22. Use the four operations to solve measurement word problems with distance, intervals of time, liquid volume, mass of objects, and money.

a. Solve measurement problems involving simple fractions or decimals.

b. Solve measurement problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit.

c. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to "make change" in word problems involving money, which can be related to subtracting decimals to the hundredths place. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. A handout with practice problems can be printed. After utilizing this resource, the students can complete the short quiz to assess their understanding.

8. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationships between addition/subtraction and multiplication/division; relate the strategy to a written method, and explain the reasoning used.

a. Use concrete models and drawings to solve problems with decimals to hundredths.

b. Solve problems in a real-world context with decimals to hundredths.

In this lesson, students will calculate savings for different products when using coupons. They will also decide what factors will influence the choices they make when choosing products. Students will practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing monetary amounts using decimals to the hundredths place.

This lesson begins with students visiting a website that gives them practice in counting money. The second site goes one step further in that students are given opportunities to make change for make-believe purchases. This lesson will help students practice solving word problems involving money using the four mathematical operations.

22. Use the four operations to solve measurement word problems with distance, intervals of time, liquid volume, mass of objects, and money.

a. Solve measurement problems involving simple fractions or decimals.

b. Solve measurement problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit.

c. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.

In this interactive activity, students will be led through steps to order whole numbers on a number line. There are teaching activities as well as practice activities available. The key concepts addressed include whole number, range, span, interval, and number line. A handout with the practice activities is available to print. The practice activities require students to read and write up to four-digit numbers and use the four operations to solve word problems involving intervals of time.
