What is MOVIE THEATER MATH: DECIMALS & PLACE VALUE?
Movie Theater math is a project based, real-world math activity to engage learners in math concepts they encounter in their lives. This resource specifically focuses on decimal addition and subtraction, place value (rounding, reading, writing, and expanding), and patterns of multiplying and dividing ten with decimals. This resource is specifically created for 5th grade standards.
Students often ask, “When will I ever use this in the real world?” This resource is a fantastic way to highlight how decimal operations can be seen and used in life outside the classroom. Movie Theater Math is an engaging, relatable, and equitable resource to elicit excitement in the math classroom. This resource is meant to be done in pairs/small groups, but can be done individually also.
This resource can be used to introduce, reinforce, or review 5th grade decimal math standards. This resource can be used for direct instruction for a whole class or in small groups. The bottom line, let's make math relevant, interesting, and exciting to our 5th graders!
