There is a family activity for sorting decimals and fractions tonight. The students did it in class, now you can do it at home (just to see what we do in math!). My picture hasn't come through, but the cards should sort like this(card letter or number): (A, 5, 13) (B, 3, 8, 12) (C, 6, 14) (D, 4, 15) (E, 2, 11) and (F, 1, 7, 9, 10).
The classes also wrote three rules to remember when adding or subtracting decimals. First, write the problem vertically (this helps with the second step). Second, when you write the problem, line those decimals and place value up correctly. Third, be sure to carry the decimal point straight down into the answer.
