Give students and opportunity to practice and develop fluency converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. By using and comparing the different resources, students make important connections between the 3 representations, increasing conceptual understanding and decreasing the reliance upon (and potential errors using) memorization of rules and strategies. INCLUDES A BONUS FOLDABLE.

19 Interactive Slides! This resource introduces students to conceptual understanding of the relationship between fractions and decimals and strategies for converting from one to another. It is important that students explore conversion between fractions with a denominator that is a power of ten, to a denominator with a factor of a power of 10, to a denominator that is not a power of 10. Through practice and exploration, students learn to convert back and forth between fractions and decimals usin

20 Interactive Slides! This resource introduces students to conceptual understanding of the meaning of percents and the relationship between fractions and percents. It includes strategies for converting from percents to fractions and fractions to percents using both equivalent fractions and by first converting to decimals. It is important that students explore conversion between fractions with a denominator that is a factor of 100 to a denominator that is not a factor of 100. Through practice a

This foldable will allow students to describe in their own words how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percentages. If students use the foldable as they practice, they will gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between the three representations, and will begin to construct their own meaning of the conversions. This foldable is designed for repeated use in an interactive notebook.

19 Interactive Slides! This resource provides students with the opportunity to investigate the effects of multiplying and dividing powers of ten (in both expanded form and exponent form). Students will use inquiry to look for patterns, draw conclusions, and make generalizations about the products and quotients with powers of ten. Through practice and exploration, students will develop strategies and insights into effective methods for multiplying and dividing with powers of ten. When students

18 Interactive Slides! This resource introduces students to conceptual understanding of the relationship between decimals and percents and strategies for converting from one to another. It is important that students understand the relationship between "percent" (out of 100) and decimals (hundredths) in order to understand the conversions. Rather than providing rules and memorizing strategies, students learn through practice and exploration to convert back and forth between decimals and percents
