Lesson 3

Milésimas en forma desarrollada

Warm-up: Cuál es diferente: Distintas maneras de expresar un número decimal (10 minutes)

Narrative

This warm-up prompts students to compare four expressions. The particular expressions chosen give students a chance to focus on several important features, including:

  • the operations
  • the values of the expressions
  • the types of numbers in the expressions (whole numbers versus decimals)

Students work in this lesson to express decimals in many different forms, and this warm-up gives students some familiarity thinking about some of those different forms. 

Launch

  • Groups of 2
  • Display the image.
  • “Escojan una que sea diferente. Prepárense para compartir por qué es diferente” // “Pick one that doesn’t belong. Be ready to share why it doesn’t belong.”
  • 1 minute: quiet think time

Activity

  • “Discutan con su compañero cómo pensaron” // “Discuss your thinking with your partner.”
  • 2–3 minutes: partner discussion
  • Share and record responses.

  • Display the expression: \(2 \times 0.1 + 6 \times 0.01\)
  • “¿En qué se diferencia esta expresión de las demás?” // “How is this expression different from the others?” (It is written as a sum. The different place values are written separately.)
  • “Hoy vamos a representar números decimales de esta manera” // “Today we are going to represent decimal numbers in this way.”

Activity 1: Forma desarrollada (20 minutes)

Narrative

In a previous course, students multiplied a decimal fraction by a whole number. In previous lessons, students wrote decimal fractions in decimal form. The purpose of this activity is for students to use expanded form of a decimal number to the thousandth. Students relate expanded form to both diagrams and decimal numbers. The expanded form of a decimal number highlights the value of each digit. For the number 0.835, for example, the 8 represents 8 tenths. This is shown in expanded form by writing the \(0.8\) as \(8 \times 0.1\). Students practice relating decimals, diagrams, and expanded form and then are formally introduced to the term expanded form, as it applies to decimals, in the activity synthesis (MP2). The notation of expanded form is a generalization of what students saw in a previous grade with whole numbers.

  • Display the diagram from the student workbook that shows \(0.835\).
  • Consider circling each part of the diagram as students respond to the questions.
  • “¿Qué parte del diagrama muestra \(8 \times 0.1\)? ¿Cómo lo saben?” // “What part of the diagram shows \(8 \times 0.1\)? How do you know?” (The 8 shaded horizontal strips because they are each tenths or 0.1.)
  • “¿Qué parte del diagrama muestra \(3 \times 0.01\)? ¿Cómo lo saben?” // “What part of the diagram shows \(3 \times 0.01\)? How do you know?” (The 3 single shaded squares because they are hundredths or 0.01.)
  • “¿Qué parte del diagrama muestra \(5 \times 0.001\)? ¿Cómo lo saben?” // “What part of the diagram shows \(5 \times 0.001\)? How do you know?” (The 5 tiny shaded pieces because they are each thousandths or 0.001.)
  • “¿Qué representa el 5 en 0.105?” // “What does the 5 in 0.105 represent?” (5 thousandths)
  • “Puedo escribir 0.105 como \(1 \times 0.1 + 5 \times 0.001\) para mostrar que es 1 décima y 5 milésimas. Esto se llama la ‘forma desarrollada’ de un número decimal” // “I can write 0.105 as \(1 \times 0.1 + 5 \times 0.001\) to show that it is 1 tenth and 5 thousandths. This is called the expanded form of a decimal.”

Activity 2: Números decimales de numerosas maneras (15 minutes)

Narrative

The purpose of this activity is for students to practice different ways of expressing decimal numbers to the thousandth. In addition to standard decimal digit form, these ways include:

  • diagrams
  • expanded form
  • fractions
  • words
The goal of the activity synthesis is to show how the different ways to represent a decimal are interrelated. This gives students an opportunity to make sense of each form and how it relates to the others (MP2).
