Represent and Compare Decimals 5.2A, 5.2B

common error patterns

  • Misidentifying place values (confusing tens with tenths, etc)
  • Misrepresenting the value of a number when a zero value is not represented in expanded notation
  • Relying on a trick to determine directionality
  • Comparing number of digits rather than values

READING

STAAR

Addition and Subtraction Decimals/Fractions

5.3K, 5.2C, 5.3A

common error patterns

  • Applying key words instead of understanding context
  • Lining up the decimal point incorrectly

Solving Multiplication/Division Decimals/Fractions

5.3EGL, 5.3DFIJ

common error patterns

  • Misunderstanding the value of the whole when using an area model to represent multiplication of tenths
  • Confusing whole number division models with decimal division models
  • Aligning decimals (Rather than numerals) when multiplying
  • Applying key words instead of understanding context
  • Forgetting the correct placement of the decimal in the quotient when dividing decimals
