CURRENT UNIT OF STUDY: Decimal Operations - multiplication and division
The fifth graders are currently working on performing multiplication and division with decimals. We are focusing on the concept of each operation to help us have a better understanding of our work. For example, we learned where to place the decimal point in our products by using reasonableness instead of simply counting decimal places, or as we now call it, the "trick!" We have been working hard on applying these concepts to real-life problem solving situations. Feel free to have your fifth grader help you next time you are out shopping! We have been determining sale prices and what store has the best buy!
