Grade: 6
Number of pupils: 24
Number of boys: 6
Number of girls: 18
Age: 11-12
Time: 10:30 – 11:10
Objectives: At the end of this lesson students should be able to:
Knowledge
Identify decimal numbers
Place value of decimal numbers up to the tenths place
Explain different features of the decimal number
Skill
Place numbers in the correct column in the place value chart
Attitudes
Understand the significant of decimal numbers
Previous Knowledge: students should have been exposed to fractions in particular the tenths
Instructional Materials: rectangle divided into 10 equal pieces, place value chart
Introduction: Draw a rectangle on the board and split it into ten sections. Ask a child how we can label each section of the rectangle (i.e. 1/10). Write 1/10 in each section...
1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10
Procedure:
• Teacher will colour some of the rectangles. For example,
1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10 1/10
Ask students what fraction of the rectangle has been shaded. That is 3/10. Elicit from students another way of writing this fraction. That is 0. 3 which means no unit and three tenths.
• Allow children to give reasons why they might use decimal numbers. That is, it is use to give exact amounts of quantities that may not be whole. It is use to give continuous quantities, for example, height
• Present decimal chart and have an individual student place numbers in the correct column. Have students explain the features of the notation:
o The dot in between the 0 and the 3 is called the DECIMAL POINT and we use it to separate the units from the tenths.
o We always write in the 0 before the decimal point because it reminds us that the whole number is less than one.
o We say this number as "naught point three" or "zero point three".
Closure:
Teacher will call on individual students to place numbers in the correct column on the decimal chart.
Application:
Write these fractions in decimal forms
