we continued working on our summative.
The summative for this unit will have students recreating an ancient
artifact from one of the civilizations we studied. Please be sure to read over
the package and sign it if you have not already. As of now, the due date of Thursday,

We also used base ten blocks to help. Please
see picture below. A fraction is written as 314/1000. We say it as
three-hundred and fourteen thousandths. The decimal would be 0.314.
As of now our test will be Friday,
December 13th.
Points to Remember
Most
large numbers are written in short form instead of having to write
the large number in standard form. For example, 5 ½ million is
written in standard form as 5, 500, 000. 42, 400, 000 can be written as the
decimal 42.4 million. Keep in mind the rounding rules; 0-4 round to the floor,
5-9 round to the sky.
