Representation routine

Read the model before the symbols.

Name the target place, use the digit to its right when rounding, and preserve every other place correctly.

Model focusRead, compare, and round decimals through the thousandths place using place-value relationships.
  1. 01

    Identify what each mark, part, or interval represents.

  2. 02

    Connect the representation to an equation or number statement.

  3. 03

    Use both forms to explain why the answer is reasonable.

01Problem

Compare the decimals. Write <, >, or =: 277.808 ___ 479.238

03 · Check

Name the target place, use the digit to its right when rounding, and preserve every other place correctly. This example supports the page objective: Read, compare, and round decimals through the thousandths place using place-value relationships.

Teacher sequence

Introduce, model, practice, inspect

Move through the sequence vertically. Each step has a distinct classroom decision rather than a hidden swipe panel.

  1. Introduce

    Set one visible purpose

    • Read each number aloud and identify the value, not only the name, of a digit. For this decimal place value and rounding set, begin without a timer.
  2. Model

    Demonstrate the model-to-symbol connection

    • Name the target place, use the digit to its right when rounding, and preserve every other place correctly.
  3. Practice

    Assign the focused set

    • Use expanded form to make regrouping and rounding decisions visible. Regenerate only when the learner is ready for another arrangement of the same objective.
  4. Inspect

    Use errors to choose the next move

    • Naming a digit's position but not its value. Watch for this specifically during decimal place value and rounding practice.
    • Rounding from the wrong neighboring digit. Use the worked correction as the next teaching example.
