The purpose of this task is to present students with a context where they need to explain why two simple fractions are equivalent and are most appropriate for instruction. Students can illustrate the fact that the two fractions are...

Explains how to find a common denominator between two rational expressions and how to reduce a fraction that involves factoring. There are example problems solved, problems for the student to attempt, and answers to the student problems....

In this interactive, use logic to solve riddles involving flea circus high jumps. Then, add two consecutive jumps and place them on a vertical number line. This often requires you to find equivalent fractions with common denominators....

In this interactive, use logic to solve riddles involving a jumping frog contest. Add two consecutive jumps by one frog and place the jumps on the number line, finding equivalent fractions with common denominators to do so. Numbers are...

Compare a division problem with whole numbers to a similar problem about dividing fractions in this interactive from KET. Students watch a video of a peer talking about a fraction problem that involves equal groups, with the number of...

This task challenges students to demonstrate understanding of the relationships between fractions, decimals and percents.

Sixth graders participate in several activities to practice operations with decimals, fractions, and the distributive property.

The purpose of this instructional task is to motivate a discussion about adding fractions and the meaning of the common denominator. The different parts of the task have students moving back and forth between the abstract representation...

The purpose of this task is to provide students with an opportunity to explain fraction equivalence through visual models in a particular example. Part (c) should be approached as a discussion before students are asked to write an...

In this lesson plan, 7th graders determne how to find the repeating decimal using multiplication.

In this interactive, use logic to solve riddles involving a wallaby jumping contest. Add two consecutive jumps and place them on a number line, finding equivalent fractions and common denominators to do so. Backward jumps represent...

Given a set of fractions students will be able to compare unit fractions by using models to determine that the more equal parts there are in the whole, the smaller each part will be. This instructional activity includes a detailed plan,...

The purpose of this task is to help learners see the connection between a/b and a/b in a particular concrete example. The relationship between the division problem 3/8 and the fraction 3/8 is actually very subtle. Aligns with 5.NF.B.3.

Convert mixed numbers or mixed fractions to decimal numbers. Mixed number to decimal calculator finds the decimal equivalent by converting a mixed number, fraction, integer or whole number to a decimal and shows the work.
