Unit of Inquiry
Today we continued working on our summative. For our ancient civilization summative, students will be required to re-create an ancient artifact from one of the three civilization we learned about. An information package and rubric was sent home. We will begin our in-class summative on Monday, November 19th and the due date will be Thursday, November 29th. A kind reminder that all work is to be completed during class time only, unless other wise stated.

Today in Math we focused on rounding decimals to the nearest whole, tenth and hundredths. We reviewed our rounding rules. 0-4 = round down and 5 and above (9) = round up. We also went over that if there is a number like 15.47 then you would look at the number next to the 4, which is 7 and it will tell you to round up to make 15.5.
Points to remember:
4.9 = 4 and 9/10 (tenths)
4.99 = 4 and 99/100 (hundredths)
4.999 = 4 and 99/1000 (thousandths)
¼ = 0.25
½ = 0.50
¾ = 0.75
- 2.25 million is written in standard form as
2, 250, 000.
As a decimal we write it as 2.25 million (2 whole million + 0.25 million) and as a fraction it is ¼ of a million (25 is ¼ of 100).
