                  SCENARIO OF THE LESSON

Aims of lesson:
The aim of lesson is to notice, formulate and use the activities the principle of multiplaying and division decimal numbers through 10, 100, 1000, .... Moreover the students practise the skills of doing exercises on decimal numbers with the usage of a calculator, reading decimal numbers and counting in memory.

Teaching methods:
Counting with a calculator - noticing a "wandering" comma,
Speaking - formulation of relevant conclusion,
Exercises - usage of the newly learnt principles in exercises.

Organizational forms:
Whole class work, pair work

Didactic means:
Calculators (one per two persons), sheets of paper with exercises

  1. Introduction (about 10 min)
    1. Organizational activities
    2. Preparing for a new lesson

    Main parts of the lesson
    Teacher's activities
    Possible student's activities
    1. Teacher distributes the paper with exercises.
    Count the rules with calculator and write the appropriate outcomes. Work in pairs.









    Students are given the sheets of paper:
    ***************************
    12 345:10=............................
    12 345:100=..........................
    1 2 345:1000=.......................
    12 345:10 000=.....................
    12 345:100 000=...................
    12 345:1 000 000=................
    ***************************
    and write the outcomes:
    1234,5
    123,45
    ..........
    0,12345
    0,012345 
    1. a) What can you notice?The comma is moving
    Does the comma move according to some principle?Yes
    How many positions the comma has moved when we divide by 10?
    In which direction?
    One place left.
    How the position of comma has changed when we divide by 1000?The comma moved tree places left
    1. b) Teacher ask the students to stick the sheets of paper to notebooks and together with students formulates the principle.

    Students stick the sheets of paper to notebooks and write in colour:
    When dividing the decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000, ... we move the comma about one, two, three places left.
    2. The teacher writes on the board the rule:
    6723,5:_______=67,235
    N: What number the divisor is?
    The divisor is 100
    N: Why 100?
    Because the comma was moved two places left. 
    The teacher writes on board the rules:
    49568:________=49,568
    69,978:________=0,0069978
    Some of the students complete the blanks.
    3. Have you ever heard about pi number?U: Yes/No
    N: It is some mathematical constant with which you will meet in counting the field of a circle. Its value is equal 3,14159265... 
    3. Teacher distributes the paper with exercises.
    Count the rules with calculator and write the appropriate outcomes. Work in pairs.










    Students are given the sheets of paper:
    **************************
    3,14159265*10=.........................
    3,14159265*100=.......................
    3,14159265*1000=.....................
    3,14159265*10 000=..................
    3,14159265*100 000=................
    3,14159265*1 000 000=.............
    ***************************
    and write the outcomes:
    31,4159265
    314,159265
    .......
    314159,265
    3141592,65
    3. a) What can you notice?The comma is movng, but this time to the right.
    How many positions the comma moved when we multiply by 10?
    And when we multiply by 1000?
    One place

    Three places
    3. b) Teacher ask the students to stick the sheets of paper to notebooks and together with students formulates the principle.
    Students stick the sheets of paper to notebooks and write in colour:
    When multiplying the decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000, ... we move the comma about one, two, three places right.
    4. The teacher writes on the board the rule:
    37,56*________=375,6
    What number the factor is?
    The factor is 10
    Why 10?
    Because the comma was moved one place right.
    The teacher writes on board the rules:
    0,03756*________=375,6
    375,6*________=375600
    Some of the students complete the blanks.
    What differences can you see beetwen the principles of dividing and multiplying the decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000, ...?
    While dividing the comma moved left,
    while multiplying the comma moved right.
    5. The teacher writes on the board the rules:
    a) 1,75  _  _____=17,5
    b) 14,3  _  _____=1,43
    c) 98,547  _  _____=9854,7
    d) 987,47  _  _____=9,8747
    e) 67,32  _  _____=67320
    f) 845,6  _  _____=0,8456
    Write and complete the blanks with appropriate signs and numbers.
    Students write the rules and doing exercises.
    Some of students read the outcomes
