⭐ HOW DOES THIS RESOURCE WORK?

Before the Lesson:

• Make sure every student has a pencil and a blank sheet of paper.
• Students will have opportunities to have discussions with other students. You can have students sitting together in a group or they can sit at their desks and discuss with other students that sit near them.
• Brain breaks require students to stand and move around the room.
• Choose whether you want to use the PowerPoint or Google Slides version of the presentation.

During the Lesson:

• Click through the slides at a pace appropriate for your students.
• You can read the text out loud or select students to do the reading.
• During Turn and Talks and written response times, monitor your students to make sure they are on task. You’ll need to decide when it’s time to move on to the next part of the presentation.
• All students should be engaged during the written response portions.

The presentation slides include 4 icons that will show students when they can raise their hands, discuss their thoughts with a friend, take notes, complete practice problems, and even take a quick brain break. There are very few animations so that the presentation is easy to implement, even if the teacher hasn’t looked over it beforehand.

After the Lesson:

• Comparing Decimals can be a challenging skill to master. If your students need more practice, consider purchasing our Comparing Decimals Math Kit that has everything you need!
