Encourage them to look for examples that highlight decimals in everyday situations, like shopping, measuring things, or even in science. After their research, invite students to share what they found with the class, creating a collaborative learning atmosphere.

Initial Thoughts

1. ✨ What exactly are decimal numbers and how do they differ from whole numbers?

2. ✨ How does the placement of digits in a decimal number impact its value?

3. ✨ What everyday situations have you come across that involve decimal numbers?

4. ✨ Can you name certain jobs that regularly work with decimal numbers? Which ones and how?

5. ✨ Why is it important to have a solid understanding of decimal numbers?

Development

Duration: 70 to 85 minutes

The aim of this phase of the lesson is to craft a lively and engaging learning atmosphere where students can apply their understanding of decimal numbers in practical, context-based situations. The activities are intended to promote teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and meaningful use of digital technologies.

Activity Suggestions

Activity Recommendations

Activity 1 - 🕵️‍♂️ Decimal Detectives 🕵️‍♀️

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Apply knowledge of decimal numbers in a fun and interactive manner, while enhancing problem-solving and teamwork skills.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will step into the role of digital detectives to crack a case revolving around decimal numbers. Utilizing an augmented reality (AR) game on their phones, they’ll search for clues in the classroom that relate to decimals. Each clue will present a challenge or problem that involves using decimal operations.

- Instructions:

  • Split the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Each group needs to download the AR app as recommended by the teacher.

  • When the app starts, students will engage with an interactive story that casts them as detectives.

  • Using their phone cameras, students must locate AR markers scattered around the classroom.

  • Each marker will reveal a clue that presents a problem or challenge related to decimal numbers.

  • Students need to solve the problem and log their answers in the app.

  • Ultimately, the group that accurately solves the most problems will come out on top.

Activity 2 - 📸 Decimal Vlog 📸

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Encourage students to be actively involved in the learning process, promoting creativity, tech skills, and effective communication.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will produce a vlog explaining core concepts of decimal numbers. They can utilize any video recording app available on their phones and even edit the videos using free editing software. The idea is that by creating content in a way they might enjoy, they'll better retain the knowledge and sharpen their communication and teamwork abilities.

- Instructions:

  • Divide the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Each group will select one of the following topics for their vlog: reading and writing decimal numbers, the significance of digit placement, or everyday uses of decimal numbers.

  • Students should draft a video script, detailing who will speak, what examples will be used, and how they will explain the concepts.

  • Use phones to record the videos. Encourage the use of free editing apps to enhance their content with text, captions, and effects.

  • Groups must upload their videos on a teacher-selected platform (like YouTube or Google Drive).

  • At the conclusion, each group will present their video to the class.

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Utilize gamification to enhance engagement and excitement in learning about decimal numbers, while fostering teamwork and problem-solving.

- Deskripsi Activity: Students will get involved in a digital RPG game where each challenge revolves around using decimal numbers. The backdrop will be a fantasy realm where characters rely on their maths skills to tackle problems and progress through missions.

- Instructions:

  • Organize the class into groups of up to 5 students.

  • Each group will need to use a computer with internet connectivity to play the given digital RPG.

  • At the game's start, students will create characters and receive a brief overview of the storyline, which involves rescuing a kingdom using their decimal knowledge.

  • Challenges will offer practical and theoretical problems related to decimals, such as online shopping, precise measurements for crafting tools, and calculating distances.

  • Students must collaborate to overcome challenges and move the game's story along.

  • The group that completes the most missions or advances the furthest in the story will receive accolades.
