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...

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...

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...

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...

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 solve word problems using number sense. They convert fractions to decimals and mixed numbers. Pupils determine if a given fraction is greater or less than another fraction, and order numbers on a number line.

Young mathematicians represent recorded information in decimal form. For 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...

Ddefine the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percentages in a series of lessons. The class practices converting between these three versions of a number. They also find the common factor of a numerator and denominator and...

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.

Explore rational numbers with the young mathematicians in your class. They will investigate decimals, fractions, and percents before ordering and comparing rational numbers. This multi-day unit includes differentiation activities and...

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,...

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

Knowing the standard algorithm opens up a whole new world of division. Scholars learn how to convert division involving decimals to division involving whole numbers to use the standard algorithm. Knowing how to multiply with powers of...

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.

Students convert decimals into fractions using tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. For 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...

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

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...

In this expressing percent as fraction or decimal worksheet, 6th graders use the computer program Understanding Percent for instruction, then practice simplifying fractions and converting percents to fractions and decimals.
