Comparing and Ordering Decimals
After our adventure in singing the Beverly Hillbilly song we moved on to comparing and ordering decimals. This lesson was introduced by using this power point I found online, and changed a little to meet our class needs. Compare and Order Decimals powerpoint
After reviewing the power point and practicing on our white boards, I then gave each student a tiny t-shirt (t-shirt) and had them draw a number out of basket. They then wrote their number on the middle of the t-shirt, colored it, and cut it out. At their table groups the students compared and ordered them based on the instructions I gave. Finally, the entire class ordered their t-shirts at the back of the classroom. As you can imagine it got more difficult as the day went on. By 4th and 5th period, they were trying to order their numbers (that went through the thousandths place) in with over 70 shirts.
