Decimals: Tenths and Hundredths

A grid can be used to show tenths and hundredths.  To show 0.3 you would shade 3 out of the 10 parts.  To show 0.30 you would shade 30 out of the 100 parts.  One part of the hundredths grid can be compared to a penny, since one part of the grid is equal to 0.01 and a penny is equal to one hundredth of a dollar.

Sioux Native Americans--Buffalo Hunt "Dances with Wolves"

Sioux Native Americans--Scene from "Dances with Wolves"

In the beginning of "Dances with Wolves," John Dunbar has stereotypes about the Sioux.  Without having ever met a Native American, he believes that they are "savages, beggars, and thieves." Similarly, some of the Sioux believe John Dunbar is untalented, ignorant, and uncoordinated.  They learn, however, how to be open-minded and find out that none of their beliefs original beliefs were true.

We realize how important it is to learn about other people and cultures that may seem different than our own.  Often times, people are prejudice because they don't know any better.  We discussed how this is why education and open-mindedness are so important.
