Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to use the weights from the previous activity to support place value understanding, specifically to see the multiplicative relationships between different decimal place values (MP7). These relationships will be taken up in greater detail in the next unit but the weights provide a convenient way to see these relationships which complements the diagrams students used in earlier lessons.
Students first compare weights of two gold nuggets, one weighed using 0.1 ounce weights and the other using 0.01 ounce weights. The two nuggets have the same weight because ten 0.01 ounce weights are equivalent to one 0.1 ounce weight, as students saw in the warm-up. Students move from here to making multiplicative comparisons between place values. They can use the weights to help visualize or calculate or they might use a diagram like those in the previous lesson.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Provide students with a partially completed graphic organizer, such as a two column table, to record the relationship between tenths and hundredths, hundredths and thousandths, and tenths and thousandths.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing, Memory

Groups of 2
Activity
2 minutes: independent work time
8 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who use different strategies to compare the values of the 6s in the gold nugget weights:
using the value of each place in the decimal
thinking about fractions or representing the decimals as fractions
using a diagram such as a hundredths grid

Activity Synthesis
“How are the weights of the nuggets the same? How are they different?” (They all have a 6 in them. They each balance with 6 of one of the unit weights. The value of the 6 is different for each nugget.)
“How do hundredths, the weights for B, compare to tenths, the weights for A?” (There are 10 hundredths in each tenth or a tenth of a tenth is a hundredth.)
“Nugget B weighs how many times as much as Nugget A? How do you know?” (
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
because Nugget A is 6 tenths and a tenth of that is 6 hundredths since a tenth of a tenth is a hundredth.)
“How do thousandths, the weights for C, compare to tenths, the weights for A?” (There are 100 thousandths in a tenth and one hundredth of a tenth is a thousandth.)
“Nugget A weighs how many times as much as Nugget C?” (100, there are 100 thousandths in a tenth.)
