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...

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

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

Compare Beethoven's fifth symphony to latin music and disco. Learners will listen to and discuss the elements found in the first part of Beethoven's composition. They'll then look for the same elements in Tito Puente and Bee Gees songs....

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

Students convert between fractions and decimals. In this algebra instructional activity, students investigate fractions and differentiate between largest and smallest fractions. They add fractions and decimals using a common denominator.

Students rewrite and solve problems using mixed numbers. In this algebra lesson, students solve fractions using mixed numbers by addition and subtraction. They relate the use of mixed numbers to real life.

Learners solve problems involving tax, tips and discounts. In this algebra lesson, students convert between percents and decimals. They calculate commission using conversion from percents and fractions.

Learners measure an area given a yardstick. They also convert inches into a fractions of a foot and use data to create a linear graph.

Students convert between decimals and percents. In this algebra lesson, students define percent as it relates to sales and tax. They calculate the percents of number using multiplication.
