Doggie Decimals Center - Decimal Operations
Operations with Decimals
In this center, students create a ‘train’ of problems. They work a problem and find the answer on a card. As they work the problems, they tape the ards together end to end. When they are finished, students journal on a dog(!), and tape it to the top of their train of problems.
12 problems that include all operations with decimals and a dog to journal on
Use with small groups and in centers while you pull groups for intervention, tutoring, or guided math
This journal includes clear and concise teacher directions, an answer key, and conversation starters that give students what they need to have meaningful academic discussions.
