Math
We counted forward and backwards by hundredths today. The problem today was a bit of a challenge for many of you so please review the different strategies on the YELLOW sheets in your MathUP duotang. No assigned exercises as we ran out of time.

Try these questions. They are very similar to the question today.

Grade 4:
Cole and Domenic are counting decimal TENTHS. Both students ended at 2.6. Cole counted up by tenths to 2.6 and Domenic counted backward by tenths to 2.6. Domenic said half as many numbers as Cole. List at 4 starting points.
Here are some blocks and number lines to help:

Grade 5:
Genevieve and Violet are counting decimal HUNDREDTHS. Both students ended at 3.16. Genevieve counted up by hundredths to 3.16 and Violet counted backward by hundredths to 3.16. Violet said half as many numbers as Genevieve. List 4 starting points. Make some starting points close to 3.16 and some far away from 3.16.
