About This Product
Here is a fun way for your grade 5 learners to practice or review their skills with decimals. This set of 20 task cards is designed to give 5th graders the opportunity to identify place value to the right of a decimal, add and subtract decimals, identify decimals using base 10 blocks, and solve word problems involving decimals. Each concept is aligned with current mathematics standards and the word problems include real-world scenarios. This activity is a great way to round out your unit on decimals and give your learners the opportunity to get up and moving while working on essential math skills.
