Pupils explore the concept of converting decimals to fractions. In this conversion lesson, learners convert decimals to fractions.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Middle schoolers identify proper, improper fractions, and mixed numbers.  They reduce fractions to their lowest terms. They add and subtract fractions with different denominators, and multiply and divide fractions, as well as...

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...

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...

Add another strategy to the toolboxes of young mathematicians with this elementary math activity on using number lines to add and subtract fractions.

Three activities make up an introductory lesson designed to create a strong foundation in comparing fractions to decimals and exploring and building decimal models. Pupils brainstorm and complete a Venn diagram to show how decimals and...

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...

Create your own fraction kits by folding and labeling paper using fraction vocabulary. Learners then work in groups to use these in comparing and sequencing both whole numbers and fractions. They also create unit cubes and develop an...

Reinforce the concept of fractions and decimals as part of a whole with a lesson that begins with a mixed review, then goes into a three problem guided practice, and ends with a collaborative activity. The guided practice and activity...

Students convert numbers to fractions, decimals and percents.  In this conversion lesson, students convert fractions, decimals and percents to a specified form.  Groups of students play a conversion index card game.  A...

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,...

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...

Develop a definition of irrational numbers through an exploration of square roots. The 11th lesson in this series of 25 asks scholars to estimate the value of a square root. Learners observe as the estimation extends further and further...

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...

Sixth graders identify how fractions and decimals both illustrate parts of a whole. They estimate which number is greater by comparing them to the given fraction and use greater than or less than symbols for each.

Eight number lines are given, and math scholars need to place the given decimal numbers on the fraction line as accurately as possible. Each number line shows a different span of numbers. Consider having learners go through it the first...

Students explore the concept of fractions, decimals, and percents.  In this number sense lesson, students use a worksheet to guide them through the exploration of the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percents. ...

Constructing decimals correctly is a crucial concept for elementary students to grasp. Here, have the young mathematicians in your class explore standard and expanded form while comparing decimal values. This unit is taught while...
