Classroom practice and state assessment information
Grade 5 is within Delaware’s Smarter Balanced mathematics testing range. The linked learning resources have their own directions and scoring; a practice score does not establish an official state performance level. Read the state summative assessment overview for official guidance.
Use the worked activity and lesson directory to choose a skill. Confirm the directions of an independent practice resource before assigning it.
Use 1 + 0.2 to explain 23.4 × 1.2
Work through the example
A demonstration strip is 1.2 times as long as a 23.4-centimeter reference strip. Find its length and explain why the answer should be a little greater than 23.4 centimeters.
Connect the model and calculation
Write 1.2 as 1 + 0.2. One copy of the reference is 23.4 centimeters. Two tenths of it is 4.68 centimeters, since one tenth is 2.34 and two tenths is twice that. Add 23.4 + 4.68 = 28.08. The new strip is 28.08 centimeters long. The calculation uses the distributive relationship: 23.4 × (1 + 0.2) = 23.4 × 1 + 23.4 × 0.2.
| Part of factor | Length contributed |
|---|---|
| 1 whole copy | 23.4 cm |
| 0.2 of a copy | 4.68 cm |
| 1.2 copies in all | 28.08 cm |
Understand an incorrect answer
An answer of 280.8 multiplies by 12 rather than 1.2. An answer of 2.808 is smaller than the reference even though the factor is greater than one. Compare each answer with the intended one-whole-plus-two-tenths model. Estimating the size does not prove every digit, but it catches a misplaced decimal that changes the scale by a factor of ten. Keep centimeters attached to the result; this is a length calculation, not a square-centimeter area.
Transfer the idea to another example
Change the factor to 0.2. The product is 4.68 centimeters and is smaller than the reference because it represents only two tenths of it. Then use 1.5, explaining one copy plus half a copy: 23.4 + 11.7 = 35.1. Compare what changes when the factor is below one, equal to one, or above one. Use a related worksheet to check whether a student can explain the product’s size before relying on a written algorithm.
