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
