The Top Ten Most Expensive Paintings ....Ever!!!
Due to the fact that paintings are always in an auction or purchased throughout the year, this year's top 10 most expensive paintings have changed. I recreated the Power Point and the student sheet. The student sheet includes decimal numbers this year because CCSS has 5th graders working with decimals at the beginning of the year.
