Lesson 41: Visualizing

Decimal Numbers
Using Models like
Blocks, Grids, Number
Lines, and Money
Identify the number of equal parts the whole
is divided.
a. B. B.

c. D. E.
What part of the whole is the shaded part

A. B. C.

D. E.
 Tabern went to a bakeshop. He bought a
cassava pie for his snack. He sliced the pie
into four equal parts and gave 3 parts to his
friends. What decimal part of the pie was
given to his friends?

What trait did Tabern show?

 Base 1 – Use of Blocks/ Cubes
Group the blocks or color the blocks to
visualize 0.75, the part of the pie given to
Tabern’s friends.
 Base 2 – Use of Grid
Color the grid to visualize 0.75, the part of
the pie given to Tabern’s friends.
 Base 3- Use of Number Lines
Use the drawing below representing the number
line. Color the posts to visualize 0.75, the part of the
given to Tabern’s friends.
 Base 4- Use of Money
A cassava cake was sliced into four equal
parts. Each slice costs Php 75. Suppose the
cost of the whole cassava cake is Php 300, how
will you visualize 0.75?

Cost of Amount per slice or part of the pie

Cassava
Cake
Php 75.00 Php 75.00 PhP 75.00 Php 75.00

Php 300.00
Look at the blocks or cubes model below to
visualize 0.7. Observe that there are a 10
cubes representing the whole.

Whole
Cross out 7 cubes from the whole unit.

7 cubes
 There are 7 cubes crossed out of 10. this
can be written as in fraction form or 0.7 in
decimal form.
Look at the grid at the right. You observe
that there are 100 squares. This means the
whole is equally divided into 100 squares.
There are 7 squares shaded out of 100
squares. can be written as 0.07 in decimal
form.
 Look at the illustration below. Notice the
number of posts in the number line. There are
10 posts. 5 posts out of 10 are painted. of the
posts are painted. is written as 0.5 in decimal.

Whole

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10

0.50 or 5/10 or ½
 Think of Php 1 coin. This is equal
to 100 centavos. 40 centavos can be
written as in fractional form or 0.40 in
decimal form.
 Draw a grid or blocks to illustrate the
following decimal numbers:
1. 0.4 2. 0.6 3. 0.25
4. 0.50 5. 0.075
Color the posts to show the following
decimal numbers:

1. 0.2=
2. 0.4 =

3. 0.6 =

4. 0.7 =

5. 0.9 =
Draw grids to show the following decimals:
1. 0.6 2. 0.9 3. 0.55
4.0.75 5. 0.89
Draw number lines to show the following decimals:
6. 0.3 7. 0.25 8. 0.4
9. 0.1 10. 0.2
Write each amount using the peso sign.
11. 75 centavos 12. 95 centavos
13. 5 centavos 14. One peso
• To visualize a decimal number, we use grid,
blocks, number line, or money.
Read and write the answers in your notebook.
1. Shanot bought 0.75 kilogram of sugar. Draw a grid or blocks
to show the given decimal number.
2. Cyrus paid Php30 for a hand towel. Draw the paper bills
and coins to show the given amount.
3. Cycryl hikes a distance of 0.75 kilometer in going to school
every day. Draw a number line to show the distance.
4. Dejay painted 0.6 of the posts in the garden. If there were 10
posts, how many were painted? Draw the posts in a line to
show your answer.
5. Timothy harvested some vegetables in the garden. The
squash weighed 0.95 kilogram. Draw a weighing scale to
show the given decimal number.
Using models, visualize the following
decimal numbers.
1. 0.20
2. 0.25
3. 0.50
4. 0.75
5. 0.90
 Assignment

Visualize the following decimal numbers

using a grid.
1. 0.10
2. 0.20
3. 0.30
4. 0.40
5. 0.50
Solve these problems.
1. In a long jump contest, Shanot recorded
0.75 meter while Tabern had a record of
0.50 meter. How much farther did Shanot
jump than Tabern? Draw a number line
to show the distance.
2. A patola measures 0.35 meter while an
ampalaya measures 0.25 meter. Which is
longer? Draw a grid to show your answer.
