Lesson Sequence:
1) The teacher will ask the class to take out their math notes. The teacher will then ask what are the rules of rounding? The teacher will call on a student to answer the question. 2) The teacher will then have the students take out their whiteboards and their rounding worksheets. The teacher will have the students write the number on their white boards. They will then round to the appropriate place that the teacher tells them to. They will fill in the right answers on their worksheet. 3) After completing two rows of the worksheet the teacher will explain the different centers they will be doing and the teacher will model what is expected of the students. The teacher will then split the class up into four groups. (already predetermined) 4) The four groups will go to different centers. One group will be working on the rounding worksheet with Ms. Feher one group will be completing a worksheet with Mrs. Klouse and the two other groups will be playing games. The centers will rotate every fifteen minutes. Expanding Decimals: The object of this center is to take a decimal and write it in expanded form. The student take a baggy of numbers and a worksheet that is already premade and they pick random numbers from the bag and line them up on their worksheet. They will flip the numbers over and write out their decimal number. They will then take that number and write it in expanded form. Ms. Fehers group (Rounding Decimals): This group will be finishing their rounding worksheet on their white boards. Depending on the group will determine how fast we complete it. If a group finishes before the fifteen minutes there will be a more challenging worksheet available for them. Hunt for Decimals (Battleship inspired): The object of this game is to work on reading decimals properly. Students will have a worksheet that has a grid of numbers. The students will be in partners. Both partners will pick 5 numbers and circle them on their worksheet. Its important to not show your partner which numbers you have circled. The students will take turns guessing numbers and if they guess a number their partner has circled that partner will say hit. Once they have hit all five of their targets they have won the game. If the students do not say the number correctly the partner doesnt have to tell them if they have been hit or not.

Mrs. Klouses group: This group will be working on a standards based assessments worksheet that will be a review for their test. This worksheet covers many different topics and she will help students when needed. 5) The teacher will then go over the homework that they will complete.

Accommodations:
The teacher will have a worksheet available for higher students if needed. The teacher will review concepts if students are struggling.

Materials and Resources:

Rounding worksheet, hunt for decimals worksheet, expanding decimals worksheet, standards based assessments worksheet, number baggies, white board, whiteboard markers, pencils, elmo

Review/Assessment:
The teacher will assess the students when they are working with their whiteboards. The teacher will also informally assess when working with them in small groups. The teacher will collect all worksheets and look over them. The teacher will give an overall review test for homework.
