STANDARD: (PA Common Core):

Subject or Topic: Decimals Section
Standard - CC.2.1.4.C.3
Connect decimal notation to fractions, and compare decimal fractions (base 10
denominator, e.g., 19/100).
I. Performance Objectives (Learning Outcomes)
The students will connect the relationship between tenths and hundredths by doing the guided practice.

II. Instructional Materials

Math Book B
III. Subject Matter/ Content (prerequisite skills, key vocabulary, big idea, New Content)
A. Prerequisite Skills
Fractions
Addition
Subtraction
Expressing Fractions in Tenths as Decimals
Finding Equivalent Ones and Tenths
Express Mixed Numbers as Decimals
Expressing Improper Fractions as Decimals
Writing Decimals to Show Their Place Value
Use Place Value to Understand
B. Key Vocabulary
Decimal Point -a dot separating the ones and tenths places in a decimal number.
Tenth- one part of ten
Decimal Form- how a decimal is written for example 1 tenth is written in decimal form as 0.1.
Expanded Form- a way to write numbers that shows the place value of each digit.
Hundredth- a whole broken into 100 pieces.
Place Holder Zero- 0.90 the digit zero in the ones place and the digit zero in the hundredths place
are place holder zeros.
C. Big Idea: Decimals
D. New Content:
Expressing Fractions in Hundredths as Decimals
Find Equivalent Tenths and Hundredths
Express Tenths and Hundredths as Decimals
 Express Fractions as Decimals

IV. Implementation
A. Introduction – Draw a square that has been divided into ten pieces. Ask: What fraction of the
whole is one part? Next divide the square into 100 pieces.
Say when one whole is divided into 100 parts each part is a hundredth
Development- . Tell the students that another way to write one hundredth is 1/100 as a decimal it
would be 0.01. Do the guided practice as a class. Show the students how they can represent hundredth in the
places value chart. Show students examples such as two tenths and five hundredths. Explain to students that
10 one hundredths equals 1 tenth. Use the place value chart to show why this is. Do the guided practice as a
group.

C. Closure – Give the students workbook page 5 for homework.

D. Accommodations / Differentiation -
Student A may use multiplication chart if necessary.
E. Assessment/Evaluation plan
Guided Practice:
Yes- students are completing their guided practice.
No -Students do not complete their guided practice .
