Decimal Foundations - Advanced

This math unit begins by familiarizing students with identifying and reading large decimal numbers on number lines. It progresses from exact identification to estimation of decimals on number lines, enhancing precision in interpreting decimal placements. Learners then shift to converting visual representations of decimal concepts from pictures to numerical decimals, specifically targeting tenths and hundredths. The unit then deepens understanding by converting fractions to their decimal forms. The focus increasingly involves comparing decimals through various engaging exercises, comparing picture decimals to numerical decimals, and across different decimal positions, using visual and numerical formats to reinforce conceptual understanding. This progression from basic identification to complex comparisons cultivates an advanced understanding of decimal concepts, essential for precise mathematical calculations and visualizations.Skills you will learn include:

• Decimals from pictures
• Decimals on number lines
• Place value of tenths and hundredths
