IV. LESSON:

A. VISUALIZATION OF DECIMLAS
A Decimal Number (based on the number 10) contains a Decimal Point.

To read decimal numbers,

1. Read the whole number part first (If the whole number part is zero, then simply read the decimal part).
2. Rea the decimal point as “and”, the
3. Read the decimal place like whole number and affixing the place value of the right most digit.
Let us create a place value chart:
Example: 123.4567
B. CHANGING DECIMAL TO FRACTION (VICE VERSA)

To convert a Decimal to a Fraction follow these steps:

Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: ��������������
1

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example,
if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000,
etc.)
Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction.
Example: Convert 0.75 to a fraction.
Solution:
Step 1: Write down 0.75 divided by 1:

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 100 (because there are 2 digits after the decimal point so
that is 10×10=100):

Step 3. Simplify the fraction

Decimal to fraction
Decimals are written in fraction the way they are read. Let’s take a look at the following
example
Decimal Read as Fraction

1 0.2 Two-tenths 1
10 = 5
2

2 0.75 Seventy-five hundredths 3

100= 4
75
 3 0.009 Nine-thousandths 9
1000

C. ROUNDING DECIMAL
Rounding is a process to estimate a particular number in a context. To round a number look at the
next digit in the right place, if the digit is less than 5, round down and if the digit is 5 or more than 5,
round up.
Example: See the table below
Given Place Digit in If the digit to the right of Answer
Decimal Rounding to the the place rounding to is
Place equal to or greater than 5,
Rounding round up. If less than 5,
to round down

1 0.749 Tenth 7 4 < 5; retain 7 0.7

2 2.457 Hundredth 5 7 > 5; add 1 to 5 2.46

3 0.8195 Thousandth 9 5 = 5; add 1 to 9 0.820

4 37.806 Hundredth 0 6 > 5; add 1 to 0 37.81

5 0.9631 Greatest 9 6 > 5; add 1 to 9 1.0

D. FOUR OPERATION OF DECIMALS (ADDITION, SUBTACTION, MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION)

1. Addition of Decimals
Adding decimals is very similar to adding whole numbers except with a few extra technical details and
bookkeeping. Recall that decimals are just fractions. We add fractions by adding the whole number parts
and the fractional parts separately, carrying the 1 from the fractional part if necessary to the whole
number part. For decimals, we line up the decimal points so that the whole number parts line up and
the decimal parts line up. Then add each.
Ex. 93.59 + 4.7

2. Subtraction of Decimals
Subtraction of decimals is carried out in a similar way. We line up the decimals vertically, tack on extra
zeros to the right, and subtract downward. More specifically, follow the steps below
Step 1: Line up the numbers vertically so that the decimal points all lie on a vertical line.

Step 2: Add extra zeros to the right of the number so that each number has the same number of digits
to the right of the decimal place.

Step 3: Subtract the numbers as you would whole numbers. Place the decimal point of the result in line
with the other decimal points.
Example: 34.91 - 14.214

3. Multiplication of Decimals
Just follow these steps:

• Multiply normally, ignoring the decimal points.

• Then put the decimal point in the answer - it will have as many decimal places as the two original
numbers combined.
In other words, just count up how many numbers are after the decimal point in both numbers you are
multiplying, then the answer should have that many numbers after its decimal point.

4. Division of Decimals
To divide decimal numbers:

Example: Divide 6.4 by 0.4

Now we can calculate: ������= ����

V. ACTIVITY: (Use separate paper for activity)

1. Create a semi detailed lesson plan that is intended for Grade 5 pupils. You can choose only one of
the topics discussed about decimals
Criteria: SMART Objective: 10 pts.
Motivation Activity: 10 pts.
Presentation or Discussion: 10 pts.
Assessment (Formative and Summative): 10 pts. – Just give at most 3 questions.

VI. SUMMARY: (OPTIONAL)
A decimal is a number that consists of a whole and a fractional part. Decimal numbers lie
between integers and represent numerical value for quantities that are whole plus some part
of a whole. Decimals are a numeric system used to represent numbers that fall between
whole numbers. They consist of digits 0 through 9 and a decimal point, with digits to the left of
the decimal point representing whole numbers and those to the right representing fractional
parts. Decimals are crucial for precise calculations, measurements, and financial transactions.
They can undergo arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division, with proper alignment of decimal points to maintain accuracy. Additionally, decimals
can be converted to fractions or percentages, and they find applications in various real-world
scenarios, including finance, science, and everyday calculations.

VII. EVALUATION:
