The student will ...
- 3-31 add and subtract with decimals expressed as tenths, using concrete materials and paper and pencil
Fractions and Mixed Numbers
The student will ...
- 3-32 identify fractions represented by drawings or concrete materials to ninths, and represent a given fraction using both concrete materials and symbols
- 3-33 identify numerator and denominator
