Task 1
Before we can begin working on other tasks, we must first understand
place value and its definition.
What? You said place value means thousands? Well youre on the right
track. It doesnt ALWAYS mean thousands. Maybe it also means hundreds.
What do you think?
I think that place value is the value given to the place or position of a digit in
a number.
Here are few examples:
The place value of 6 in 6,934 is thousands
The place value of 5 in 523,089 is hundred thousands
The place value of 4 in 1035.743 is hundredths
I always find it helpful to use my handy dandy place value chart when
working with numbers. Maybe it would be useful for you to see where
youre placing your numbers too!
Task 2
Make a table of the toys Carly can buy and their price. You can use the one
below (or on the separate worksheet) or make a table of your own to
display your work.
Total:
Price of Item
$43.94
1) Does this mean that Carly will only purchase one item? Why or Why
not?

2) What about two items? Why or why not?

3) Is your solution the only possible answer? Explain.

**For number 3, if you said no, then youre correct! There are many
different ways to solve this problem.**
Now for a challenge, find a completely different way that Carly can
purchase different toys with the same amount of money. Again, you can
use the chart below (or on the separate worksheet) or use one of your
own that works for you.
Total:
Price of Item
$43.94
(HINT: Attach your trial and error scrap paper to this performance task in
order to remember how you got to your answer!)
Task 3
So, how can we take our knowledge of place value to the next step using
word problems? What we have learned in task 1 and task 2 is the
building blocks of place value that will only help you in the future dealing
with money and other aspects of life involving place value.
Now we are going to use what we know and learned to take place value
a step further using more complex word problems. Do you think youre
ready for the challenge? This is your last task so do your best!
In addition to selling toys, our amusement park also sells different types
of shoes. We have noticed that shoes are a high commodity at our park
and we sure do sell a lot of them.
We are going to say now that Carly has an infinite amount of money in
her pocket for this task.
Carly was thinking about buying a pair of all the shoes in the park store.
She is trying to figure out how much it would cost her to the neareset
tenth. About how much would the shoes cost her if she bought a pair of
each?
*Show your work on a separate sheet to remember how you got your
answer!
OK so we figured out how much it would cost Carly to the nearest tenth,
right? Well Carlys friend Cara saw the awesome shoes that she bought
at the park store and wanted them for herself! Cara wanted to know how
much money she should pull out to give to the cashier before going into
the store. If Cara wanted to pull out the money before, how much money
would she need if she is rounding to the nearest dollar?
What digit is in the hundreds place?

Task Analysis:
Teachers Edition
Grade
Level: 5th
Enduring Understandings:
It is extremely important for students to learn about place value early on in life. They will
be able to relate place value to their everyday lives in relation to using money and
buying things. Students will be able to understand the meaning of place value and will
be able to round decimals to any place. They will also be able to add decimals to
hundredths when completing tasks related to money. Students will have a better grasp
on the concept of place value after completing this performance task.
Essential Questions:
1. Where do we use place value in everyday life?
2. Why is place value important?
3. What if we didnt have place value?
4. How does the position of a digit in a number affect its value?
Student Outcomes:
Involving Differentiation
It is a teachers job to understand that all students have different learning needs
and strategies that help them succeed in school. This performance task could be
presented differently for those who need extra supports. Those with IEPs will
have the opportunity to work with a partner, or with a teacher if need be.
Performance tasks are made to be flexible in order to suit the needs of the
learners and can be changed to do so.
