Unit of Inquiry

putting together their final presentations. Presentations will take place on
Thursday, November 28th. We are inviting Grade 5 families to join us
on Friday, November 29th from 2:30-3:15 PM for our Grade 5 Museum of

Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today we explored rounding decimals. Remember our rounding rules; 0-4 round down (keep the number the same) and 5-9 round up (change the number).
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.
Tens

Ones

Tenths

Hundredths

Thousandths

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.
There are three ways we can order and compare decimals; using base
ten blocks, using a place value chart and using a number line.
