Wow. This showed up in my timehop from a year ago 😂😂😂. I guess I was teaching multiplying by powers of 10 this time last year, too. If you can tell what this is about. Look at where the • in Ms is before multiplying by 10, and then look where it is after. I. Am. Dying. Clearly they understood the concept.

Help your students to visually see decimals increase and decrease as they're multiplied or divided by powers of 10 by making it interactive! ⁠
⁠
This video will show you two strategies:⁠ 1. Using a place value chart to physically move the digits to increase or decrease their value⁠ 2. Moving the decimal point in your number to increase or decrease the value of the number⁠
⁠
Having a hands-on approach to place value (especially for skills like multiplying and dividing by powers of 10) has changed the game in my classroom. ⁠

Google Classroom has some pretty great features. All of my math tests are in Google Forms, which has made my life so much easier in terms of grading and data analysis. ⁠
⁠
Because I teach 3 math sections, I need to share the assignment and link to the test in each of my 3 classes. Although you have the option to assign it to all classes at the same time from the original post, I like to schedule them out so that it doesn't post for each class until their class time starts. ⁠
⁠
Reusing a post from another class has really helped with this. Check out my quick tutorial to see how you can reuse posts within Google Classroom. ⁠

Math reviews are so much more fun when you get to work with a friend!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Every time we have a test on one of our math units, I pull out that unit's set of Task Tents™. The kids really do love them!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Students get to:⁠⠀
▪️ work with a partner⁠⠀
▪️ get up and move around the room⁠⠀
▪️ check their partner's answers for each question using the answer key on their side⁠⠀
▪️ get instant feedback from their partner⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Click the link in my bio to see more Task Tents™ for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.⁠⠀

Visual Models have been one of my go-to strategies for teaching decimal operations for the past seven years. ⁠
⁠
While my students grasp the standard algorithm quickly, I'm trying to instill a better understanding of place value and what it really means to add and subtract parts of a whole. What does that look like?⁠
⁠
Check out the link in my bio for my latest blog post on how I teach adding and subtracting decimals using visual models in addition to the standard algorithm.⁠
