Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a instructional activity that begins with a mixed review, then goes into a three problem guided practice, and ends with a collaborative activity. The guided practice and activity portion of the instructional activity supports instruction of how to represent a fraction on a model and number line, and as a decimal.
