Question

How Can I Use Decimal Grids to model Tenths?

Answer 1

Understand that a decimal is any number written in the base-10 system. In common usage, the term "decimal" refers to a number that uses a decimal point to separate the ones place from tenths, hundredths, etc. Represent decimals using area models. State the fraction (tenths or hundredths) that is equivalent to a given decimal. Compare the values of decimals (tenths or hundredths) using area models and/or a number line. For example, compare the value of 0.8 and 0.21.Find a decimal that has a value between two other decimals. For example, find a decimal with a value between 0.3 and 0.4.
