All groups are working on rounding decimals. We have learned a poem to help us.

Find your place
Look next door.
Five or greater
Add one more.
Four or less
Let it rest.

We have always used a number line to help with rounding numbers. 
We'll have a quiz this week. Then begin working on Powers of Ten. After completing Powers of Ten, it will be time for our first unit test. This unit test will consist of everything we've covered so far place value, rounding decimals, and powers of ten. 

We will then move along to decimal operations: adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing with decimals.
