- Grade:
- 5
- Subject:
- Math
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.
