In This Purposeful Practice…
Students will represent decimal tenths and perform operations with decimal tenths, including multiplying by a whole number.
Intentionality…
The purpose of the Day 2 activities is to reinforce key concepts from Day 1. Students will engage in a string of related problems through a math talk and will have an opportunity to complete independent purposeful practice. Today’s activities should be completed without the use of a calculator.
The math talk and purposeful practice serve to develop a deeper understanding of the following big ideas:
Number:
- Fractions can be represented in a variety of ways;
- Fractions (and their decimal representation) represent values relative to a whole (for example, one whole pack);
- Quantities represented as a decimal are fractions limited to base ten denominators (i.e.: tenths, hundredths, thousandths, etc.);
- Multiplication can represent “groups of”, or multiple copies of the same quantity;
- Multiplication is an extension of counting, skip counting and repeated addition.
