🎯 I Can Statements

Today I will practice:

• I can represent fractions with denominators of 3 and 8 using concrete models

• I can convert fractions to decimal equivalents with understanding

• I can explain the relationship between fractions and decimals

📊 Part 1: Fraction Strip Models

1. Use your fraction strips to model 2/3. What decimal does this equal?

0.6

0.666...

6. Explain why 1/3 gives a repeating decimal but 1/8 gives a terminating decimal. Use your models to help explain.

7. Show your work: Convert 5/8 to a decimal by dividing.

8. Challenge: Find two different fractions that both equal 0.375. Use your fraction strips to verify.

Fraction 1: __________ Fraction 2: __________
