Planning notes for this lesson
Prerequisite skills to check: place value in whole numbers (4.NBT.A); decimal notation for tenths and hundredths (4.NF.C.6); comparing decimals to hundredths (4.NF.C.7); multi-digit addition and subtraction with regrouping (4.NBT.B.4).
Key vocabulary: decimal point, tenths, hundredths, place value, regroup, estimate.
Warm-up idea: Hand out a pretend receipt with two prices, such as $3.45 and $2.80, and ask students to estimate the total before they add.
Exit ticket idea: Students solve 4.6 + 2.35 and 5 - 1.28, show how they lined up the place values, and use an estimate to check each answer.
Always check the AI's plan and answers before you teach.
