A rational number is a ratio of two integers. Discuss with your class how to convert the rational numbers of repeating decimals to fractions. A good commentary on letting x equal the repeating decimal and multiplying each side of...

Use powers of 10 to convert between fractions and decimals. Pupils convert decimals to fractions by using place values in the 13th installment of a 25-part series. Class members reverse the process and find equivalent fractions with a...

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 instructional activity in this series. Scholars learn an alternative to long division that results in converting fractions to decimals that...

Convert fractions that cannot be written with a denominator that is a power of 10. Pupils use the definition of a fraction and long division to convert fractions to decimals, then discover that some divisions terminate and others...

It is all about being equivalent. Class members convert between fractions, decimals, and percents. By using visual models, scholars verify their conversions in the 25th portion of a 29-part series.

Learners convert decimals into fractions using tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. In this decimal to fraction conversion worksheet, students use knowledge of place values, as well as whole and mixed numbers to change the given list of...

Students examine how to convert fractions into decimals and percents. They work with base ten blocks and a worksheet to color in parts of 100 and renaming the parts as decimals and fractions.

Extend percent understandings to include percents less than one and greater than 100. A great instructional activity has pupils build upon their knowledge of percents from sixth grade. They convert between fractions, decimals, and...

How much is owed? A calculated resource introduces the simple interest formula with a video that describes how to use it. Classmates then show what they know by answering questions within a simple interest worksheet.

Seventh graders take a simple fraction and give it decimal form either by the use of equivalent fractions or division with a calculator.

Young mathematicians represent recorded information in decimal form. In this decimals lesson, learners play a "classroom friendly" basketball game in which pupils take 10 shots. Number of shots made out of 10 is recorded as a fraction...

Seventh graders convert fractions and decimals to percents. Using measuring cups, 7th graders model fraction/percent equivalents. They discuss how to change a decimal to a percent. Using the white boards, students review the different...

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...

We see percents everywhere! Building a solid understanding of their meaning is important to future mathematics, but also as citizens. Young scholars practice rewriting decimals, percents, and fractions. They also determine percents of a...

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...

What happens when combining percentage discounts? The last lesson in a series of 29 introduces the idea of combining discounts one after another. Pupils wrestle with the claim that to find the total discount, they need to only add...

Students demonstrate some common operations done while using fractions based upon mathematical standards. They are also changing common fractions to decimals with estimation skills and the use of a calculator.
