Instructional Procedure:
A. Preliminary Activities;
1. Drill
Drill on expressing fraction as decimals.
2. Review
Review on reading and writing whole numbers by presenting some statistics.

Read the numbers and write them in words (cartolina strips)

Here are some facts about the Philippines

Total land area:

299 404 square kilometers

Total water area:

(within territorial limits)
150 759 282 hectares

Population (2010 census):

 3.Motivation:

Are you all aware of what is happening in our country? Are you aware of the economic
situation in the Philippines? What is the implication to our economy of the dollar exchange
rate?

B. Developmental Activities
1. Presentation

Problem:
Every morning Atty. Arcigalreads the newspaper. He takes note of the dollar
exchange. One morning, he read that the exchange rate of a dollar is P 46.468. How
does we read this number?
Present the decimal number in a place value chart.

Tens Ones Tenths hundredths thousandths

4 6 ● 4 6 8

The location of 8 is in thousandthsplace

The number is read as eight thousandths

Using the chart the pupils will read the given decimal, then write it also in words as: forty-
six and four hundred sixty-eight thousandths

Present another example

ones

tenths
Read the digits in a decimal as for whole and
Hundredths mixed numbers; after reading the digits, we
say the name of the place value of the last
thousandths digit. The decimal point is read as ”and.” So we
read this number as four and three thousand
ten six hundred seventy two ten thousandths.

 2. Performing the Activities
A. Flash cards one at a time. Let the pupil read and write decimal numbers.

1. 7-tenths 2. 3-tens
2-hundredths 6-ones
4-thousandths 5- tenths
5-ten thousandths8- hundredths
9-ten thosandths
A. Have pupils work in pairs. Each pair works on every station simultaneously. Each
of them will check their answers and present their output.
Station 1. Write five and three hundred ten thousandths in decimal form.
Station 2. Write 24 and 6 hundred ten thousandths in decimal form. Then write in
words.
Station 3. Write 46 and sixty-three hundredths in decimal form. Then write in
words
Station 4. Write 92 ten thousandths in decimal form and write in words.
Station 5. Write four thousand fifteen and forty-one thousandths in decimal

3. Processing Activities

Let the class check their answers by pairs and present their outputs one at a time. After the
class presented, ask, “How did you find the activity? How did you read and write decimal
numbers?

Say: We read decimal numbers like reading whole numbers. Then say, the place value of the
last digit. The decimal point is read as “and.” We use 0 as placeholder.
