options: Work with numbers 11–19 to gain foundations for place value.

Extend the counting sequence.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. (A range of algorithms may be used.)

Understand place value.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.

Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.

Understand the place value system.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this True or False is for students to demonstrate strategies and understandings they have for adding decimals. These understandings help students deepen their understanding of the properties of operations and will be helpful later in the lesson when students will need to be able to add decimals.
Launch
Display one equation.
“Give me a signal when you know whether the equation is true and can explain how you know.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
Share and record answers and strategy.
Repeat with each equation.
Student Facing
Decide if each statement true or false. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
\(0.99 + 0.1 = 0.9 + 0.1 + 0.09\)
\(0.99 + 0.01 = 0.9 + 0.1\)
\(0.99 + 0.1 = 1.99\)

Activity Synthesis
Display the first and third equations.
“How can you justify your answer without evaluating both sides?” (For the first problem, I noticed that there are 9 tenths on the right and left and also 10 hundredths. For the third problem, I saw that the right hand side is almost 2 so it's much larger than the left hand side.)
