Warm-up

The opening five minutes — a scene that sparks curiosity

Birth of a numberThe Birth of Decimal Notation

Open with The Birth of Decimal Notation. Ask students what they notice and what question the resource raises before introducing the formal idea.

Explore

Core lesson — students manipulate, notice, and explain

MathematicianSimon Stevin

Let students explore Simon Stevin, then ask them to describe the pattern, argument, or representation in their own words.

Birth of a numberThe Birth of Rational Numbers

Let students explore The Birth of Rational Numbers, then ask them to describe the pattern, argument, or representation in their own words.

Extend

Extension or assignment — for students ready to go further

ConceptContinued Fractions

Use Continued Fractions as an extension or assignment that connects the lesson to a broader mathematical story.

MathematicianRichard Dedekind

Use Richard Dedekind as an extension or assignment that connects the lesson to a broader mathematical story.
