M.EE.8.NS.2.a: Express a fraction with a denominator of 100 as a decimal.

Grade Level Standard

This is aligned with the following California State Standards:

  • 8.NS.2 - Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g.,?^2). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of ?2, show that ?2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.

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

Divide a set (e.g., 8 crayons) into two or more equal subsets (e.g., two subsets of 4 crayons). Demonstrate understanding of a unit fraction (e.g., 1/4) as the quantity formed by one part when a whole is partitioned into n (e.g., 4) equal parts.

Proximal Precursor

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.

Target

Represent a fraction with a denominator of 100 as a decimal (e.g., 52/100 as 0.52).

Successor

Compare two decimals to the tenths or hundredths place using symbols (i.e., =, <, >) to show that one is greater than, less than, or equal to the other.
