INTRODUCTION TO DECIMALS

–        Every digit in a number has a place value.

–        Place value can be defined as the value represented by a digit in a number on the basis of its position in the number.

–        Place value columns to the right of the decimal point are decimals and part of a whole.

–        We will be learning about tenths, hundredths and thousandths.

–        We can represent decimals as a fraction.

–        When we compare numbers, we must compare each place value of both numbers.

o   What are you excited to do when lockdown is over?

o   Which friends/family do you miss and what do you miss doing with them?

–        Read through it and try to memorize it and practice how to you will say things

–        Do a practice round where you time yourself

LESSON 2:

–        You are now going to record yourself (or someone in your family can record you)

–        Once you start recording, do not read from your piece of paper but you can use it to peek at if you forget what you were going to say

–        Speak with confidence, make eye contact, have good posture, use expression in your voice, be captivating, have fun!

Activity: Bite the Bag

This is a “Minute to Win It” game.  Your goal will be to pick up a paper bag (or cardboard box) with your mouth.  You can only let your feet touch the floor – no hands, knees, etc.

Details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8pJD_UCBX8

CHANGE FROM VIDEO – I suggest instead of having multiple bags, simply have one bag/box and cut off the level that you were able to bite, and then try again.  You will slowly go lower and lower down the bag/box.

Feel free to post a photo or video on Seesaw with the lowest level you reached (Please include the measurement, such as “My lowest level was 7 inches!”) Then I will announce who reached the lowest level in the class on April 17.  Have fun competing!

*If you want a challenge, try doing the competition it on one foot!

Paper bag or cardboard box (i.e. cereal box)  *both should be able to be destroyed
