🛠 Teacher Notes, Differentiation & Extensions

Success Criteria (brief): Align decimal points, use place-value columns or 10x/100x models, show regrouping/borrowing, and label units (dollars, miles, °F).

Differentiation strategies: - For learners needing support: provide a partially filled place-value chart or base-ten blocks image. - Use one-step problems before two-step; allow calculators for checking only. - Pair students for peer modeling demonstrations.

Extension activities (for advanced learners): - Create and solve a two-step word problem that uses adding and subtracting decimals (include money and distance). - Convert a decimal sum into fraction form and compare models.

Dyslexia-friendly reading options: Use larger font, extra spacing, and color-coded place-value columns; read problems aloud; provide audio recordings of the question set.

Reminder: Show your models clearly—grids, columns, or sketches count as part of your answer.
