To help students visualize how to order fractions and decimals this teacher uses a clever story. The animation used is very bright and the context of the story may be a great way to help students understand why convert a fraction into a...

Comparing fractions, it is just not the same as comparing whole numbers. The video starts with fractions with common denominators and moves on to comparing fractions that are not as obvious. Scholars learn two techniques, cross...

Many young mathematicians skip problems like this because they just don't want to do the work to figure it out. A series of fractions and decimal numbers that they have to put in some order. So they have to do some converting and if long...

Two fractions with unlike denominators. Compare and figure out which one is greater. There are a couple of ways to do this. This time change the fractions to decimals to compare. Once the values are found, they can also be plotted on a...

Trying to decide which method to use to compare the value of two fractions? You could find a common denominator, you could turn them into decimals, or you could cross multiply. Let's cross multiply because we like to multiply more than...

Who made more money in the stock market, Brad or Ariel? Brad's stock went up, but Ariel's stock fluctuated up and down. Set up an inequality to solve this one. Ariel will have several terms as her stock fluctuated and Brad has a single...

A series of fractions, decimal numbers, and percentages that have to be put in some order. Many young mathematicians skip problems like this because they have to do some converting and if long division is involved many definitely skip...

There are two Khan Academy videos on representing numbers as decimals, percents, and fractions. This one shows students how to represent a fraction as a decimal and a percent. Sal demonstrates the process used to convert the fraction 7/8...

Develop ratios within sporting games. Class members watch a video about dodgeball and see how coaches compare the scores. Pupils then work with ratios to compare the scores throughout the tournament. Using their knowledge of ratios, they...

Sal defines ratios. Then he shows how to write ratios three different ways. This concept is then demonstrated with four examples for finding quantities by using ratios.

Students watch a video lesson about comparing fractions and decimals. The tutorial includes examples and a quiz follows to test students' understanding of the skill.

Become familiar with common fractions and decimals and converting between them.

It's easier to compare different types of numbers if they all are converted to one type of number. This tutorial gives an example of this involving fractions and decimals. [3:37]

This QuickTime movie provides an opportunity using a card game to convert fractions to decimals to compare their value. As you watch and listen to the teacher and students interact it helps clarify this concept.

This video provides another opportunity using a card game to convert fractions to decimals to compare their value. As you watch and listen to the teacher and students interact it helps clarify this concept. [5:15]

This is the second video of a lesson on rational numbers. Students are shown how to plot positive and negative fractions and decimals on a number line, and how to use long division to convert fractions to decimals. [8:08]

In this lesson, you will learn how to compare and order rational numbers. [4:58]

Examples of Khan Academy practice problems where you compare decimals, fractions, and number diagrams.

Sal Khan compares decimals 0.17 and 0.2 visually using grid diagrams.

To make comparing numbers easier, this tutorial demonstrates how to covert all the numbers to decimals, then plot them on a number line. [5:51]

In this lesson students learn about ordering numbers expressed as decimals, fractions, and percentages.
