This presentation will help students compare and order fractions, decimals, and percents. Students should already know how to write equivalent fractions and convert between fractions, decimals, and percents. May be an interactive synchronous lesson with whiteboards or math journals as you ask students to demonstrate how they converted and compared the values as they found their answers. Or record this lesson for asynchronous learning and independent practice. File format & use suggestions:
