Decoding Numbers Activity

Match the fraction cards to decimal cards Use your whiteboard to write equivalent pairs Read each number aloud to your partner Draw pictures to show what each number represents

Understanding Decimals and Fractions

{"left":"Decimals use a decimal point to show parts of a whole\nThe first digit after the decimal point shows tenths\nThe second digit shows hundredths\nWe read 0.5 as 'five tenths'","right":"Fractions show parts of a whole using a numerator and denominator\nThe bottom number tells us how many equal parts\nThe top number tells us how many parts we have\nWe read 1/2 as 'one half'"}

Comparing Decimals

Look at the tenths place first If tenths are the same, check hundredths 0.7 is greater than 0.65 because 7 tenths > 6 tenths Use symbols: > (greater than), < (less than), = (equal to)

Converting Fractions to Decimals

Let's Practice Together!

Which is greater: 0.3 or 0.25? Convert 7/10 to a decimal What fraction equals 0.45? Compare: 0.6 __ 0.60
