66. Student Weaknesses Difficulty ordering decimals Relating decimals to drawn representations Relating decimals to fractions Explaining the need to “line up the decimals” for addition/subtraction. Lanchance & Confrey, 2002

67. Common Errors Treating decimals separately from fractions, ratios, & percent. Applying whole number rules Start by Counting Important source of information

68. Key Idea By building on their earlier understandings of whole number in the base ten systems and by building a strong sense of the ratios these decimal fractions express, children come to know what decimal fractions mean, gaining some sense of the power and elegance of the decimal systems along with a faculty for operating in it. Cohen, 2010
