Unit focus

  • Students extend place value to thousandths and beyond, align decimal places, use placeholder zeros and locate values between labelled points on a number line.
  • Use this routine: Represent → Reason → Calculate → Interpret → Verify.
  • Watch for more digits means greater value: 3.407 is less than 3.42 because 3.407 < 3.420.
