Overview:Students will use 5th grade knowledge to compare and order decimals in written and numeric form.  Reasonableness skills should be used in problem situations to judge sums, differences, products, and quotients of whole numbers.  With decimals, operations are limited to addition and subtraction.  Through real-life situations, students will classify numbers, including whole numbers, decimals, and integers.

Focus: Students will use their place value knowledge to solve real-life problems by performing various operations with decimals, such as converting metric units.
