Whole Class Decimals

Grades 2-6, Inclusion

Teaching decimals to the whole class is easier and more effective with this series of 11 interactive models. Designed specifically to support teachers as they demonstrate key points about decimals, the program uses large, clear graphics that are easily seen from a monitor, white board, or projector so that the entire class is engaged in learning.

Easily manipulated models, number lines, and animations present concepts such as rounding decimals, visualizing decimals, and converting fractions into decimals. Teachers can move at whatever pace they deem appropriate for their group or class as they go through each logically presented step. Easy to set up and use, this program greatly reduces preparation time for teachers.
