13. Good job now we know which

numbers.

14. First, line up your decimal point. So,

that both numbers end up in the same
place value place.

15. Subtract the digit in the same place

value position. Then bring the decimal
point straight down in the difference.

17. Then teacher will write question on

the board (5.6 -3.5). Then she will use
class dojo to select random students to
solve it.

classroom to observe the students

Differentiation activities (Support) Canter activities

Master Students:

o Students will have A3 place value chart, Base ten blocks and cards that have different questions.
 o Students will have to use the base ten blocks to represent the question on the place value chart.
o Then, they will different cards that contain questions about subtracting decimal numbers.
o The students have to pick a card. Then they have to represent both of the numbers in the place
value chart using base ten blocks
o Then they will have to solve the question. While rearranging the base ten blocks.

Developing students:

o Students will have to throw a dice and create two numbers.

o Then they have to use base ten blocks to help them represent the question
o After that students must swap the question that the created between each other in the group.
o Then they have to solve each other questions.
o Finally, they will swap again to correct each other answers.

Emerging students:

o Students will have a chart to help them organize the numbers before they start to subtract the
decimal numbers.
o Each student will have a chart.
o Students have to read the question. Then they have to follow each step to solve the question
o After that, they have to record their answers in the answer sheet.
o Finally, the students who have the most correct answer will get class dojo points

Assessment Teacher will use four corners strategy. This technique stimulates students learn
Strategies:
through movement and discussion. In each of the four corners of the classroom, an
opinion or response is posted. Students will express their opinion or response by
standing in front of one of four statements, and then talking to others about why they
have chosen their corner. This strategy will help the students develop different skills
such as: listening, verbal communication, critical thinking and decision making.
