Grouping:

Whole class instruction followed by groups of 4-5 students. Whole instruction will be used to review converting fractions into decimals and groups will be used to practice the topic with a hands-on activity.

Prior Knowledge:

Students are able to sequentially order numerals. Students are able to convert decimals into fractions and fractions into decimals.

Materials:

Procedure:

1. Review at the board how to convert fractions into decimals. Students will be expected to verbalize exactly what to do next as a class.

2. Practice problems at board as whole class and on paper as individuals.

3. Explain instructions for group activity.

4. Distribute materials.

5. Monitor group work and be readily available to answer any questions the students may have.

Assessment of Student Learning:

I will know that my students are able to convert and order fraction/decimals by their class participation, group work and homework.

Follow up:

Students will create their own flashcards for homework. The following day, students will exchange flashcards and quiz each other just as we did in class.
