Vocabulary equivalent decimals Interactive Student Edition Multimedia Glossary e Vocabulary Builder Materials Word Description (see eteacher Resources) Guess the Meaning Review the meaning of equivalent fractions with students, and use that review as a springboard to discuss the new vocabulary word, equivalent decimals Then have students complete the sections of the Word Description for the word equivalent decimals ENGAGE with the Interactive Student Edition Essential Question How can you record tenths and hundredths as fractions and decimals? Making Connections Ask students to tell what they know about fraction models How can you represent the fraction 4 with a fraction model? Check students models Learning Activity What is the problem the students are trying to solve? Connect the story to the problem Ask the following questions What denominator would you use to represent the decimal 5 as a fraction? Explain Possible answer: because the decimal is five tenths What denominator would you use to represent the decimal as a fraction?

Discuss with students that since has a in the hundredths place, an equivalent tenths decimal can be written for it Another Way How do you know what denominator to use when writing as a fraction? Possible answer: means hundredths, so is the denominator of the equivalent fraction Why do you divide by? Possible answer: I divide by because I need to show the answer in tenths, not hundredths Dividing by is the same as dividing by, so it does not change the value MP Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others Suppose Jasmine had collected liter of water Could you answer the question the problem asks? Use equivalent fractions to support your answer Possible answer: no; = ; to write an equivalent fraction with the denominator, you need to divide the numerator and denominator by cannot be evenly divided by EXPLAIN MATH Share and Show MATH BOARD The first problem connects to the learning model Have students use the MathBoard to explain their thinking Advanced Advanced Learners Learners Materials Decimal Models (see eteacher Resources) Students work in pairs One student uses either a tenths or a hundredths decimal model and shades or more columns of the model The student then writes a fraction to represent the shaded part of the model The partner then names the shaded part of the model in three other ways: using an equivalent fraction and by writing two equivalent decimals Partners compare the answers to the model, and then trade roles and repeat the activity as time allows Kinesthetic / Visual Partners,, and COMMON ERRORS Error Students may write a zero in the tenths place rather than the hundredths place when writing an equivalent decimal Example 7 = 7 Springboard to Learning Model 7 and 7 using decimal models to illustrate that they are different decimals Recommend that students continue to use decimal models to either find equivalent decimals or to check their work Lesson 9 58
