Math
Decimal test on Monday.....

  • Representing decimals on a number line (tenths grade 4, hundredths grade 5)
  • Expressing decimals are fractions and mixed numbers and vice versa
  • Representing decimals as part of an area (whole)
  • Representing decimals on a place value chart
  • Counting by decimals forwards and backwards  (tenths grade 4, hundredths grade 5)
  • Representing decimals using base ten blocks 
  • Knowing if the decimal is closer to 0, 1/2 or 1 (grade 4)
  • Knowing which whole number a decimal greater than one is closer to e.g. is 2.3 closer to 2, 2 1/2 or 3
  • Writing decimals in words
  • Regrouping decimal place value e.g. 1.2 = 1 one + 2 tenths or 12 tenths  / 1.89 = 1 one + 8 tenths + 9 hundredths or 189 hundredths
This last one is very important. Remember...
1 whole = 10 tenths
1 whole = 100 hundredths 
1 tenth = 10 hundredths


Study the yellow pages and review homework questions.
