Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 30 to 45 minute independent or partner review after a unit on decimal operations and fraction division, or as a homework check-in.
- Discussion question: Why do we line up decimal points before adding, and how does the added zero in the worked example help? Another: In Problem 4, why does the answer need to be rounded down rather than up?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them work through the worked example aloud first, then solve Problem 1 with a place-value chart or graph paper before attempting the remaining problems.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to write their own word problem involving a decimal division or fraction division, then trade with a partner and solve each other's problems.
- Estimated time: about 5 minutes to review the example and 20 to 30 minutes for the problems, with the lined space providing room for full written work.
