All About

Decimals
 By the end of this week…

• I can read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths.

• I can read and write decimals to thousandths using base ten numerals,
number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10
+ 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 × (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000).
• I can compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the
digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of
comparisons.
