Decimals!

The sixth grade students are deep into our Decimals unit. So far, they have written out decimals in word form and numbers, and practiced using a cm ruler to write "how many hundredths of a meter" objects are. We will continue by ordering decimals by their amounts, least to greatest or greatest to least. Later in the week we will start rounding decimals. We will use the same techniques as originally taught. Students will be asked to underline the number in the place value they are told to round to, and arrow forward from the number that tells them to round up or stay the stay. They SHOULD NEVER round down, ONLY up or stay the same.
