Your New BFF: Decimals!
Basic Fact Fluency
Visual models such as place value charts, base-ten representations, number lines, and area models help students see how decimal operations work before transitioning to efficient procedures.
Students don’t just learn to compute with decimals. They learn to understand how decimals behave within the base-ten system and how operations change quantities.
BFF Decimals helps students develop deep conceptual understanding of decimals while building fluency with decimal operations.
Through Math Empowered’s Core Four Instructional Routines, students explore decimals by discussing patterns, modeling quantities, and reasoning about place value relationships.
Students learn to:
understand decimals as units in the base-ten place value system
compare and order decimals using place value reasoning
add and subtract decimals by composing and decomposing units
multiply decimals by connecting fraction reasoning and place value
divide decimals by decomposing units and building equal groups
