Today we started by reviewing adjusting the value of digits to create a new number. We discovered that you can tell how many places a digit will move by the number of zeros in the "clue". For example, in the number 2.345 if you want the value of the 4 to be 10 times more it will move 1 place to the left because there is one zero in the number 10. We also found the pattern that when the "clue" is adjusting by a fraction that the digit will move to the right because the value is getting smaller.
The remaining time in class was used to model decimal values on a hundredths or thousandths grid. We also worked on naming our numbers in many ways including equivalent decimals, fractions and by splitting up the number into its place value (expanded form, which we will focus on tomorrow).
