Unit 5: Place Value Patterns and Decimal Operations

Students extend place value understanding to recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right. They use this to round, compare, order, add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals.
