Lessons (1)

Students learn how to convert from fractions to decimals.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8

Primary Subjects: Number and Operations

Related Topics: addition, converting, decimals, denominator, division, fractions, numerator, rational numbers, reducing fraction, subtraction

Activities (5)

The same as "Bounded Fraction Pointer" but there is no arrow to help the user determine the value of a fraction between the two endpoints. Bounded Fraction Finder is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8

Primary Subjects: Fractions, Number and Operations

Related Topics: comparing, fractions, number line, ordering, rational numbers

Visually represent two unique fractions that are equivalent to a given fraction. The fractional value is shown on a number line after you check to see if your fraction is correct. Equivalent Fraction Finder is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8

Primary Subjects: Fractions, Number and Operations

Related Topics: comparing, fractions, identity, multiples, number line, proportion, rational numbers

Visually represent two unique fractions that are equivalent to a given fraction. The fractional value is shown on a number line as you color in the fraction. Equivalent Fraction Pointer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
