You can run the pack alongside a decimals unit one case at a time, or hand it out as a complete review once the unit is finished. There are greater and lesser pages, and the rounding cases give 5th graders a decimal place value refresher before they add and subtract decimals. It also works for guided math groups, bell ringers, test prep, sub days, homeschool, early finishers, and back to school or end of year review.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade Levels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten for 4th grade, where students compare decimals to the hundredths.
