- Each student will need a sheet of scratch paper for working out the problems. 

Remember- At the end of class all students must turn in their own scratch paper showing their work throughout the activity.]]> 2019-10-11 17:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396812920 fenna080 https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396814847 2019-10-11 17:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396814847 fenna080 https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396815782 -I want each group to randomly place their fall stickers on five different decimals in the activity.
-Second, you will need to add together the largest three decimals selected, lets find out who has the largest decimal!
-Now as a group, I want you to add all five of your decimals selected together and right them down on your pumpkin card.
-As a class, let's arrange each pumpkin card from each group from smallest to largest.
- The group with the largest decimal will pick from the pumpkin patch first and then we will go in descending group order.]]> 2019-10-11 17:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396815782 fenna080 https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396820779 After your activity worksheet and individual scratch papers are turned in, each group will decorate their pumpkin and include the decimal they ended with.]]> 2019-10-11 18:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396820779 fenna080 https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396827649  The Decimal number system is also called HINDU-ARABIC, or ARABIC, or base 10 system. Mathematics commonly uses a positional numeral system employing 10 as the base and requiring 10 different numerals, the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and a dot (decimal point). 
 
An example of how the Chinese used the decimal system may be seen in an inscription from the thirteenth century BC, in which '547 days' is written 'Five hundred plus four decades plus seven of days'. ]]> 2019-10-11 18:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396827649 fenna080 https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396834478 SMP 1

For example: when your parents give you an allowance and tell you you can spend half of it on a new toy but the other half has to be saved. If your parents give you $21 dollars a month, how much can you spend on a toy? Take half of the $21 and that would be $10.50. So when your looking for a toy you have to pay attention to what the toys your looking at cost. Don't forget to account for the tax at the end (unless you live in Alaska). Pretty cool right. Money is one of the many ways we interact with decimals on a daily basis.  ]]> 2019-10-11 18:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396840374 fenna080 https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396845524 2019-10-11 18:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396845524 fenna080 https://padlet.com/fenna080/xnhhfkatofyj/wish/396847325 Great job on these activities!
