Model for your young mathematicians the process for converting repeating decimals to fractions. To demonstrate their understanding of the process, class members then complete and assessment task and participate in an activity matching...

Develop a process with your classes for converting repeating decimals to fractions. Through this process, pupils understand that any repeating decimal can be written as a fraction. The 10th lesson in this 25-part module helps...

Trying to get your class to think of decimals as fractions and vice versa can lead to interesting discussions. After all, we can usually understand quickly that 1/4 is .25 but why is 1/7 not so easy to convert? This activity looks...

Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...

Students explore number sense by creating a math presentation in class. In this parts of a whole lesson, students define and discuss the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages before completing a problem worksheet in...

Explore the patterns of fractions that produce finite and infinite decimals. The sixth lesson plan of the series asks learners to determine a similar feature of fractions that produce finite decimals. Using the patterns, pupils create...

Develop your pupils' understanding of fractions and their decimal equivalence using the 12th lesson in this series. Scholars learn an alternative to long division that results in converting fractions to decimals that emphasize fractional...

Students convert between fractions, decimals and percents. In this algebra lesson, students reduce and rewrite the same quantity three different ways. They relate percents, decimals and fractions to the real world.

An extensive lesson explores equivalent fractions and is intended for three 60-minute periods. Young mathematicians compare and order fractions with like and unlike denominators. Included are worksheets, assessments, and answer sheets;...

Find patterns in the process instead of the result. Learners convert series of decimals and fractions identifying patterns along the way. The lesson includes nine problem tasks with progressively more involved patterns.

Conquer any irrational fears you might have of irrational numbers. As class members investigate how to represent numbers geometrically, they learn about rational and irrational numbers, including approximating and ordering rational...

Kids love to cook! What is a better place to learn mixed numbers than with a recipe? It is up to learners to decide how they want to divide this recipe in half. They may choose to model the mixed number and then divide the model by two....

Is it possible to add infinitely long decimals? As pupils complete the examples in the ninth instructional activity of this 25-part series, they determine that adding these decimals cannot be done without error. Their task is then to...

Sixth graders examine making smaller parts out of fractions and decimals. In this online interactive fractions, decimals, and percents lesson, 6th graders represent fractions with denominators of ten. Students then represent powers of 10...

Assess pupil understanding of rational and irrational numbers with a mid-module assessment that is the 15th lesson in the 25-part series. The questions represent the objectives in the first half of the series. Topics include decimal...

Students explore the concept of equivalency. In this equivalents lesson, students use pennies to show equivalency as they divide them into groups. Students also convert the pencils into decimals and fractions.

Learners solve problems involving fractions, decimals and percents. In this algebra lesson, students examine the relationship between fractions and percents and between decimals and percents. They convert between percents, decimals and...

Students multiply decimals and/or mixed numbers. They explore the effects of multiplying decimals and mixed numbers. They practice estimating answers when a number is multiplied by a decimal or mixed number.

Two methods are always better than one! The eighth installment in this series asks pupils to convert decimals to fractions using two approaches. Individuals first use the more traditional approach of long division and then use reverse...

Students solve problems with percents, decimals and fractions. In this algebra instructional activity, students convert between fractions, percents and decimals. They estimate their answers and calculate their answer.

Students investigate the concept of fraction and tangible application. In this algebra lesson, students use fractions to solve real life scenarios. They convert between fractions and decimals and identify the numerator and denominator.

Learners graph and order numbers using a number line. They also solve word problems using fractions and decimals and rewrite equations to solve problems correctly. Several example word problems are given. 

Determine the level of understanding of decimal and fraction values within your classes with a resource that provides pupils with opportunities to practice with decimal and fraction concepts. 

Build a solid understanding of rational number relationships by asking class members to use various skills to order decimals, fractions, and numeric power expressions. Using the resource, they find that the fractions do not have an...
