Description
This presentation is designed for an 8th grade classroom. However, it could certainly be useful for review in the Algebra 1 classroom or it could be easily modified to work in a 7th grade classroom. It is a great way to teach students how to compare fractions and decimals. It directly correlates to standard [7-NS2] and [8-NS2] in the Common Core. This lesson is designed to get students involved through questioning within the PowerPoint as well as a group activity. The answers to each example are provided at the end of the PowerPoint. It can be easily converted into a Flip Book for Smart Board users. I use the PowerPoint on my Smart Board as it is.
Included is a group activity and a worksheet with answers that may be used for a homework or classwork follow-up activity. It is a 20 question worksheet that includes computation questions, word problems ,and critical thinking questions.
I use this lesson in my 90 minute classroom, but it would be very simple to break the lesson up into 2 parts and teach in two 50 minute classes.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy!

CCSS7.NS.A.2
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
CCSS8.NS.A.2
Use rational approximations of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line diagram, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., π²). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.
