Mastering Powers of 10: 5.NBT.2

to Read (

Words)

     Wow! One of the most challenging new standards in the Common Core Curriculum is teaching the powers of 10, how they relate, and how we can use them.   There is very little out there to teach basic, foundational concepts. It's taken me since last year to get my thoughts (and act) together, but I finally have posted my unit on "Mastering Powers of 10: Practice and Content 5.NBT.2)

     I've never had success just teaching students the algorithm (move the decimal over...do the decimal dance) without helping them "see" what's actually going on. As usual, I learned so much content myself! I added a couple of charts that help students see the "power of powers" and it seems to make a difference with my kids.

     Let me know what you think!
