    3. How many tiny rectangles are in the fully shaded rows? Write a decimal to represent the number of tiny rectangles in these rows.
    4. Look at the row that is partially shaded. How many squares are shaded in this row? Write a decimal to represent the number of squares that are shaded in this row.
    5. How many extra tiny rectangles are shaded in this row? Write a decimal to represent the extra tiny rectangles that are shaded in this row.
    6. Write a number sentence in expanded form to show 0.357.

       + 0.05 +  = 0.357
Jackie and Linda decided to use Grace's strategy to place 0.357 on a number line. Jackie knows that 0.357 is between 0.3 and 0.4, but if she uses tenths she will need to divide the number line into 100 small parts to find the location of 0.357.
    1. Linda suggests using hundredths to label the ends of the number line. Between which two hundredths is 0.357 located?
    2. Which point represents the location of 0.357?
