Homework for Monday, October 21

There are two assignments tonight!  
1) Assignment: 3 Interviews and 1 Teaching Moment
 The Interviews - 
You are to interview 3 different people and ask them, "How do you define a decimal number?"
- You are to write down who they are along with their explanation (do not worry whether or not they are correct).
- You are not to interview other NOVA students (unless it's your sibling) or Mr. Gacek, Mr. Kehoe, or Mo.  You may use AT MOST one NOVA teacher.
 The Teaching Moment - 
You are to explain in your own words, using illustrations and examples as needed, why it is necessary to line up the decimal when adding.  Assume that you are teaching this skill to someone who either does not know or remember how to add decimal numbers.  
*Turn this all in on one piece of paper; you may type or write the responses.  Make sure that it is organized in a way I can read it!
2) Assignment: Lesson 5.1
Convert the measurements as directed using the tables.  
*You may NOT use a calculator!
Both of these assignments are DUE WEDNESDAY
