You made it through day one of our 4th grade math review! Yesterday's post talked about expanded notation and comparing and ordering numbers. Today we continue looking at the first reporting category (section) of the 4th grade curriculum, numerical representations and relationships, by examining how to round the same number to different places and relating fractions to decimals.

Now that you know the how fractions and decimals relate, try these problems from a released STAAR test.
Correct Answers
Here's a recording of the answers and explanations. Make sure you've worked out the problems yourself before watching the video.
