Skill Review for the week of March 23, 2020
This week we will review reading, writing, and comparing decimals.
Get a deck of cards. Take out all the aces and face cards. (If you don't have a deck of cards then just create your own cards of 1 through 10!) You can do each activity every day or pick a few to do each day.
1. Pick two cards. Create a hundredth decimal. Read the decimal. Repeat 5 times. As a challenge pick four cards and create decimals that have whole numbers, tenths, hundredths, or thousandths. For example, if I pick the numbers 4, 7, 3, and 9, I can create the number 7.945. I would read it as 7 and 9 hundred forty five thousandths.
2. Pick three cards. Create a thousandths decimal. Pick another three cards. Create another thousandths decimal. Compare the decimals using <, >, and +. Read the number sentence out loud. Repeat 5 times. For a challenge, create numbers using 4 cards. Put the decimal wherever you want!
3. Using the numbers you created above, round the decimals to the nearest tenth, hundredth, and/or thousandth!
