Here is a clear explanation of decimal place value using batting average as the example. Narrated and animated steps are clicked on so that learners can progress at their own pace. Consider having fifth graders interact with this website...

Learners count by tenths, hundredths, or tens in a task that uses decimal place value strategies. The young mathematicians then use <, >, or = to make correct comparisons between expanded decimal notations.

Model decimals and explore decimal place value with a useful printable. The worksheet showcases decimal square models representing one whole, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths.

Through four steps, three different time values for a 100-meter run are arranged on a number line in order to practice ordering decimal numbers. The price of two sports drinks are also compared. All of this comes in narrated and animated...

Reinforce the concept of place value with an eight-page practice exercise equipped with 18 problems for scholars to show what they know.    

Math sleuths find ways to solve problems to the nearest hundredth. These worksheets enable them find the percent of a decimal and is great for practice/reinforcement of this skill. 

Straight from the pages of a math textbook, this three-lesson series introduces young mathematicians to the world of integers. Starting with a definition of integers and their applications in the real world, this resource goes on to...

There is more than one way to write a number. The lesson plan provides teachers with a way to teach reading and writing decimals to thousandths using standard, expanded, and unit forms. Pupils work through in-class and homework...

Decimal place value is the topic of a Battleship themed-interactive. Scholars answer five questions—multiple-choice and true or false—while referencing a grid that acts as the board game. The practice concludes with a discussion...

Tests mathematicians' knowledge of decimals, place value, and rounding with a five-question interactive. A tool with movable parts assists scholars in answering questions—multiple-choice and true or false.  A discussion question...

Why was the fraction skeptical about marrying the decimal? Because he would have to convert! This worksheet provides much needed practice for young mathematicians to convert fractions into decimals and percents. 

In this mathematics learning exercise, 5th graders write each of the written form into a number form. Then they name the place value that has been underlined in the number. Students also write each decimal number into its normal form.

Use powers of 10 to convert between fractions and decimals. Pupils convert decimals to fractions by using place values in the 13th installment of a 25-part series. Class members reverse the process and find equivalent fractions with a...

Three activities make up an introductory lesson plan designed to create a strong foundation in comparing fractions to decimals and exploring and building decimal models. Pupils brainstorm and complete a Venn diagram to show how decimals...

Help your fourth graders make cents out of fractions and decimals with this short word problem. After learning that dimes are one-tenth and pennies one-hundredth of a dollar, learners write a fraction and decimal for a given number...

Extend the place value system. The first lesson plan in a series of 18 extends the place value system to millions through thousandths. Using place value charts, pupils see how the value of a digit changes as it moves places. Teachers use...

Introduces addition of decimals by using unit notation to represent the problem. Pupils use a place value chart to decompose the numbers and then add before connecting to the standard algorithm. 

Take a little bit away. The 10th section of an 18-part unit introduces subtraction of decimals. Scholars use a place value chart like they did with addition of decimals to organize and represent the problem. After using the place value...

Develop a definition of irrational numbers through an exploration of square roots. The 11th lesson in this series of 25 asks scholars to estimate the value of a square root. Learners observe as the estimation extends further and further...

Develop a better understanding of the value of pi. Learners explore the area of a circle using estimation and graph paper. While continuing to estimate the area of the circle using smaller and smaller grids, the number pi emerges. 

Is it possible to add infinitely long decimals? As pupils complete the examples in the ninth lesson of this 25-part series, they determine that adding these decimals cannot be done without error. Their task is then to determine the size...

You can't evaluate an irrational root expression without a calculator—or can you? Scholars estimate the value of roots within an expression to approximate the value of the expression. Expressions include a mix of square roots and whole...

How do you handle a decimal point when it appears in a multiplication problem? The answer is explained with a captivating and interactive slide show.

In this activity, students solve 20 problems to find the sums of decimals. They read the groups of numbers, place values, and write the totals as whole numbers and decimals.
