Order decimal numbers (whole number plus tenths, e.g. 4.8) on a number line

Summary: Start with the increments of 10 and place the 0 and 100 at either ends of the number line. Then continue to place the rest of the numbers with the emphasis on equal spacing. Don�t take these cards down.�

Summary: The video shows how numbers are placed on a number line. It is scaffolded and starts with whole numbers before making the connection to tenths.
Guiding questions: Pause when each number line is almost full and ask students to identify the patterns that they notice. Then have them turn and talk to predict what number will be next.

Summary: Key in parameters to start at 0 and end at 1 and increase by increments of one hundredth

Summary: Place at least 2 metres of string up like a washing line. It must be able to hold multiple pegs/paper. This represents a numberline. Peg your representations up in order and accurately space them apart eg. 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 etc. Span your number line across at least 2 wholes. Strengthen understanding by including multiple representations e.g. decimal and picture. If you don't have pegs, you can use slips of paper that are folded in half to hang over the line. If students are not familiar with number lines, start with whole numbers first and then build up to decimals. Multiple washing lines can be strung up, one below the other, to show pictures, fractions, decimal numbers and percentages.

Summary: STORY - In q small village called Numberville, all the numbers lived peacefully on their number lines. The whole numbers had their own spaces, but in between them, there were mysterious places that the whole numbers couldn’t reach. These were the homes of the Decimal Detectives—small, brave numbers that lived between the whole numbers. One day, Detective Decimal, who lived between 0 and 1, noticed something strange. The Decimal Detective Squad, made up of numbers like 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3, realised they had an important mission: to help the other numbers understand how they fit on the number line. Detective Decimal decided to take the squad on an adventure. They started at the number 0 and moved towards 1, each one stepping forward one section at a time. As they moved, they counted their places out loud: Zero, one tenth, two tenths and so on until they reached "ten tenths," which they know is equal to 1 whole. Students label their number line with correct tenths. Decimal Number Line Setup:
Provide each student with a blank number line marked with 0 on one end and 1 on the other.
The number line should be divided into 10 equal sections, but without the decimal numbers marked.

Summary: In the middle of the game board students will choose a target. E.g. 6.83. Using the dice, students will roll the dice. They can either choose to use the number within their decimal or they can throw it in the bin. Students only have two opportunities to throw the number in the bin otherwise they have to use it in their decimal. The partner who gets their decimal the closest to the target wins.
