Expectations in This Standard
5.NR.4 is a Georgia mathematics standard. These are the expectations under it.
- 5.NR.4.1
Read and write decimal numbers to the thousandths place using base-ten numerals written in standard form and expanded form.
- 5.NR.4.2
Represent, compare, and order decimal numbers to the thousandths place based on the meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record th...
- 5.NR.4.3
Use place value understanding to round decimal numbers to the hundredths place.
- 5.NR.4.4
Solve problems involving addition and subtraction of decimal numbers to the hundredths place using a variety of strategies.

What This Cluster Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students read and write decimals in standard, word, and expanded form through thousandths. They compare and order values, then round to two decimal places. They choose and carry out decimal operations to solve money, measurement, and other word problems.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can explain why 3.405 is greater than 3.399 and can round a decimal accurately. The student chooses the correct operation for a money or measurement problem, computes correctly, labels the answer, and checks whether it is reasonable.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may say 0.7 is less than 0.48 because 7 is less than 48. They may think trailing zeros change a decimal’s value or align digits instead of decimal points during calculations. When rounding, they may check the wrong digit or guess where to place the decimal in a product or quotient.
How to Assess It
- Give this exit ticket: write 4.307 in words and expanded form, compare 4.307 and 4.37, round 6.285 to hundredths, then find the cost of three notebooks at $2.45 each. Ask students to explain one answer using place value.

Ways to Teach It
Give pairs place-value mats and digit cards; have them build, read, compare, and round six decimals, including examples with interior and trailing zeros.
Prompt: “Is 2.5 greater than 2.49? Explain with a place-value chart, words, or a number line.”
Play Decimal Operation Bingo: call out addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems using hundredths; students cover the matching answers.
Use a grocery receipt to estimate the total, calculate the exact total and change, then explain whether each answer is reasonable.
