33. MCC4.NF.7 Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.

34. Find the tenths square that has.6 shaded. Describe the hundredths square with the same amount shaded and write it’s decimal. Equality of Decimals

35. Find the hundredths square with 45 parts shaded and write its decimal. We can also think of this decimal as 4 tenths and 5 hundredths, since the first 4 columns have the same amount of shading as 4 columns on a tenths square.
