Last month we introduced our students to Hello My Name Is … Place Value activity. As we moved into our unit on decimals we carried on this familiar activity. Students were asked to fill in their name plate with their names and a decimal number that at least had a digit in the thousandths place. Students were asked to circulate, introducing themselves by name and saying their decimal number aloud. Variations can be applied to this activity such as:
- Ask students to introduce themselves and read their partners name and number.
- Ask students to introduce themselves and find someone in the room with a 9 in the ten millionths place, or a 6 in the thousandths place.
- Ask students to introduce themselves to someone who has a number of greater value or lesser value.
