Math LO: I can compare decimals.
Activity: Although we took the decimals test last week - we are not ready to move on.  On the test there were very wordy problems, similar to what they will see on KPrep.  I felt we needed more time to focus on solving these problems, not just knowing the algorithm. :)  So, we worked hard on some sample questions.
