What resonates with me is the statement about becoming numerically flexible. My students don’t have that flexibility. They need to play more with numbers. They do not have that sense of decimals having a relationship with fractions. They prefer decimals because they don’t understand fractions when in fact fractions can be “friendlier” to use when operating in an equation.
