Decimals Activity Pack

 A Note to the teacher
Thank You For Your Purchase!

I hope you and your students enjoy these activities as much as my

students have. They always love shopping,—boys and girls alike!
The activities have been bundled in the order in which I typically use them. I begin with
rounding, move to front-end estimation (or teach them simultaneously), then to adding and
subtracting. I made a class set of the shopping cards by printing them (they print in both color
and b&w just fine), then cutting and laminating them and using them year after year. You can
also just print off the page. Finally, I let the kids have a day or two to complete the summative.
All you need for the summative is catalogs with items to buy. Clothing catalogs, school supply
catalogs, etc. are perfect.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at teachingwithamountainview@gmail.com.

Thank you again for your purchase.

Please Note: Your purchase entitles you to use this product in one classroom.
If you love it, please share a link to my site with your colleagues.

Assessment
 
In your life, whether you are deciding how much gas you can afford to
buy, how much money you have to spend on groceries, or how many
shirts you can buy with your babysitting allowance, decimals will always
be an integral part!

Even though you may not have to make those decisions right now, you
do have several very important decisions to make today, for you have
just had $200.00 bestowed upon you. You have also been given the
freedom to choose what you do with that $200.00. BUT WAIT! Life is
never that simple, now, is it? You have to spend at least $195.25, and
you have to show your work about how you figured out what to buy!
Follow these steps to ensure your success:
 
Step 1: Look through the catalogs and decide what you want to buy.

Step 2: Write the total current balance on the top of the worksheet
(Remember, you are starting with $200). Cut out the picture of the
item, glue it onto the worksheet and label the price of each item.

Step 3: Add up the price of the three items on that page.

Step 4: Subtract the total price of those items from the current
balance.

Step 5: Check your work by adding the current balance number to

the total of the items of the current page.
 
Step 6: Using a new worksheet page, repeat the steps again, writing
the new balance on the top of the sheet. Complete a new worksheet
for every three items until your balance reaches the minimum amount.

Multiplying

Common Core Activity

© 2012 Teaching With a Mountain View  

Thank you for your Purchase!
I know your students will love putting their decimal skills to the test with
this fun and engaging project. Students need to have a solid foundation in
adding and subtracting decimals before beginning this project.

Check out my Adding and Subtracting Decimals Packet Here

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Adding-Subtracting-Estimating-Decimals-Packet-Differentiated-and-Common-Core

Included in the packet you will find the following:

3 Menus: Snack Shack, Bake Sale, and Candy Corner (I suggest printing
and laminating. These print beautifully in color, but great in black and
white as well)

3 Corresponding Worksheets for EACH Menu: There is a Multiplying

Decimals, Dividing Decimals, and Multiplying and Dividing Decimals
worksheet to accompany each menu.

You can use all the materials together in one packet or spread them out
over time for review. Work space has been provided, but students may
need to use scratch paper. The extension possibilities for these menus are
endless! HAVE FUN!

*I recommend completing Snack Shack and Candy Corner before Bake Sale.*
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at teachingwithamountainview@gmail.com .

I have many, many more math projects and task cards at my TpT Store. Come take a look!
