The Big Idea: This week, we will focus on:
- Relating decimals to fractions (1/10 = 0.1)
- Relating tenths to hundredths (1/10 = 10/100 = 0.1 or 0.10)
- Understanding place values to the right of the decimal (tenths and hundredths)
- Writing decimals in expanded form (2.35 = 2 + 0.3 + 0.05)
- Comparing and ordering decimals
- Rounding decimals to the nearest whole number
Optional Home Practice:
