Adding Decimals Using Models 1 Scenario 1 Andy is training for a 2-mile road race. To help him prepare, he decided to run twice a week. This week, he ran 0.75 miles on Tuesday and 1.3 miles on Thursday. How many miles did Andy run this week? Use what you know about decimals to estimate the number of miles Andy ran. » = 2 miles

Adding Decimals Using Models 1 Scenario 1 Andy is training for a 2-mile road race. To help him prepare, he decided to run twice a week. This week, he ran 0.75 miles on Tuesday and 1.3 miles on Thursday. How many miles did Andy run this week? What addition sentence is represented by the problem? » = ?

= ? Let’s use Base Ten Pieces to model this addition sentence. – How would we represent 0.75 using Base Ten Pieces? – 7 rods, 5 units – How would we represent 1.3 using Base Ten Pieces? – 1 flat, 3 rods – Let’s put all the flats, rods, and units together.

= ? We now have 1 flat, 10 rods, and 5 units. What is 10 rods equal to? – 10 rods = 1 flat Trade the 10 rods for 1 flat We now have 2 flats and 5 units So, what does =? – 2.05 Is our exact answer close to our estimated answer?

Adding Decimals Using Models 1 Scenario 2 Vivian enjoys riding her bike on the weekends. On Saturday, she rode 1.4 miles to the park, 0.75 miles to the store, and 1.14 miles home. How many miles did Vivian ride on Saturday? Use what you know about decimals to estimate the number of miles Vivian rode on Saturday. » = 3 miles

Adding Decimals Using Models 1 Scenario 1 Vivian enjoys riding her bike on the weekends. On Saturday, she rode 1.4 miles to the park, 0.75 miles to the store, and 1.14 miles home. How many miles did Vivian ride on Saturday? What addition sentence is represented by the problem? » = ?

= ? Let’s use Base Ten Pieces to model this addition sentence. – How would we represent 1.4 using Base Ten Pieces? – 1 flat, 4 rods – How would we represent 0.75 using Base Ten Pieces? – 7 rods, 5 units – How would we represent 1.14 using Base Ten Pieces? – 1 flat, 1 rod, 4 units – Let’s put all the flats, rods, and units together.

= ? We now have 2 flats, 12 rods, and 9 units. What is 12 rods equal to? – 12 rods = 1 flat, 2 rods Trade the 10 of the rods for 1 flat. We now have 3 flats, 2 rods and 9 units So, what does =? – 3.29 Is our exact answer close to our estimated answer?
