Included Skills:

Demonstrate understanding of decimals to thousandths by:
• describing and representing
• relating to fractions
• comparing and ordering.
• Tell a story (orally, in writing, or through movement) that explains what a concrete or pictorial representation of a part of a set, part of a region, or part of a unit of measure illustrates and record the quantity as a decimal.
• Represent concretely or pictorially a decimal identified in a situation relevant to self, family, or community.
• Recognize and generate equivalent forms (decimal or fraction) of fractions and decimals found in situations relevant to one's life, family, or community.
• Demonstrate, using concrete or pictorial models to explain, how a quantity in tenths or hundredths can also be recorded as hundredths or thousandths (e.g., 0.2 can be written as 0.200).
• Describe the quantity represented by each digit in a given decimal.
• Make and test conjectures about the relationship of equality of quantities written in decimal and fractional form (e.g., 0.7 and 7/10) and verify concretely, pictorially, or logically.

• Use and explain personal strategies for writing fractions with a denominator of 10, 100, or 1000 as a decimal.
• Explain, by providing examples, how to write decimals as a fraction with a denominator of 10, 100, or 1000.
• Identify benchmarks on a number line that could be used to order a given set of decimals and explain the choices made.
• Use benchmarks to order a set of decimals from a situation related to one's life, family, or community.
