Dividing Decimals By Multiples Of Tens, Hundreds, And Thousands Lesson Plan for 5th Grade Example Students

Topic: Dividing Decimals by Multiples of Tens, Hundreds, and Thousands

Objectives & Outcomes

• Students will be able to divide decimals by multiples of tens, hundreds, and thousands.

Materials

• Calculator
• Handouts with practice problems

Warm-up

• Ask the students if they know how to divide a number by a single digit number, such as dividing 21 by 3. They should answer 7, because 21 divided by 3 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
• Ask the students if they know how to divide a number by a decimal, such as dividing 0.2 by 3. They should answer 0.6, because 0.2 divided by 3 is 0.6 with a remainder of 0.4.

Direct Instruction

• Explain that when dividing a decimal by a multiple of ten, hundred, or thousand, the result will be a decimal with a 0 before the decimal point. For example, when we divide 0.2 by 20, the result is 0.02 with a 0 before the decimal point.
• Explain that when dividing a decimal by a multiple of ten, hundred, or thousand, the result will have the same number of digits after the decimal point as the original number. For example, when we divide 0.2 by 20, the result is 0.02, which has two digits after the decimal point (0 and 2).
• Explain that when dividing a decimal by a multiple of ten, hundred, or thousand, the result will have the same number of digits before the decimal point as the original number. For example, when we divide 0.2 by 20, the result is 0.02, which has two digits before the decimal point (0 and 2).

Guided Practice

• Provide students with problems to solve on their own, step by step, with guidance and support if needed. Example:
• Provide students with problems to solve in pairs or small groups, with guidance and support if needed. Example:

Closure: Review the concept of dividing decimals by multiples of 10, 100, and 1000 and have the students share one thing they learned about dividing decimals.

Assessment: Observe the students during the guided practice and independent practice activities to assess their understanding of the concept. Review the students' work for accuracy and completion.
