     This week in math, we will continue our work with decimals. Students will learn about the equivalence between tenths and hundredths. For example 0.1=0.10  0.5=0.50. Students will also learn how to represent decimal numbers using models (number lines, area models, tape diagrams, and with numeral disks). At the end of the week we will learn a variety of strategies for comparing decimals. Students will take a quiz on Friday.

In lesson 1, Railroads and Tourism, students will learn how the invention of the railroad led to Florida's booming tourism industry. Students will also learn more about Henry Flagler.
