The first standard in number and operations is Grade 3-5 g. develop and use strategies to estimate computations involving fractions and decimals in situations relevant to student’s experiences. The students had to estimate how many items and which items they could buy. They had to estimate the prices by using numbers with decimals and figuring out what the price was closer to in whole numbers. The second standard was h, use visual models, benchmarks, and equivalent forms to add and subtract commonly used fractions and decimals.
