MathAsALanguage

This lesson goes along with my math rap #MathAsALanguage to help students look for key words that may signal the use of certain operations, equation, or inequality symbols. It is designed to help out with being able to write equations and inequalities from word problems, and to take out the guess work of what a problem is asking for by understanding the terminology!

This product shows students that all decimals are tenths, hundredths, and thousandths and that a fraction with a denominator of 10 or 100 could easily be converted to a decimal. This lesson seeks to rid the misconception of a, for example, a fraction of 3/5 being 3.5 as a decimal by knowing the only way you can use the same numbers from the fraction for the decimal is if the part is over 10 or 100.

Help students understand percent to decimal conversion using a place value chart. This can be uploaded into Schoology as an Assignment.

This product is tailor made for Texas 7th Grade math! It includes the bar chart that will be glued to the outside of the folder, the student friendly "I can" statements of TEKS that are meant to show growth over time, and an introductory PowerPoint on how to assemble the folder.
