Daily decimals
Students have been using and seeing the decimal whenever they have used money. I challenged them to find other ways that decimals are used and how they fit into the world of mathematics. I did this because we were entering into fractions and decimals and then into adding and subtracting them. We discovered we use them in:
 * Money
 * Learning place values of decimals
 * Changing the decimals into equal fractions
 * Changing the fractions into equal decimals
 * Adding and subtracting decimals
 * Multiplying and dividing decimals
 * Scientific notation
