Stage 1 Desired Results

Established Goal(s): GPS MCC5.NBT.3 Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g. 347.392 = 3 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 7 x 1 + 3 x (1/10) + 9 x (1/100) + 2 x (1/1000). b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons. Enduring Understanding(s): Students will be able to... Read and write decimals to the thousandths place value using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form with 100% accuracy. Compare decimals to the thousandths place value using >, =, and < symbols with 100% accuracy. Students will know(Knowledge) Read and write decimals to the thousandths place value using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare decimals to the thousandths place value using >, =, and < symbols. Essential Question(s):

Students will be able to (Skills) Use Inspiration to create a concept map showing how to compare decimals.

Stage 2 Assessment Evidence

Performance Task(s): Goal: Compare decimals to the thousandths place value using >, =, and < symbols. Students will write decimals in expanded form to compare decimals. Students will use Inspiration to show how to compare decimal numbers to the thousandths place value. Other Evidence: Informal o Class discussions o Questions asked by the teacher o Teacher observation Formal o Inspiration concept map

Students will compare decimals to the thousandths place.

Stage 3 Learning Plan

Learning Activities:
Engage The teacher will review place values with students by giving students numbers and having them create a number by standing in front of the classroom. Elicit - The teacher will state what numbers need to be in which place values and students will create the desired number. Explore Students will be given a place value chart. Students will work with a partner to create the numbers describe to them using place values. Students will use cubes to represent the numbers in each place value and write the expanded form of the decimals based on their representations. Students will complete Decimal Garden to practice writing the standard form of the decimal and the fraction representation of the decimal. Explain The teacher will discuss how using the expanded form and place values help the students compare decimals. Elaborate & Extend The teacher will give students two decimals and have the students use their place value charts to help them compare the decimals. Evaluate - Students will create an Inspiration concept map showing how to compare decimals to the thousandths place. Students will show how to compare the decimals to the thousandths place using place values and expanded form.
