Your students will be able to divide decimal numbers by powers of 10 and explain decimal placement patterns in the quotient.

Help your students discover patterns when multiplying by five.

Emphasize student understanding and reasoning! This lesson plan helps learners solve story problems using sense-making strategies. This can be used alongside the lesson Solving Word Problems or as a stand-alone lesson.
