This number sense lesson focuses on comparing decimal numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students line up the decimal numbers by place value. Then, they compare each digit (starting from the left) and if they have the same value, move to the place value to the right. If they have a different value, determine which digit has greater value. Finally, students complete the number sentence. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on ordering decimal numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and line up the decimal numbers by place value. Then, they compare each digit (starting from the left) and if they have the same value, move to the place value to the right. If they have a different value, determine which digit has the least or greatest value. Finally, students order the decimal numbers. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on identifying decimal numbers on a number line. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students determine which two whole numbers the decimal number is between the number line, and locate the point between the whole numbers. Then, they label the correct decimal, if needed. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on estimating the sum of decimals to two places. The lesson includes research-based strategies and questions that help prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students round all numbers to the nearest whole number, and rewrite the addition problem using the rounded values. Then, they add the rounded numbers. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on computing a percent of a whole number. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the problem and identify the percent. Then, they compute the percent of the whole number by finding the decimal form of the percent and multiplying the whole number by the decimal form. Finally, they interpret the percent of the whole number. In addition to the lesson, there are five pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on dividing decimal numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students change the problem into long division form, if necessary, and move the decimal point in the divisor to change it to a whole number, if necessary. Then, move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places. Finally, they divide the decimal numbers and put a decimal point in the quotient above the decimal point in the dividend. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items and eight flash cards on changing to long division form.

This number sense lesson focuses on multiplying decimal numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students multiply the bottom factor with each digit of the top factor, regrouping if needed. Then, they count the total number of decimal places in the two factors and place a decimal in the product that many places to the left. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on subtracting decimal numbers. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students identify the numbers that are being subtracted, if needed. Then, they line up the decimal numbers by place value, making sure the decimal points line up. Finally, they subtract, line up the decimal point in the difference, and interpret the difference. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number sense lesson focuses on identifying decimals on a number line. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and identify which whole numbers the decimal is more than and less than. They do that by locating the closest point that is between those whole numbers. finally, they circle the correct answer. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This number and operations--fractions lesson teaches students how to subtract fractions with unlike denominators. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students create equivalent fractions to subtract fractions with unlike denominators. Reducing the results is not addressed. This lesson focuses on unlike denominators that require both fractions to be changed.

This number sense lesson focuses on showing common decimal numbers as percents. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the question and change the decimal number into a fraction with a denominator of 100 using a place value chart. Then, they change the fraction into a percent and interpret the result. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages of Independent Practice and Periodic Reviews with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This lesson addresses fraction multiplication at the fluency level.

This lesson focuses on the fluency of dividing a unit fraction by a whole number. Although the purpose of the lesson is to teach the process, there are opportunities for students to conceptually examine, read, and write about the structure of a unit fraction being divided by a whole number.

This fractions word problems lesson covers the meaning of fraction multiplication. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for common assessments and performance tasks. In this lesson, students will read multiplication word problems and draw models to understand what it means to find a fraction of a fraction.
