This set of leveled games helps your students practice comparing fractions, decimals, and percents (separately and combined). Three card sets are included. Use them for easy differentiation or play separate games alongside each of your separate lessons on equivalent fractions, comparing decimals, introducing percents, etc. - Set 1: fractions - Set 2: decimals - Set 3: percents After using each set, you can also mix any two or even all 3 of the card sets together as a review! The game is played

Fractions, Decimals, & Percents - Converting Between Fraction Form, Decimal Form, and Percent Form to Identify Equivalent Numbers (Differentiated Practice): This is a great activity for practicing converting between equivalent fractions, decimals, and percents. Students put together matches from cut up squares. A "match" can contain any combination of two fractions, decimals, or percents. Two different sets of cards are included. Choose the easier level or the more difficult set depending o

Equivalent Fractions, Decimals, & Percents - Halloween or Fall Practice / Review: This activity is great practice for equivalent fractions and converting between fractions, decimals, and percents. It works best if you print the activity sheets for each student / group and then print the sets of pumpkin pieces on cardstock (preferably orange). You can laminate the pieces to re-use year-to-year to reduce cutting time or you can just print and have students cut out their own pieces the night bef

Converting between Fractions and Decimals: 2 page visual "doodle notes" set - When students color or doodle in math class, it activates both hemispheres of the brain at the same time. There are proven benefits of this cross-lateral brain activity: - new learning - relaxation (less math anxiety) - visual connections - better memory & retention of the content! Students fill in the sheets, answer the questions, and color, doodle or embellish. Then, they can use it as a study guide later on. G

Adding and subtracting decimals is fun when students pretend they're dining out at a restaurant! This activity allows students to make dinner selections from a menu for Safari Restaurant. Then they answer questions based on real-life scenarios using decimal addition and subtraction with the prices. Teachers can make this a quick activity, or can even use tablecloths and decorate the room to create a fun experience for students simulating dining out. Try more great Math Giraffe resources: M

Fractions, Decimals, & Percents - Critical Thinking: Includes equivalent fractions, converting between number forms, and more. Two versions are included - Version 1 (Worksheet) - Students determine whether each statement is "always true," "sometimes true," or "never true." They color each one accordingly and end up with a design that can be checked quickly for accuracy (but cannot be easily predicted by students). Version 2 (Sorting Activity) - Students can work alone or in pairs or small gr

Decimal Addition and Subtraction - Golf Game: This is a fun way to work through practice problems with adding and subtracting positive decimals. Students "play" each hole on the course (5 hole-worksheet) by pulling a "driver" card, then an "iron" and then as many "putter" cards as necessary to sink the ball (get one right). Each card has a problem with decimal addition or subtraction. The golf worksheet has room for work, answers, and scores. A correct answer is 1 stroke. An incorrect answe
