Three activities make up an introductory lesson designed to create a strong foundation in comparing fractions to decimals and exploring and building decimal models. Pupils brainstorm and complete a Venn diagram to show how decimals and...

Mathematicians can embark on a math challenge. Fourteen pages of exercises for young algebra learners on fractions, decimals, and percentages let your students put their skills to the test.  

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...

Knowing the standard algorithm opens up a whole new world of division. Scholars learn how to convert division involving decimals to division involving whole numbers to use the standard algorithm. Knowing how to multiply with powers of...

After discussing decimals and "going shopping" in the classroom, young mathematicians are given four practical word problems that require them to estimate their answers, given specific information. The highlight of the lesson is having...

Class members come up with a hypothesis on the number of decimal digits in the product of two decimals. Learners work in groups to complete several decimal multiplication problems. The results help groups develop a conjecture on the...

Use powers of 10 to convert between fractions and decimals. Pupils convert decimals to fractions by using place values in the 13th installment of a 25-part series. Class members reverse the process and find equivalent fractions with a...

Convert fractions that cannot be written with a denominator that is a power of 10. Pupils use the definition of a fraction and long division to convert fractions to decimals, then discover that some divisions terminate and others...

In some cases, decimals are just easier to work with. An easy-to-use interactive shows how to convert percents to decimals. It then challenges learners to answer a set of questions, some of which include percents that are greater than...

A five-question interactive boosts scholars' knowledge of decimals and mixed numbers. Moveable base 10 blocks assist mathematicians in answering a series of multiple-choice and true or false questions. A discussion concludes the...

Five questions—multiple-choice, true or false, and a discussion—make up an interactive that focuses on decimals as mixed numbers. Moveable blocks assist scholars in finding solutions. 

Grasp conversion with these excellent fraction, decimal, and percent worksheets that have a graphic model of place value. Mathematicians will grasp the concept in no time.

Constructing decimals correctly is a crucial concept for elementary students to grasp. Here, have the young mathematicians in your class explore standard and expanded form while comparing decimal values. This unit is taught while...

Fifth graders describe parts of a whole as a fraction, decimal and a percent. In this math lesson, 5th graders practice converting fractions to decimals by dividing. Additionally, students explain how decimals are converted to...

A five-question interactive test scholars' knowledge of adding and subtracting decimals. A tool aids in problem-solving with movable parts that reveal addends and sums. Question types include one discussion, fill and in the blank, and...

It is all about being equivalent. Class members convert between fractions, decimals, and percents. By using visual models, scholars verify their conversions in the 25th portion of a 29-part series.

Be sure to place value on place value understanding. Young mathematicians learn to divide decimals by whole numbers when compatible numbers are not available. They use place value discs in place value charts, then connect this strategy...

Remainders don't need to remain a mystery. The 16th of 18 parts in Grade 5 Math Module 1 continues the study of dividing decimals by a whole number. Scholars see how to rename the remainder to a smaller unit, such as when dividing 1.7 or...

Model decimals and explore decimal place value with a useful printable. The worksheet showcases decimal square models representing one whole, tenths, hundredths, and thousandths.

A six-question interactive tasks mathematicians to solve addition and subtraction problems using front-end estimation. Question types consist of multiple-choice and true or false. A set of wooden beams that can be measured using moveable...

Take a little bit away. The 10th section of an 18-part unit introduces subtraction of decimals. Scholars use a place value chart like they did with addition of decimals to organize and represent the problem. After using the place value...

Load up the bus. Pupils play a game where they control a bus to pick up a certain number of monsters for school. Learners develop strategies to make sure they have a full load and score the most rewards. As scholars work through the...

There is more than one way to write a number. The lesson plan provides teachers with a way to teach reading and writing decimals to thousandths using standard, expanded, and unit forms. Pupils work through in-class and homework...

Introduces addition of decimals by using unit notation to represent the problem. Pupils use a place value chart to decompose the numbers and then add before connecting to the standard algorithm.
