Instructor Information: Brigette SouthernBS06074@georgiasouthern.edu678-988-6747

Online Hours: Monday-Friday 4:30-8:00pmCourse Title: Decimal MathCourse Description: Students will learn skills involving decimals including place value, rounding, addition, subtractions, multiplication, and division.

Course Objectives:By the end of this course, students will be able to:

- Identify place and value in numbers from the millions to the thousandths place.- Understand that a digit is 1/10 the value of that same digit in the place to the

left.- Understand that a digit is 10 times the value of that same digit in the place to the

right.- Add decimals to the hundredths place.- Subtract decimals to the hundredths place.- Multiply decimals to the hundredths place- Write a number in word, standard, and expanded form to the thousandths place

Standards:- MGSE5.NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place

represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.

- MGSE5NBT.3 Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths. a. Read and write decimals to thousandths using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form, e.g., 347.392 = 3 × 100 + 4 × 10 + 7 × 1 + 3 × (1/10) + 9 x (1/100) + 2 × (1/1000). b. Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

- MGSE5.NBT.4 Use place value understanding to round decimals up to the hundredths place.

- MGSE5.NBT.7 Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
