Hi everyone,<\/p>\n
Since I’ll be away for a couple of days, I wanted to leave you with some extension work just in case you finish your comparison of decimals. Don’t want you to get bored!<\/p>\n
For this, you’ll need your list of decimals and some of those decimal square sheets I’ve photocopied.<\/p>\n
When representing decimals, we can say 0.17 is 1 tenth and 7 hundredths, but we can also say that 0.17 is 17 hundredths. See my examples below (click on them to make them bigger).<\/p>\n
What you need to do is create posters that show how your <\/strong>two and three decimal place numbers can be shown in more than one way. Working with thousandths is hard and requires accurate cutting!<\/p>\n This work isn’t required, but if you do finish it it would be nice if you could take a photo (as I have done) and put it up on your blog.<\/p>\n Have fun,
\nRob.<\/p>\n
