Review Unit: Place Value

After fractions I like to work on place value because many of the students have forgotten the vocabulary. I work on place value to get the students ready for the 7th grade lessons about percents and converting between fractions and decimals. If they know the vocabulary ahead of time it makes teaching those lessons much easier. The awesome foldables on the second page of my INB were found here. I spent two days on this lesson, the second day I focused a lot on rounding to certain place values. After we reviewed the notes, I put them in pairs to do a Rounding Decimals Matching  activity. It made them really thinks about the different place values and forced them to get a little organized.

 

The "I Can" statement with this activity is:

I can write numbers in word, picture, standard and expanded form.

 

The IXL Lessons with this activity are:

D.1: Decimal Numbers Review

D.4: Round Decimals
