| equal to | Used when two numbers are the same |
| place value | The value of a digit based on its position in a number |
Display 6-8 decimals. Model pronunciation and ask students to repeat chorally and individually. Prompt quick questions: Which is larger? Which has more tenths?
Repeat decimals aloud, identify the larger/smaller number, and respond using short target-language phrases.
Say decimals at a steady pace. Repeat as needed. Ask students to write what they hear on mini whiteboards, then reveal answers and clarify common errors.
Listen carefully, write each decimal, and self-correct based on feedback.
Model comparison frames such as '___ is greater than ___' or the target-language equivalent. Pair students and assign decimal card sets for comparison.
Work in pairs to compare decimals orally, justify answers, and switch roles for multiple rounds.
Give mixed cards with decimals written in digits and words. Have students sort them into matching pairs or order them from least to greatest.
Match numeral and word forms, then order decimals and explain their reasoning using target-language vocabulary.
Run a fast-paced team relay. Call out a decimal or comparison task; one student records the answer, the next checks, and the next reads it aloud.
Collaborate in teams to complete tasks quickly and accurately while speaking the target language.
Provide several incorrect examples of decimal reading or writing. Ask students to identify and fix the mistakes.
Independently correct errors and explain what was wrong using vocabulary from the lesson.
Review the key language patterns and ask students to share one skill they improved today. End with a final oral review question.
Respond orally or in writing with one takeaway and answer the final review question.
Reinforce that accurate decimal reading depends on place value, careful listening, and clear comparison language. Celebrate strong pronunciation and accurate number use in the target language.
