Lesson Goal: I can build large numbers out of small numbers.
Choose two numbers. One is really big and the other is pretty small. Tell how many of the small numbers it would take to make the big one.
Red: Pick numbers between 1 and 100
Yellow: Pick numbers between 1 and 100 000
Green: Pick numbers between 0.01 and 1
Neon Green: Pick numbers between 0.001 and 1 000 000
Choose your question wisely based on making sure that learning is taking place. If you choose two numbers that are too easy for you, you won't be learning anything.
We will take this up, Bansho style, tomorrow.

What is something that you learned?
Blade learned that he could use patterns from the answers that he found using a calculator to quickly find answers using different numbers.
Evan learned that he could use division to find an answer in an efficient way.
Finley, Sohail, and others learned how to divide with decimals.
Kailee learned that, with perseverance, she could find an answer in the green level by building up the small number.
I learned that when dividing by decimals, it is like dividing by 10s. It is really a matter of moving your decimal.
Quinn learned that multiplying by base tens moves the decimal to the right and dividing by base tens moves the decimal to the left.
