M.EE.7.NS.2.c-d: Express a fraction with a denominator of 10 as a decimal.

Grade Level Standard

This is aligned with the following California State Standards:

  • 7.NS.2.c - Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.
  • 7.NS.2.d - Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers. Convert a rational number to a decimal using long division; know that the decimal form of a rational number terminates in 0s or eventually repeats.

Linkage Level Descriptions

Initial Precursor

Communicate understanding of separateness by recognizing objects that are not joined together. Communicate understanding of a set by recognizing a group of objects sharing an attribute.

Distal Precursor

Recognize a set model that represents a whole.

Proximal Precursor

Recognize one-tenth in a set model. Recognize multiple tenths, such as two-tenths, five-tenths, or eight-tenths in a set model.

Target

Communicate understanding that a decimal point is a dot that separates the whole number from the fractional part of a number. Represent a fraction with a denominator of 10 as a decimal.

Successor

Communicate understanding that the value of the digit in the tenths place is worth that many tenths. Compare two decimals to the tenths place using symbols (i.e., =, <, >) to show that one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.
