remember the order of decimal numbers?
III. After the Lesson / Post-lesson Proper

Making Generalizations / Abstractions:


Today, we learned that decimal numbers are crucial for understanding parts of whole
numbers and can be visualized on a number line. This understanding is essential for
comparing, ordering, and rounding decimal numbers. Recognizing how decimals
relate to fractions enhances our mathematical skills and real-life applications.

Assessment - Evaluating Learning:


Teaching Strategy: Direct Instruction

Questions:
1. What is a decimal number?
2. How do you represent decimal numbers on a number line?
3. Why is it important to understand the relationship between decimals and
fractions?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. How would you explain the difference between a decimal and a fraction to
someone else?
2. Why might it be important to round decimal numbers in real-life situations?
3. How can you use decimal numbers in everyday life?

Answers:
1. A decimal represents a part of a whole, while a fraction expresses the same
concept but in a different form (e.g., 0.5 is the same as 1/2).
2. Rounding decimal numbers is important for simplifying calculations, making
estimates, and ensuring clarity in communication.
3. Decimal numbers are used in currency, measurements, and data analysis, making
them essential for daily activities and decision-making.

Additional Activities for Application / Remediation:


1. Have students create a decimal number poster at home that illustrates the
relationship between decimals and fractions. They can use household items to
represent tenths, such as dividing food items (e.g., cutting a pizza into tenths) and
share their findings in the next class.
