Rio's Hundredths Dash: Write Decimals

Race along with Rio to write tenths and hundredths as decimals. Students read shaded 10-by-10 grids, write each part as a fraction and as a decimal, build decimals with base-ten blocks (a flat is 1 whole), and see that 0.5 and 0.50 name the same amount. Every direction is narrated, and wrong answers get a spoken hint.
