Decimal Place Value and Rounding Slides for Grade 5
A slide deck of about 10 to 15 slides that teaches decimal place value through thousandths, comparing decimals, and rounding to any place. It builds number sense and mathematical reasoning through a Which One Doesn't Belong hook, think-pair-share turns, and eliciting questions, and it is designed for a whole-class lesson of roughly 45 minutes.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a whole-class lesson in the first part of a decimal unit, moving through the slides in order so the gradual release arc (hook, teacher modeling, guided practice, independent work) unfolds naturally.
- Open with the Which One Doesn't Belong slide (0.5, 0.05, 0.50, 0.050): ask students, "Why might 0.05 not belong with the others?" and let them defend different reasons, since several answers are valid.
- Follow the turn-and-talk prompts by asking, "How do you know which digit is in the tenths place?" and "What changes when we move a digit one place to the right?" to surface place value language.
- Scaffold for struggling readers by providing a place value chart with headers for ones, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths, and by reading each number aloud with students before they compare.
- Extend for advanced students by asking them to create their own Which One Doesn't Belong set using decimals to the thousandths, or to explain why rounding 3.4951 to the nearest hundredth gives 3.50 rather than 3.49.
- Plan roughly 45 minutes total: about 5 minutes for the hook, 25 minutes for slides and turn-and-talks, and 15 minutes for a short independent check at the end.
