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...

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

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

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...

Fifth graders study probability of events. They predict outcomes, and participate in hands-on experiments to find the probability of specified events. Afterward, 5th graders write probability of events in fractions and decimals.

Students take an Internet field trip to research fractions. ESOL strategies include using pattern block manipulatives and pairing ESOL and non-ESOL students on computers.
