PRODUCT SUMMARY
Like fractions, decimals and percents are other ways of naming parts of a whole. In Decimals & Percents, students will discover that decimals name numbers that are less than one and learn that percents compare numbers with 100. Is .25 larger or smaller than .4? Tenths grids, hundredths grids and number lines come to the rescue and are also used to identify decimals and demonstrate adding and subtracting. Kids also discover that it pays to understand all about decimals and decimal points when dealing with money. From pieces of a chocolate bar to the price of a movie ticket, decimals and percents are a big part of everyday life! Part of the multivolume Math for Children Video Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
