Solve multi-step real-world problems involving money using decimal notation
Understanding Place Value
Express how the value of a digit in a multi-digit number with decimals to the thousandths changes if the digit moves one or more places to the left or right
Reading and Writing Decimals to Thousandths
Read and write multi-digit numbers with decimals to the thousandths using standard form, word form and expanded form
Comparing and Ordering Decimals
Compose and decompose multi-digit numbers with decimals to the thousandths in multiple ways using the values of the digits in each place. Demonstrate the compositions or decompositions using objects, drawings and expressions or equations
Multiplying Multi-Digit Whole Numbers
Multiply multi-digit whole numbers including using a standard algorithm with procedural fluency
Multiplying Multi-Digit Whole Numbers and Dividing with Two-Digit Divisors
Divide multi-digit whole numbers, up to five digits by two digits, including using a standard algorithm with procedural fluency. Represent remainders as fractions
Adding and Subtracting Decimals
