Decimals Foundation & Mastery Pack
Master Decimal Place Value, Vertical Column Operations & Long Division with Structured Practice
Structured Day-by-Day Learning Progression
Carefully calibrated module sequencing designed to take students from initial place-value concrete models to rapid computation automaticity without cognitive burnout.
| Day Range | Core Module & Skill | Pedagogical Focus & Sample Problem | Learning Objective |
|---|---|---|---|
| Units 1–3 | Decimal Addition (Tenths to Mixed Precision) | 14.8 + 7.5 = 22.3 • 32.45 + 18.70 = 51.15Vertical decimal point alignment, column addition, and regrouping across decimal places. | Reinforces strict decimal point alignment to preserve place value integrity. |
| Units 4–6 | Decimal Subtraction & Regrouping | 45.2 - 18.7 = 26.5 • 60.05 - 24.38 = 35.67Borrowing across zeros, aligning tenths and hundredths, and mixed precision subtraction. | Targeted regrouping drills eliminate common borrowing errors with trailing zeros. |
| Units 7–10 | Comparing & Ordering Decimals | 3.405 < 3.450 • Order: 0.8, 0.25, 1.05, 0.09Place value inequality comparisons (<, >, =) and sorting sequences up to thousandths. | Clears up the 'longer number is bigger' misconception by analyzing digits column by column. |
| Units 11–12 | Multiplying Decimals (Whole & Decimal) | 12.4 × 6 = 74.4 • 3.5 × 2.4 = 8.40Standard multi-digit multiplication, counting total decimal places, and placing decimal points. | Right-aligned standard algorithm with decimal place counting rules. |
| Units 13–15 | Long Division, Missing Addends & Fractions | 38.4 ÷ 8 = 4.8 • 0.75 = 3/4Long division brackets, missing addend algebra, and fraction-decimal conversions. | Standard long division bracket format with spacious workspace for student calculations. |
