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...

Kids love to cook! What is a better place to learn mixed numbers than with a recipe? It is up to learners to decide how they want to divide this recipe in half. They may choose to model the mixed number and then divide the model by two....

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

In order to create some tasty fudge, learners must adapt a recipe. Using a recipe for fudge, ingredients must be correctly converted using fractions. If one fraction is incorrect, the fudge will reveal it! Although you will only make one...

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....

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...

Students work together to build models of prairie plants. Using the model, they estimate the height and then measure them using metric and standard units. They write a fraction to represent their part of the whole set and compare and...

Students investigate the concept of fraction and tangible application. In this algebra lesson plan, students use fractions to solve real life scenarios. They convert between fractions and decimals and identify the numerator and denominator.

Students are read a book and discuss what is meant by different fractions. Using the internet, they practice converting fractions into decimals. In groups, they create their own line fraction after watching a demonstration by the teacher.

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...

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.

Sixth graders inspect M&M's to complete statistical data. Students interpret percent of colors represented. They convert data from decimals, fractions, and percents. Using the data, 6th graders create a bar graph and a circle graph.

Students calculate the ratio and apply it to construction. In this geometry lesson, students convert between different units and use decimals and fractions interchangeable. They find the fraction of a given amount using the calculator.

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.

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.

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.

Students, through lecture and guided practice, discover the properties of similar triangles. They use given measurements of one triangle to find a missing measurement of a similar triangle. They apply this knowledge in real-life...
