LESSON 3 Many Ways to Show a Decimal

Kid Decimals

Mrs. Dewey's class is playing Kid Decimals. These ten students are at the front of the class.

Mrs. Dewey wrote 0.4 on the board to represent part of this group.

1. Does 0.4 represent the fraction of students who are wearing glasses? Why or why not?
2. What place would the 4 go in a place value chart?
1. Name another part of this group that can be represented by 0.4.
2. What common fraction can you use to represent 0.4? What does the denominator represent? What does the numerator represent?
3. Work with a partner. Draw the table below. Fill in the table with three fractions that fit some part of the group. Use your table to play Kid Decimals with another pair of students.
