Here are the things you need to study and be confident with before your test tomorrow

• Numbers in Standard Form -- For example 8 quarters, 3 dimes & 6 pennies = $2.36
• Fractions to Decimals -- For example 516/1000 = 0.516 or 516/100 = 5.16
• Greater Than or Less Than -- Use >, <, or =
• Order Decimals to the Hunderdths  -- For example, 0.57, 0.578, 0.55, 0.5 from greatest to least is 0.578, 0.57, 0.55, 0.5
• Give a Decimal, Mixed Fraction and Picture to Match a Word Form  -- For example, three and fifty six hundredths is 3.56, 3 56/100 + Picture)
• Rounding Decimals to the Hundredths ( 21.389 rounded to the nearest ones = 21, 21.389 rounded to the nearest tenths = 21.4, 21.389 rounded to the nearest hunderedths = 21.39)
• Estimating Sums and Differences to the Nearest Whole Number -- For example, 8.67+9.35 = 18
