Objective: Solve word problems involving the addition of measurements in decimal form.
The addition of decimals is a Grade 5 standard. By converting addends in decimal form to fraction form, Grade 4 students strengthen their understanding both of fraction and decimal equivalence and of fraction addition. In Lesson 14, students apply this work to solve measurement word problems involving addition. They convert decimals to fraction form, solve the problem, and write their statement using the decimal form of the solution as pictured below.
