Math

We are taking a bit of a right turn from measurement to learn about DECIMALS. Today we talked about a decimal being part of a whole and the tenths and hundredths place value. My apologies to those with homework from Math Quest. I said I would scan the page for you, but unfortunately all the books went home. I do have a copy at home, but I won't be able to post it until later. If you don't finish tonight, please make sure you complete it during bell work in the morning. DO NOT FORGET A MATH QUEST BOOK AT HOME.

When you read decimal numbers, the decimal is read as "and". So 3.87 is three and eighty-seven hundredths. You should be able to express a decimal in:

1. Standard Form

2. Expanded Form

3. Words

4. Expanded form words

5. Number line

6. Base-ten blocks

Grade 4s practice expressing 7.2 all six ways, grade 5s practice with 3.01
