Students drag numerals to create decimal numbers to create the largest and smallest decimal numbers, and closest decimal numbers to given whole numbers.
This practical task requires students to order numbers with 2 decimal places from smallest to largest using digit cards. New numbers with 2 decimal places are then created with the digit cards.
Students demonstrate their understanding of place value by identifying smallest and largest 3-digit money values, and by calculating the number of 10s in given amounts.
Using given times for sprinting and given weights of fish, students order the decimal numbers to give the fastest three times and the three heaviest fish.
