Decimal review over the Break

You have all worked so hard in Math this term - don't let it all fade over the next two weeks!

Check out this site for a quick challenge:

You should know how to express (that means to write) decimals as tenths, hundredths and thousandths. Can you compare two or three decimals, using the greater than, less than and equal signs? Take some time over the break to play around with decimals, using money as an easy resource. Half (1/2) of a dollar is 0.50 cents - you just converted a fraction to a decimal! Can you add 0.75 cents and $1.50? I bet you lined up the decimals before you added. Practice makes perfect!
