Do Now (Introduction)

Write down 4 numbers, each with 1 decimal place.

0.1   0.4   0.3   0.6

Add the first two decimals together

0.1 + 0.4    = 0.5

Now add the last two decimals together

0.3 + 0.6     = 0.9

Write down 2 numbers with 2 decimal places. The bigger decimal should be written first. Now subtract them.

0.42 - 0.30   = 0.12

Read all three answers to your neighbour (this is to reinforce a previous lesson on place value with decimals)

Write each of your Decimals above as Fractions and solve

1/10 + 4/10  = 5/10

3/10 + 6/10   = 9/10

42/100 - 30/100   121/00

What did you notice?

0.5 is the same as 5/10: we added the numerators, but kept the denominators the same

0.9 is the same as 9/10:  we added the numerators, but kept the denominators the same

0.12 is the same as 12/100 : we subtracted the numerators, but kept the denominators the same

Can we make a general rule when adding or subtracting fractions?

When fractions have the same denominator, we do 2 things: Firstly we add or subtract the numerators and secondly, we keep the denominator the same (level 3)

So what do you think happens when the denominators are DIFFERENT?

Do you think we could change the rules and add the denominators?

Learners explore addition of fractions when denominators are not the same

Teacher’s example can be used if learners need assistance and cannot self manage

1/3   +    2/6

Learners can use these  resource 1  and resource 2 to help them understand equivalent fractions

Contextual Class challenge

Tau eats ⅕ of a whole fish and Tia eats two thirds. How much of the fish is left?

Teacher provocation

Pick out the WHITE hat (important information) - Tau eats ⅕ and Tia eats ⅔

So what do we need to find if we use this information? How much fish was eaten

What mathematical knowledge do we need in order to solve this? Addition of fractions when denominators are different.

What do we need to do to solve the contextual challenge? Find out how much fish was left

How do we do that? Subtract

What word in the challenge gives you a hint to subtract? The word left

Do Now (Introduction)

Solve by using numbers and mathematical symbols

half of ten        ½ x 10 = 5

one quarter of twelve     ¼ x 12 =3

one fifth of twenty        ⅕ x 20 = 4

Can you explain your thinking for each answer?

ten divided by two or 10/2 = 5

twelve divided by four or  12/4 = 3

twenty divided by five or 20/5 = 4

How can you write the number 12 as a fraction

Learners discuss or check online until they come up with a solution of

121

Explain three quarters of 12, but rewrite 12 as a fraction

3/4 x 12/1

3 x 12 divided by 4  x 1 = 36/4 = 9

Can we make a general rule when multiplying fractions?

Multiply the numerators to get the top part of the fraction then multiply the denominators to get the bottom part of the fraction

Learners who immediately simplify 36/4 as 9 explain to their neighbour as to why they simplified the fraction

Find a Google image that reinforces your knowledge of multiplying fractions and explain

your learning to your neighbour.

Teacher provocation

Reread your general rule for multiplying fractions.

Multiply the numerators to get the top part of the fraction then multiply the denominators to get the bottom part of the fraction

Using this knowledge, can we say that when dividing fractions we divide the numerators to get the top part of the fraction and divide the denominators to get the bottom part of the fraction?

Learners guess either yes or no and are given time to explore online for the rules when dividing

fractions before an example is discussed

When dividing fractions, we go to KFC Keep, Flip, Change

KEEP first fraction

FLIP the fraction to the right of the division sign

CHANGE division to multiplication

Then use your rule “Multiply the numerators to get the top part of the fraction then multiply the denominators to get the bottom part of the fraction”

Example

2/7  ÷   3/4 becomes

Answer 2 x 4      =  8

            7 x 3         21

An additional challenge was done using 3 fractions to reinforce the learning that we Keep the first fraction, Flip the fractions to the right of the division sign and then Change division to multiplication

Do Now (Introduction)	Rearrange these letters “a decimal point” to explain what a decimal is. Use each letter only once and use all letters. Teacher reads the instruction aloud and answers any questions posed by learners Learners work independently and/or collaboratively as they work towards a possible solution I’m a dot in place
Lesson sequence	Rearrange given letters to better understand what a decimal point is If I gave you $500 would you be happy? Now along comes the decimal point and lands just after the number 5 to make $5.00, would you still be happy? Class discussion about the impact of the decimal point on the value of the money Answer question 1 and 2 to determine learners’ curriculum level Question 1. Four friends, Mele, Tui, Tevita and Anna can jump 3.1m, 3.15, 3.01 and 3.10m respectively. Arrange these distances in ascending order Teacher comment: When rearranging or comparing, decimals, look at the first digit, of each number: if they are similar, then look at and compare the next digit eg in 3.15 and 3.01 (1/10 is greater than 0/10 or 15/100 is greater than 1/100), so 3.15 is greater than 3.01 Thinking/discussion: When comparing 3.1 and 3.10 both can be read as having 1/10, so the two decimals are equal. Any zero after the decimal point that is not followed by another number is just a place-holder Question 2. Draw a number line (any length) from 0 to 1. Mark the middle and give it a decimal value. Keep finding the middle until you reach 3 decimal places. Use your learning outcomes table, from Mrs Dunn Maths site to determine the curriculum level for each Question (this is for learners to identify their learning needs) Teacher provocations How would you read this decimal 1.25? one and twenty- five hundredths one and two tenths and five hundredths one point two five not one point twenty five - Learners work independently and/or collaboratively Discuss how to read and compare decimals Explore learning using online resources Make learning visible by creating personalised notes documenting evidence of learners’ understanding of Decimals Teacher provides opportunities for learners to develop and demonstrate their thinking by discussing with peers and documenting on a Google doc. Teacher expectation is that of learners’ managing their learning. Learners self-manage by choosing the appropriate curriculum levels for the topic and can move on to the next level if they feel confident in their ability Learners show evidence of their thinking and learning by creating personalised notes after navigating the hyperlinked Decimals resources on Mrs Dunn Maths site All evidence of thinking/learning is visible on a Google document which is shared with the teacher and can also be shared with peers for commenting

Basic operations are used eg if ¼ cup of sugar, sometimes it is necessary to either double or halve the recipe.
Reflection	More emphasis needs to be placed on place value, particularly for numbers after the decimal point so that learners use words like tenths, hundredths and thousandths confidently. Using money as an example when learning about decimals is contradictory as $5.70 (five dollars seventy) is not read as five point seven zero dollars. There are no tens, hundreds and thousands after the decimal point; instead it is tenths, hundredths and thousandths

The cost of the trip was $80 per student. The group had a sausage sizzle to raise funds. They needed 8 loaves of bread. Elstree Dairy had bread for $2.20 each, but the owner gave them a 15% discount. Students also bought $50 worth of sausages. Onions and tomato sauce were donated by the Geek Cafe. Students sold 110 sausages for $1.50 each and then had a bake sale a few days later. All baked goods were donated and students made a profit of $250. Mrs Dunn offered to donate ⅕ of the amount raised at the bake sale.  How much would each student have to pay? Statement Working Answer (units) Total cost of trip $80 x 24 $1 920 Bread 8 x $2.20 $17.60 Bread discount 15/100 x $17.60 $2.64 Bread cost $17.60 - $2.64 $14.96 rounded $15 Bread + sausage cost $15 + $50 $65 Sausage sizzle $1.50 x 110 $165 Sausage sizzle profit $165 - $65 $100 Donation ⅕ x $250 $50 Bake sale + s sizzle + donation $250 + $100 + $50 $400 Total owing $1920 - $400 $1 520 Payment per student $1 520 / 24 $63.33 rounded $63.30 shortfall $1 520 - ($63.30 x 24) $0.40, so someone will have to pay an extra 40c
