D A J M School Darakhshan Lesson Plan Subject: Mathematics Topic: Decimals Date of delivery: Monday, 25 th July’2011 Class: V Prepared by: Miss Musarrat Jehan Khan D A J M S Darakhshan Staff no JDK 54

What is a Decimal?

What is a decimal? A decimal is similar to a fraction in that it is not a whole number. It is a part of a number.

Which is larger? 1) 4.5 or 4.05 Because 4.5 equals 4.50, 50 is larger than 5 2) or 6.3 Because 6.3 equals 6.300, 300 is larger than 3 3) or Because 5.12 equals 5.120, 120 is larger than

When do we use decimals? Weight (He weighed 85.5 lbs). Temperature (It was so cold today, it was only 43.7°) Measuring distances (example, the race was a 5 km, but since I don’t understand kilometers, I changed it to miles and saw that the race was 3.1 Miles long.

What do students need to know? Zooming in on the number line Arranging numbers in order.

Zooming in with a weak glass ½ 3

Zooming In Ten “spaces” (nine new numbers, labeled 1 to 9)

Zooming In More Ten “spaces”Ten “spaces” (nine new numbers, labeled 1 to 9)

What do students need to know? Zooming in on the number line Arranging numbers in order

43 What “tens” is it between? 4050

40 43 How far from the nearest tens?

4.3 What “ones” is it between? 45

4 4.3 How far from the nearest “ones”?

Lesson Plan 1 Mathematics - v – Decimals Learning Objectives: Students will be able to distinguish between tenths, hundredths and thousandths. Students will: explore decimal place value. read and write decimals using tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. compare decimals using greater-than and less-than notation

Material:  Grid paper  Popsicle stick  Number line  Dice Linkage with previous topic: Recall: Notation i.e. reading and writing of numbers

Methodology: Questioning while discussing Have students examine the 10 x10 grid. Explain ways to read and write decimal. Lesson Plan 1 Activity 1: 1. Model fraction by using ten popsicle sticks.

Lesson Plan 1 Activity 2 Teacher dictates decimals for students to write in the place value chart. Lesson Plan 1 Activity 3 Roll a Decimal On the board write the following 0._ _ _ _. Select an appropriate place to put the digit that was rolled in order to create a number with the largest value possible.

Lesson Plan 1 Activity 4: Plot that Decimal Create a number line on the board. Have the number line extend from zero to ten. Create number cards by writing a whole number or a decimal number on each card with a marker. Have that student go to the number line and place his card.

Lesson Plan 2 Mathematics - v – Decimals Objectives: Use decimal skills to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Material: Child's favourite clothing catalog. Paper bag Play or real coins 9 red cards. 9 blue cards. 9 green cards. Two sets of ten cards. Linkage with previous topic: Recall: Knowhow to solve four operations.

Methodology: Brainstorming and questioning while discussing. Oral questioning about solving addition and subtraction. Oral recap of tables to find out product of multiplication. Lesson Plan 1 Activity 1: Tell child that he can shop for his own clothes this year, within a certain budget. Give him the number that represents the limit of his budget, and tell him to do calculation! He'll need to use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Lesson Plan 2 Activity 2 : The goal of these games is to practice counting and adding coins to reach Rs 1.00.Place all of the coins into the paper bag Have all players continue to draw coins on the paper until they have reached Rs The first to Rs 1.00 accurately wins the round.

Lesson Plan 2 Activity 3 : Human Place Value Game: Pass out one card to each student. Instruct them to make the largest number possible with the given numbers. Keep on changing the numbers. Lesson Plan 2 Activity 4: Prepare two sets of ten cards with a different digit on each (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9). Mix up the cards. The player with the greatest total scores 1 point.

Lesson Plan 3: Mathematics_V_Decimals Objectives: To explain how to round decimals to the nearest 10th, 100th and 1000th. Methodology: Demonstration method. Linkage with previous topic: Recall: Rounding off whole numbers.

Lesson Plan 3 Activity 1: Cinderella Rounding When rounding to any place value, use the Cinderella story to make it clearer when to "go" or "stay".

Long-term Goal  Adopt 21 st century teaching approaches to enhance students appreciation of Mathematics.  To help students to develop decimal skills needed in daily life.

Short-term goals To explore decimal place value. Use decimal skills to add, subtract, multiply and divide. To explain how to round off decimals to 10 th,100 th and 1000 th.

Instructional Strategies and tasks  They will explain how they approach their answers.  I will ask questions from students which require higher order thinking.  Ask questions about notation and four operations.  Activities will be performed to develop student’s interest.

Solutions to Anticipated Challenges Challenges A. The principal may not agree with my new approach. B. Parents may not understand my methods. C. There is no computer in class. D. There may be some students who do not want to work. Solutions A. I will convince my principal that computer provides more knowledge in less time in today’’s time. B. I will use my new word processing skills to create a newsletter to inform parents of my new methods. C. I will take students to the computer lab. D. I will create interest in students by performing various activities.

Class 5 News By Musarrat Jehan Khan August 1 st,2011 What happened in class this week. Students were taught about chapter ‘’Decimal.” A competiton of tables will be held in class and result will be announced next week. What happened in class next week. Make an assignment on “Grid paper colour 1/10,10/100 and 1/100” Parents will prepare their children on four operations.

1 st week Decimals will be introduced & emphasize on place value. 2 nd week The four operations in decimal.. 3 rd week Rounding off decimals. 4 th week Take test.

Resources Other teachers who teach my same grade and subject. Internet. MS Word and power point. Took help from Intel Teach Program.

Conclusion I will implement newly learned techniques of intel so student will gain a better knowledge of Mathematics and will develop a better understanding of the topic.
