"May
I
take
your
order,
please?"
was
heard
throughout
the
classroom
as
fourth
grade
students
at
Ashland
Elementary
School
took
part
in
the
Decimal
Diner.
Students
were
hungry
for
the
opportunity
to
put
their
newly
acquired
math
skills
to
use
in
a
fun
and
engaging
way."I really liked watching the kids interact with each other, being able to talk to one another, take each other's orders, and ask each other questions. I was also able to see the math that they were doing. Adding and subtracting decimals and checking their work with the calculators. I could see their success," shared Melissa Peppy, fourth grade teacher at Ashland Elementary.
View the below video see how the Decimal Diner provided students with a real-life scenario to practice adding and subtracting decimals.
