TEACHER NOTES:

During fifth grade, students should have numerous opportunities to read and record whole, fraction and decimal numbers. These experiences should be within natural contexts as well as during math instruction time.

Students should use models and other strategies to represent and study decimal numbers, including number lines and money.

Students can investigate decimal numbers on a calculator by counting by tenths, adding one tenth each time and watching the display to see how and where the quantity display changes.
