5.NBT.A.3

Read and write decimals to thousandths using standard form, word form, and expanded notation (e.g., the expanded notation of 347.392 is written as (3 x 100) + (4 x 10) + (7 x 1) + (3 x (1/10)) + (9 x (1/100)) + (2 x (1/1000))). Compare two decimals to thousandths based on meanings of the digits in each place and use the symbols >, =, and < to show the relationship.
