  • Recognize that humans need resources found on Earth, and that these resources are either renewable or nonrenewable.
Learning Targets and Learning Criteria

 

The students will:

• Identify models of tenths and hundredths.
• Write tenths and hundredths as equivalent fractions and decimals.
• Explain how to compare two decimals.
• Apply understanding of decimals to solve money problems.

•    Define resources as anything from the environment that meets our needs and wants.
•    Provide examples of renewable resources (e.g., water, wind, solar, trees).
