Math- continue unit 5: In this unit, students use place value understanding to round, compare, order, add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals. Section B: Add and Subtract Decimals In this section, students add and subtract decimals to the hundredths. Initially, students add and subtract in ways that make sense to them. This allows students to relate addition and subtraction of decimals to operations with whole numbers. Students also use place value reasoning to estimate the value of sums and differences. Section C: Multiply Decimals In this section, students multiply decimals with products up to hundredths. Students initially multiply decimals in ways that make sense to them. Area diagrams were used to make sense of fraction multiplication in earlier units, and they are used here as a familiar representation to make sense of decimal multiplication. They use the diagrams to relate multiplying with whole numbers to multiplying with decimals.
