Math
Today we continued discussing decimal tenths. We also linked decimals to fractions (a bit of a leap for some). Several students are struggling with decimals. Please review the decimal place values. Decimals are less than 1 whole so they are to the right of the ones place. A decimal (.) separates the ones and the tenths.

If you are having difficulty, start by writing a few decimals and reading them. If you can read them correctly, then the place value is easy. The decimal is read as AND. For example:
0.7 seven tenths
9.3 nine AND three tenths

Here's a game to help with decimal place value (it does go to thousandths):
