Less than $5 5th Grade Decimals Activities (by rating)

Hands on practice:

My students love the opportunity to have a hands on activity where they can roll dice. This activity combines dice rolling for random numbers with flipping cards for random place value to practice rounding decimal numbers. Great engagement for practicing a basic skill.

Students practice rounding numbers to the thousandths place value. They create numbers to the ten thousandths place. Students stay engaged with the game aspect that dice and cards bring.

What's included:

• Activity worksheet containing directions.
• Printable place value cards with printing directions for teachers.

How is this product useful:

• Students are engaged in skills practice.
• Easy prep for teachers.
• Individual, partner, or center work.

Are you looking for a fun way to practice multiplication, subtraction, and addition with decimals? Then look no further! This is an engaging activity for all students. This is a fun math project to practice multiplication with decimals. Students will get to put their math skills into practice in a real life situation. They will create a mock cotton candy stand where they will have to be in charge of buying their product, figuring out how much each customer owes, and how much they will profit. This activity lets each student set up their own cotton candy stand, so all their answers may differ. At the end of the activity students will determine if their cotton candy stand was successful, whether they made a big enough profit to do it again.

This activity has students practice multiplying, dividing, and subtracting numbers with decimals.

What's included:

• A letter to the teacher explaining the task.
• A letter to the students (business owner) explaining their task.
• A page for students to create their own sign for their shop.
• The product page, where students will pick what products they will buy.
• Hourly sales page (There are two options) One will break it down for each step and there is another page that is more challenging for your higher math students to stretch their thinking and not lay out each step explicitly.
• A total sales sheet with reflection questions.
• A social media post for students to create.

The best part? Students have autonomy over their own cotton candy stand. Let them have the reins of their learning. It allows for math practice and a little creativity.

Get creative in the classroom and have your students apply real world math. Show them where they might use multiplication, addition, and subtraction of decimals. Get rid of the boring old math worksheets and let your students create their own little business.

What other teachers are saying:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Anaida W. says, "Fantastic math project! Engaging and full of great questions for students. Thanks."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐Just Another Smith says, "Oh my! I love this activity! It was perfect for basic arithmetic reinforcement for my students. I loved that the activity has a mix of fixed tasks but also some open ended elements so that the students had some choice and creativity. I really enjoy giving my students real-world tasks and felt like this was right at their level. The instructions were clear and there were also some choices for me with built in differentiation."

These are ready to use, just print them out and get started. This could be a great lesson to leave for a substitute as it is no prep!

This is a simple project, but it adds in real life scenario of what the cost is going out to eat. Students end up shocked at the cost of going out to eat! The students pick out a restaurant of their choice (can download the menu offline), "go out to eat" with three other family members, order, determine cost, sales tax and tip for a total of going out to eat for 4 people. This could be a group project with four students going out to eat and seeing what the cost is for each. Either way, it shows their decimal skills with basic math operations and gives them a new appreciation of going out to eat!

This is a fun non curricular thinking task that goes beyond just asking students to convert rational numbers to other forms and put them in order. It provides students with an opportunity to think more deeply about the relative sizes of rational and irrational numbers and strategically choose which shapes to place where.

There are many valid approaches and answers to this task so it is a great way to start the year and build a thinking classroom.

This includes both a version made for 5th, 6th, or 7th grade with mixed numbers and decimal side lengths as well as a version for 8th/9th grade which includes square roots as well.
