Students are getting confused with the steps

-Having the number stay the same when equal and greater than 5

-Increasing by 1 if less than 5

Students end up ripping up the paper with their work and throwing it on the floor

One person gets up for tenths (with poster), sits back down and gets up again once the 2nd person gets up for hundredths (with poster), sits back down and gets up again once the the 3rd person gets up for thousandths (with poster).
