Slide 13:
How is the volume of water consumption computed?
To find the electric consumption: Present reading minus previous reading

Estimating With Decimals - Interactive Math Lesson

Lesson: Estimating With Decimals
Objective: Estimate sums of decimals
Grade: 5-6
File: Interactive Powerpoint Presentation and pdf

Contents Summary:

Review on Rounding decimal numbers:
-Identify the place you are rounding to, and place a circle around it.
-Check the digit to the right.  If it is more than or equal to 5, then the number in the circle increases by one.  If it is less than 5, then the number in the circle stays the same.
-Keep everything before the circle.  Everything after the circle becomes zero.  If the zeroes come at the end of a decimal, they can be dropped.

Different strategies in estimating decimals:
1. Estimating to the nearest whole number - Round to the ones place, and drop the decimal part of your number.
2. Front end Estimation - a. Add the “front-end” digits, ignoring the decimals. b. Estimate the decimals. c. Add the decimal estimate to the front-end sum.
3. Estimating Using Rounding - Round each decimal to a designated place value, then add to estimate the sum.

More examples are in the presentation.

Divisibility Rules - Interactive Math Lesson (Powerpoint)

Divisibility Rules
File:  Interactive lesson (Pptx)
Subject: Mathematics
Lesson: Divisibility Rules
Grade Level: 5-6

Dividing by 1:
All numbers are divisible by 1.

Divisible by 2:
All even numbers are divisible by 2.
Even numbers are numbers that end with either 2, 4, 6, 8, or 0.

Divisible by 3:
Add up the digits of the number.
If that number is divisible by 3, then the original number is.
If your sum is still a big number, continue to add the digits.

Dividing by 4:
If the last 2 digits together are divisible by 4.

Dividing by 5:
If the number ends in 5 or 0.

Dividing by 6:
If the number is divisible by 2 and 3.

Divisible by 7:
There is no specific rule. It can be done through manual division.

Divisible by 8:
If the last three digits are divisible by 8.
If the number is divisible by 2, then by 2 again, and then by 2 again.

Divisible by 9;
The same as dividing by 3.
Add up all the digits.
If that number is divisible by 9 then it is divisible by 9.

Dividing by 10:
If the number ends with a 0.

Grade: 6

Things to Do in Dividing a Decimal by a Whole Number
1. Place the decimal point in the quotient directly above the decimal point in the dividend.
2. Divide as you normally would (DMSBR)
Divide
Multiply
Subtract
Bring down
Repeat or Remainder

Dividing a Decimal by a Decimal
1. Move the decimal point in the divisor to the right, until you get to the end of the digits.
2. Count how many places you moved that decimal.
3. Move the decimal point in the dividend the same number of places to the right that you moved the decimal point in the divisor.

Interactive Math Lesson - Multiplying Decimals Up to the Hundredths Place

File:  Smartboard's Interactive Math Lesson - Multiplying Decimals (notebook file)
Subject: Mathematics
Lesson: Multiplying Decimals Up to the Hundredths Place
Grade Level: 5-6
Objectives:
1. Multiply decimals using models.
2. Multiply whole numbers by decimals
3. Multiply decimals up to the hundredths place

How to Multiply Decimals:
Multiplying  when one or more of the factors is a decimal number is like multiplying with whole numbers.
The number of decimal places in the product is equal to the sum of the number of decimal places in the factors.

Interactive Whiteboard Lesson - Comparing and Ordering Decimals

Comparing and Ordering Decimals
Interactive Whiteboard Lesson
Resource type: SMART Notebook lesson
Subject: Mathematics
Grade: Grade 5,  Grade 6

Comparing Decimals
If there are two decimal numbers we can compare them.  One number is either greater than, less than or equal to the other number.
Therefore, when decimals are compared start with tenths place and then hundredths place, etc. If one decimal has a higher number in the tenths place then it is larger than a decimal with fewer tenths. If the tenths are equal compare the hundredths, then the thousandths etc. until one decimal is larger or there are no more places to compare. If each decimal place value is the same then the decimals are equal.

Ordering Decimals
We can order decimals from least to greatest or we can order from greatest to least.
Let’s try an example:

Order 12, 13.8, 12.65, and 12.01 from least to greatest.

First, line up the decimal points.
Next, annex zeros so that each number has the same number of decimal places
Finally, use place value to compare the decimals. Always start from the left.
So, the answer is 12, 12.01, 12.65, 1nd 13.8

Math Game: Division by One Digit Divisor - Interactive Whiteboard

Parts of a division problem?
The dividend is the number you are dividing
The divisor is the number you are dividing by
The quotient is the evenly divided result
The remainder is what is left over that cannot be evenly divided

How do you solve a division problem?
1. Find the multiple of the divisor that comes closest to that number, without going higher.
Use your knowledge of math facts, or a multiplication grid.
2. Multiply the number that is the factor that you found times the divisor.
3. subtract the number you got by multiplying the divisor, from the number in the dividend.
The difference must be smaller than the divisor.
4. bring down the next number, from the number in the dividend.
5. Repeat the process for the ten's.
