The document outlines the agenda and objectives for a math class. It will include: 1) Discussing and working through homework problems converting fractions to decimals. 2) Practicing recognizing equivalent decimals by showing examples on grid paper and explaining whether decimals represent equal amounts. 3) Assigning homework on equivalent decimals problems and word problems.

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.
• Example: What are the decimals for these grids?

6. Equivalent Decimals
• Do these grids show equivalent
decimals?
– Explain your answer.

7. Equivalent 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
0.3 and 0.31 are not equivalent
decimals.
