What a coincidence!

Hey! I hope this post finds you all well!

After Adolescent Issues Forum last Wednesday, we came back to our study of decimals. Mainly we focused on comparing, ordering, and naming decimals. We even had a little mini-spelling lesson to make sure we knew how to spell our numbers correctly! :)

And today we read a story about John Napier, who just so happened to have come up with the idea of using a decimal point to separate the whole part from the fractional part of a number. Coincidence??? ;)

There are a few class docs that have been added to the wikispace, so you'll definitely want to check those out. Plus, I've reorganized the wikispace because we started to get so many documents up there! Check it out!
