Math
Math
In this chapter, students will focus on place value relationships, writing different forms of a number, finding powers of ten, comparing decimals, and rounding decimals. By using a place-value chart, students will apply patterns of ten to decimal relationships to read and write decimals to the thousandths in different forms. Various representations of numbers are written in standard form, word form, and expanded form. Students will use repeated reasoning to compare digits in one place to the next and understand that the patterns of 10 apply to both whole numbers and decimals. Studentws will use their understanding of place value and the number line to compare and round decimal numbers.
