Key Assessment Strategies

• Peer Assessment - Students assess each other's outputs
• Checking of students' outputs
• Observation during group work activity by the teacher

RATIONAL NUMBERS
Mind Map
The Mind Map displays the organization and relationship between the concepts and
activities in this Learning Guide in a visual form. It is included to provide visual clues on
the structure of the guide and to provide an opportunity for you, the teacher, to
reorganize the guide to suit your particular context.
Stages of Learning
The following stages have been identified as optimal in this unit. It should be noted that
the stages do not represent individual lessons. Rather, they are a series of stages over one
or more lessons and indicate the suggested steps in the development of the targeted
competencies and in the achievement of the stated objectives.
Assessment
All six Stages of Learning in this Learning Guide may include some advice on possible
formative assessment ideas to assist you in determining the effectiveness of that stage on
student learning. It can also provide information about whether the learning goals set for
that stage have been achieved. Where possible, and if needed, teachers can use the
formative assessment tasks for summative assessment purposes i.e as measures of student
performance. It is important that your students know what they will be assessed on.

RATIONAL NUMBERS
1. Activating Prior Learning

This stage aims to engage or focus the learners by asking them to call to mind what they
know about the topic and connect it with their past learning. Activities could involve making
personal connections.
Background or purpose
The students have the prior knowledge in multiplication of decimals. In this stage, they
will recall multiplication of decimals by illustrating the product in the square grid.
Strategy
READY, SET RECALL. A strategy to help students recall their previous learning. The
students assume the responsibility of remembering, documenting and sharing material
covered at prior meeting.
Materials
• activity sheet (refer to Student Activity 1, Deci-Square, on pages 14-16)
• crayon
Activity 1: “Deci-Square”
Instructions:
1. Organize the class into 5 groups or as desired.
2. Provide each group the materials.
3. Encourage them to discuss and perform the task at a given time.
4. Let them present their outputs for comparison.
Formative Assessment
Ensure that the students performed the activity correctly to come up with the expected
output.
Check the groups' outputs.
Roundup
The students were given the opportunity to recall multiplication of decimals by
illustrating the product in a square grid.
2. Setting the Context

This stage introduces the students to what will happen in the lessons. The teacher sets the
objectives/expectations for the learning experience and an overview how the learning
experience will fit into the larger scheme.
In this stage, the students will perform an activity that gives an overview on division of
decimals. To do this, they will find the division sentences which will show that
multiplication is the inverse operation of division.
Strategy
T CHART. This strategy shows the relationship between two sets of information. This helps
the students clarify concepts or ideas.

RATIONAL NUMBERS
Materials
• activity sheet (refer to Student Activity 2, Brain Teaser, on page 17)
• strips (refer to Teacher Resource Sheet 1 on page 18)
• enlarged T Charts (refer to Teacher Resource Sheet 2 on page 19)
Activity 2: “Brain Teaser”
Instructions:
1. Prior to this activity, prepare 5 sheets of T Chart drawn on a manila paper and 5 sets
of multiplication strips.
2. Use the same grouping in stage 1.
3. Provide each group the materials needed for this activity.
4. Instruct them to paste the multiplication strips under the multiplication column of
the chart.
5. Let them formulate division sentences using the numbers of each multiplication
strip. Instruct them to write each sentence in a strip.
6. Ask each group to present their outputs for comparison.
Ensure the involvement of each member in the group activity.
Roundup
The students would have performed the activity that gave an overview on division of
decimals.
3. Learning Activity Sequence

This stage provides the information about the topic and the activities for the students.
Students should be encouraged to discover their own information.
In this stage, the students will be able to:
• visualize division of decimals using models;
• divide decimals by whole numbers;
• divide decimals by decimals through hundredths; and
• solve word problems involving division of decimals.
Strategies
MODELLING. Explicitly demonstrating the cognitive processes and skills required of a
learner for a particular task. Teacher and students can demonstrate processes and skills to
each other.
PROBLEM SOLVING. Teaching students how to effectively solve problems will provide
them with useful lifelong skills.
Problem solving models, such as the Working Mathematically Model, break problem solving
into a step-by-step process.

RATIONAL NUMBERS
CLARIFY What is the problem asking you to find out?
CHOOSE What tools would be effective for solving the problem?
USE Use the tools to gain an answer to the problem.
INTERPRET Is the answer reasonable? Can you check it using another

method?
COMMUNICATE Depending on your audience, communicate the answer.

This may be in a simple form (e.g. A written sentence)
or a more complex form (e.g. Writing a report).
Materials

the activity.
2. Let them do the tasks one at a time.
3. Provide each group the activity sheets and crayons.
4. See to it that each member in the group participates in the discussion.
5. Set a number of minutes for them to perform each task.
6. Then, let them present their outputs for comparison and discussion.
Ensure the involvement of the students in the activity.
Roundup
The students would have visualized division of decimals using models, divided decimals by
whole numbers and by decimals through hundredths, and solved word problems involving
division of decimals.
4. Check for Understanding of the Topic or Skill

This stage is for teachers to find out how much students have understood before they apply
it to other learning experiences.

RATIONAL NUMBERS
In this stage, students will enhance their knowledge and skills in dividing decimals through
hundredths and in solving word problems involving division of decimals.
Strategy
PUZZLE. This allows the students to identify the relationship of one number to the other.
The answers have connections. This develops students' mathematical/logical intelligence.
Materials
• activity sheets (refer to Student Activity 4, Make a Chain, on page 27-28)
• manila paper
• marking pen
• masking tape
Activity 4: “Make a Chain”
Instructions:
1. Organize the students into 5 groups or as desired.
2. Provide each group the materials.
3. Instruct them to write their outputs on the manila paper.
4. Set a time for them to perform the activity.
5. Let each group present their outputs for comparison and discussion.
Ensure the involvement of the students in the activity.
Roundup
The students would have enhanced their knowledge and skills in dividing decimals through
hundredths and solving word problems involving division of decimals.
5. Practice and Application

In this stage, students consolidate their learning through independent or guided practice and
transfer their learning to new or different situations.
The activity in this stage will challenge the students to apply their knowledge and skills in
dividing decimals through hundredths and solving word problems involving division of
decimals using real-life situations.
Strategies
SUSTAINED CONVERSATION. This strategy occurs when teachers and students, or students
and students discuss issues in meaningful context. Rather than just asking for a right
answer, sustained conversations develop student's reasoning and discussion skills. “What
do you think?”, “How could you do this?”, “Do you agree?”. . . What makes you agree?”
are examples of open questions which can result in sustained conversation.

objectives and summarize the learning gained. Teachers can also foreshadow the next set of
learning experiences and make the relevant links.

RATIONAL NUMBERS
In this stage, the students will consolidate their learning in dividing decimals through
hundredths and solving word problem involving division of decimals.
Strategy
THINK INK PAIR SHARE. A strategy that allows groups to reach consensus or check
understanding. Students can take their partner to discuss and share ideas. Then, share
with the whole group or join with another pair to reach consensus.
Material
• activity sheet (refer to Student Activity 6, Brain Blocker, on page 33)
Activity 6: “Brain Blocker”
Instructions:
1. Provide each student the activity sheet.
