WOW... I teach 5th grade, and with the new Common Core State Standards, my district got a new math curriculum. WOW. It's a lot more rigorous than what I used previously. I was expecting this, but I wasn't prepared.
Anyway, the firs topic I teach is decimal place value. Here's a set of Decimal Place Value I Have, Who Has Games that I created to use for math centers, extra practice, and to strengthen skills. It's definitely not just skill and drill stuff. It requires students to:
- identify decimal numbers through thousandths when given a specific digit
- name decimal numbers through thousandths
- tell the values of digits in decimal numbers
- apply number sense when adding and subtracting decimal amounts
- use mental math
These are great for whole class, small group, centers, or homework practice. Teacher notes, directions, and answer keys are all included. I hope your students enjoy it as much as mine have!
