Standards:

MGSE5.NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as
much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its
left.
MGSE5.NBT.3 Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths.
a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and
expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 x 100 + 4 x 10 + 7 x 1 + 3 x (1/10) + 9 x (1/100) + 2 x
(1/1000).
b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place,
using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
MGSE5.NBT.4 Use place value understanding to round decimals up to the hundredths place
MGSE5.NBT.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models
or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship
between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the
reasoning used. (NOTE: Addition and subtraction are taught in this unit, but the standard is
continued in Unit 3: Multiplication and Division with Decimals.)

Students will be strategically grouped according to ability levels. The teacher will assist students
who need more help. Students will move at their own pace and will check in with teacher.
Teacher sets due dates but these are flexible based on the needs of the students.

Highlighted activities require technology. All students must do at least 2 technology-based

activities during the unit.

Students will watch an instructional video, complete an activity, then complete a formative
assessment to see if they can go on to the next skill. Students who do not get an 80% or higher
will have to go back to the start of that skill. They will then watch another video, do a different
activity, and retake the formative assessment.
