standard_description: Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Fill in the following blanks to make true statements. Use base ten blocks to help you.
1 thousand is the same as _______ hundreds.
1 hundred is the same as _______ tens.
1 ten is the same as _______ ones.
1 one is the same as _______ tenths.
b.   Below is an area model that represents 1 one. It is partitioned into tenths. Partition it to show what you would expect the next smallest unit to look like so that it continues the pattern in Part (a).

c.   Use what you notice in Part (a) and (b) to write a similar sentence that starts “1 tenth is the same as…”
Problem 2
The shaded part of this diagram represents 1 hundredth. We can write this as the fraction
$$\frac{1}{100}$$
or as the decimal
0.01.
