Agenda and Objectives

2. Today’s Objectives...
• We will discuss and work through
Wednesday’s homework: converting
fractions to decimals (p. 68 & 75).
• We will practice recognizing equivalent
decimals.

3. Homework Review:
• page 68: let’s choose six to eight
problems to work through.
– take out your decimals notes sheet to help
you.
– can any of these be solved using the
“shortcut”, such as five tenths = 5/10 = 0.5

4. Homework Review
• page 75: let’s choose six to eight problems
to work through.
– can any of these be solved using the “shortcut”?
– -- look at #12, #10, #4, #8

5. Equivalent Decimals
• Equal amounts described with different
decimals.

• Use hundredths grid paper to show that
0.2 and 0.20 are equivalent decimals.
• Use hundredths grid paper to show that
0.5 and 0.50 are equivalent decimals.
• Use hundredths grid paper to show that
