We discuss a learning path for decimal algorithms based on the Common Core State Standards (CSSS) progressions and the NCTM publication Focus in Grade 5. This learning path emphasizes decimals as extending the base-ten system and decimal algorithms as related to and extending whole-number algorithms. We will also highlight opportunities for engaging in the CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice.
