Unit of Inquiry

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

Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today we explored ordering and comparing
decimals. There are 3 ways we can do this; using base ten blocks, using a place
value chart and using a number line.
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.
Exploring
thousands
and writing them as fractions and decimals. We used a place value chart to help
us.

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.
