2. Today’s Objectives...
• We will discuss and work through
Wednesday’s homework: converting
fractions to decimals (p. 68 & 75).
• We will practice recognizing equivalent
decimals.
3. Homework Review:
• page 68: let’s choose six to eight
problems to work through.

– can any of these be solved using the
“shortcut”, such as five tenths = 5/10 = 0.5
