Lesson 1-3-08 Adding like decimals
Purpose: students will add like decimals using decimal tabs
Instructions:
- Hand out decimal tabs and review like decimals
- Have students with like decimal tabs get up and add their amounts (do not worry if the answer is an improper fraction)
- have the students practice with each other.
- Why does it have to be like fractions? Have two unlike fractions add up and see what we get. Does it match its answer card? No (set cards up before hand i.e. ½ + 3/4 find the the 4/6 card and match. It doesn’t work)
- Review and hand out worksheet.
