5th Grade Get in on Answering a THINK too!
Posted by kylecommodoreIn math, fifth grade students are working on the Concepts of Decimals by answering a THINK!
THINK contains problems that stimulate critical thinking and may require students to use heuristics or strategies and communication skills to discover creative solutions.
Students recently had a lot of fun answering the following THINK questions :
Understanding Thousandths

place. The digit in the ones place is the least. What are the possible values of the decimal above?
Comparing, Ordering, and Rounding Decimals
Five decimals, 8.122, 8.126, 8.128, A, and B, can be ordered in various patterns. Find two possible sets of values of A and B.
Decimals, Fractions, and Mixed Numbers
Jack ordered four decimals that are in thousandths. Two of the decimals are 0.003 and 0.005. What are the possible values of the other two decimals? Draw a number line to help you.
