In this algebra worksheet, students complete 30 computation problems involving fractions, decimals and (or) exponents. They change 4 fractions to decimals and factor 6 whole number to primes.

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.

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...

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

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.

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

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...

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...

Fifth graders describe parts of a whole as a fraction, decimal and a percent. In this math instructional activity, 5th graders practice converting fractions to decimals by dividing. Additionally, students explain how decimals are...

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...

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...

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.
