The Cat and the Dog

• There was a family with a big, scaredy cat and
  an obnoxious dog. The animals never liked to be
  in the same room together at the same time.
• Sometimes the cat would stay in the house by
  itself and hide behind the couch. Sometimes the
  dog would be locked outside and the cat would
  either hide behind the couch or make fun of the
  dog in the window.
• Whatever. The end.

The cat and dog are symbols for decimal
points.Look to see how they react this is how
your decimals react in your division problems

The dog is out at the park and I am alone. Life
is good!
)
When the cat (decimal) is inside the house, it is
happy. Leave it alone.

I am hereeven if you cant see me! If you want
me to come out, just ask.
)
When the cat (decimal) is hiding inside the
house, it is happy. If you need him, pull him
out from behind the couch.

I dont like that dog! It scares me! For every
step it comes near me, I am taking that number of
pounces away!
I just need to get to the front door so I can be
dry. Why does that darn cat get to stay inside?
)
The cat (decimal) is NOT happy unless the dog is
outside. The dog is NOT happy being outside.
For every step the dog takes toward the front
door, the cat will pounce a step away from the
dog.
